    1egg a day

    I don’t think they are eating their own eggs. I am keeping an eye out though. Why else would I be only getting 1 egg. Do they stop producing eggs when they are 3, it doesn’t make sense.

    Comment by 'swseeds' in article 'Wichita Cabin Coop'

    I am brand new to raising chickens and I love this design. It is a bit overwhelming reading about poop boards and removing boards and everything. So much more goes into then I thought. I am hoping we do this right. I am excited but very nervous now. Thank you for all the pictures and details.
