    First Egg! What a ruckus- are they always this loud?

    I am new to chickens, and I kept hearing about this infamous, lovely "egg song" that the hens sing. I imagined nice little tweet tweets, and coos and caas. It was a heavenly little tune I had imagined up, almost like a songbird singing first thing in the morning......then came the ...BAWK...

    Question on purpose of lighting coop

    I am thinking about getting (or building) one that mounts to the wall. right now just in dishes on the ground. I guess what I want to know is it is usless to light the coop at night if I put the food up? At least for now until I get the new feeder in.

    Question on purpose of lighting coop

    Ok, so I understand that the girls need more light to continue laying. Is the purpose of lighting so they have longer times to eat? The reason I ask is, I have had a problem with mice so at night I try to make sure the food is up.
