    When to raise the heat plate?

    I'M SCARED WHY IS MY CUCKOO MARAN LAYING LIGHT CREME EGGS INSTEAD OF DARK CHOCOLATE?

    My Cuckoo Marans and Black Copper Marans.. Oh, and Leghorn in middle! 😁 I really thought they would be darker based on pictures I’ve seen on line… Guess it depends on camera, lighting, etc…. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Why does my hen stick her whole head in the water bowl?

    I’ve got a Rhode Island Red that does that but she raises her head & splashes anyone close by.. It’s crazy, I can’t see how she’s getting any water!
