    Time of day chickens lay eggs?

    We let ours out in the mornings and they just come back to the boxes to lay eggs when they’re ready. They have to take turns because only two of the nesting boxes are acceptable for use :barnie

    WHO DEM BABIES IS!

    She got her name cause her toes are twisted but they don’t seem to bother her. My husband calls her Torpedo sometimes cause of how she looks when she runs :)
