    How long should I leave the egg in the nesting box?

    My first egg from my flock was laid today and I do not know how long I should leave it in the box, I'm kind of worried about it getting broken and the egg eating issue starting should I leave it there for an example for the other birds or take it out right away?

    I bought straight run of a few different breeds they range frome 3-4 weeks are they still to young t

    Yes, I do see what you mean. there is quite a difference I believe mine make 3 weeks old tomorrow. The picture I posted is my largest of the BCM that I have. so it might seem like its safe to say this is a pullet then?

    Ok newbie not sure what I should do...

    Maybe you could run a cord out there with a hang lamp to put off some heat for her. ( I do this for mine and I have one of those shop lights that you squeeze the clip and it clings on to something and I put a red floodlight light bulb in it. It puts off a good bit of heat.) Just an idea...
