    Deep litter method

    First egg.. cracked and under roosting pole

    Unfortunately, my flock is not free -range... we are in a residential zoned area and can only let them range while I out with them. So I know my oldest lady has not been laying in the yard. This is why I am concerned.

    First egg.. cracked and under roosting pole

    Help!!! So i has been 6 days since we got our first "cracked egg"… is it normal to go this long and not receive any other eggs? I did find a small (grape size) pouch-looking thing in the run on Saturday, but that is it. I'm getting nervous that something is wrong with my lil' lady.

    First egg.. cracked and under roosting pole

    I put some easter eggs in the boxes, as well as some extra straw under the roosting boards (we have a sand poop board, so I thought your suggestion of some straw to soften the landing was a good idea). I am excited to see what tomorrow brings!!! Thank you all for your advice.

    Please help! is our Trixie a rooster?

    Oh... lovely! this makes me very happy. This is our first flock and when someone suggested she may be a Rooster... I felt very uneasy...after everything I've read and about what "she" may be. As we were hoping to only have a flock of ladies!

    I blocked them off (boxes) to prevent the ladies from sleeping in them.
