2 from 3 hens!

I have 3 buff orpingtons which are about a year old. If I get eggs, I either get 0, 1 or 2, never 3 in one day, Wouldn't I get 3 eggs once in a while if all 3 are laying? I don't know which ones are laying the eggs, I think they are all laying. I know I could put dye on their vents but I...

I had two magnetic bumper stickers on my car and someone stole them!!! I guess they were jealous!

I shut the coop door but it opened sometime in the night.it usually latches but I didn't latch it enough and it fell open. 2 hens died I believe from getting cold. It dropped to 20s last night. I think it was the wind.they also have survived -11 one night and bitter cold single digits recently...

My 70 pound lab-mix herds mine (even when I don't ask!) but overall does a great job and is very proud of it. sometimes he herds them back to the coop before I even get them out!!! He loves it. He can't wait to "help" me with them every afternoon when I get home from work.
