    Laying on the floor

    I redesigned my coop after learning so much. Since then my hen has been only laying her eggs on the floor. So the old set up had wood dividers and was open on the top. They would roost on the dividers and poop in the nesting boxes. New set up is a covered shelf with deep plastic bins that i cut...

    Twins?

    My RI RED just started laying 2 weeks ago and I have been getting an egg every 1.5 days. This morning she laid 2 eggs that had extremely thin shells. One of them broke as I tried to pick it up. Is this typical to have a chicken lay 2 eggs at the same time? Is it understandable that those two...

    Shed conversion... will this work?

    Oh my gosh.... I knew it was wrong, but I guess I didn't know how wrong. My husband is going to kill me. He wanted to give the chickens most of the shed and I talked him down. Having chickens is something I have always wanted and my hubby has finally decided to support me. We spent the weekend...

    Shed conversion... will this work?

    I am really confused. The coop in the picture I bought from tractor supply and the packing said up to 6 chickens (which I thought was small) the interior of that is 2.5x2.5 which includes 3 boxes and a floor space with roasts.

    Inside the shed they have 5.5ft x 2.5 ft of floor space and then the boxes are 5.5ft x 1.5 ft divided into 5. The outdoor space will be 8ft x 10 ft.I will mostly use one of the boxes for water so that is really 4 nests.

    Shed conversion... will this work?

    We have switched out playhouse shed into a coop. There was an existing door that led to a bridge. So we took that and cut the bridge in half. Then we built the nesting boxing and all that inside. We have 6 5wk old chick's and one hen that just laid her first egg. If this going to be a good size...
