    NYONE. I have a question: If there is a locked caged run, why is there a need for a pop door? Seems like more of a hassle to have to let them out each morning and close them in at night. Thanks.

    Easter Eggers at 36 weeks and still no eggs?!

    I just started supplementing light when someone earlier in my post suggested it. I just hung a string of christmas 10 lights in their coop. It's been a couple weeks now.

    very pretty! my other EE's comb looks like that. I'm hoping she'll lay soon but now I know it will be harder to tell when she does since we are now getting eggs from my first layer. My hope has been restored tho!

    Well, this is the collection I got at exactly 38 weeks! Tiger laid her first egg! Do you know how excited we all were? And we don't even care that in 14 days we have only received 5 blue eggs, because dammit, we got eggs!! Congratulations Tiger! Now how do I get Charlie to lay her blue eggs??

    We tried to watch and figure out who was laying and what their egg looked like. We are sure 6 of the hens are laying and what their eggs look like. We are not sure what our blue laced red wyandotte's egg look like but often find her feathers in the next box. We have never seen the 2 EE's in the...

    We free range as much as possible. However, there are hawks in the woods behind us, so I can't let them out all the time. Now that winter has hit, probably 2-3 hours a few times a week. In the summer when we were outdoors more often they were out all the time. Free ranging wouldn't have any...

    I have 9 girls in my flock and 7 of them lay eggs, getting about 5 brown eggs per day. However, my 2 Easter Eggs still haven't begun to lay. I know we all have to play the "wait patiently" game, but isn't 36 weeks a little long? Are EE known for being slower to mature? Now with the Georgia...
