    My Sapphire Gems started to lay around 20-21 weeks, One is more consistent than the other. I have what I think is a CQ (or a New Hampshire Red or RI Red) she followed at 21-22 weeks as well. I have them finishing off their grower feed and have a separate thing for oyster shells. I plan on...

    Temperature question: when is it time to put cooling measures out? Today was kinda warm but tolerable. I plan on putting a thermometer, I can monitor from my phone, in the coop. When is a starting warm temperature to put ice cubes in and a little pool to cool the girls feet?
