    Feeders

    Hello. I’m looking for a better feeder. The girls empty this one twice a day. Hard to tell if their eating or dumping-the ground is covered with straw so it’s hard to see. Thank a for the advice!

    Premature egg

    They are only 20 wks. I got them as day olds. I was shocked too. However the other eggs, since the first, are like medium sized. Still big from what I’ve seen. Must be the awesome treats they get every few days 😁. Or they love me...one of the two😂

    coop size too small or too big which is better

    Thanks for your help for some reason I thought smaller would be better so they could stay warm- snuggled up. But now I understand the still need a lot of room to walk around inside because of the weather and roost when its cold . :):thumbsup
