    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Well, March is over...we got 351 eggs total for the month, so that's 29.25 dozen. As it's just the two of us, we're SWIMMING in eggs!

    All I Can See Is A Rooster I Want To Kill!

    He'd be so much stew meat if he were mine. I also just HAVE to say that the first thing I thought of when I read your thread title was the movie "Dune". Do I have a fellow sci-fi buff here???

    OSB for chicken coop walls?????

    We did the same as farmer-lew...caulked all seams and used "Kilz Siding, Fence, & Barn Paint" (outside only). We've had it up for about a year now and there are no signs of moisture damage so far.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    8/15. I don't know why I get discouraged if I don't get more...I've collected 133 eggs this month (average 9+ per day), which is FAR more than we need.

    Runs or free Range

    Quote: Same here. I did keep mine enclosed until a few weeks ago and finally decided to let them out...glad I did.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Quote: Ha HA!!! Found it! 20 eggs inside an old plastic waste basket under my back porch. As before, I candled/floated and all were clear and sank like a rock, but I'll crack into a bowl just to be sure. So with the 11/15 layed today, that makes 31.

    Chickens won't eat scraps

    Quote: When I try to give then scraps, I'll cut up/pinch up whatever it is (greens, fruit, cooked beans/peas, bread, etc) and toss a handful amongst them. They'll run right over and grab it up...and then spit it right back out. Then they give me "the look" as if I'd just tried to poison them...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    6/15 today, but in their defense we were plowing right next to the coop most of the day...and they were NOT happy about it!

    Hens dont roost

    We built a ladder-type roost for our coop that's hinged onto the wall at the top so we can life it out of the way when needed. It took my flock about two weeks before they all started roosting.
