    Dust bathing in the nesting boxes UGH

    I put everyone in the hen house at night while they were sleeping. It went okay. But they are still scared to go down below with the other chickens... they don't seem to mind the older ones when they come in to lay eggs.

    It's been almost year now with my original flock of 10 birds.. I recently got 10 more... they were 16 weeks old when I purchased them... the "babies" won't leave the hen house and go into the run with the older chickens..

    Selling chicken eggs

    The only egg seller that's near by is about 30 mins away, she's my husband's aunt. She sells her eggs for $4 she was selling them cheaper but has since upped her price.. she still sells a good bit but lost a few customers because of it.

    Thanks for the reply! I was thinking about at least going up to $3.00. And you are absolutely right! Fresh eggs are definitely better 🤗
