    Looking for some data around egg laying habit tracking

    I'm doing some research around the egg laying tracking habits of backyard chicken owners like myself. If you do (or even if you don't), I would greatly appreciate a moment of your time to answer some easy questions around it. http://goo.gl/forms/RKPp61K34H It should only take a couple of...

    Best feeder to prevent waste??

    Nesting/laying on coop floor: coop pics attached for sugegstions

    Sorry for the confusion, they have never used the nest boxes. The picture of the nest was on the floor in a different spot. Since posting this morning, they have already started making another floor nest, more like the original. Prior to curtains, they used to roost in the upper level boxes...

    Nesting/laying on coop floor: coop pics attached for sugegstions

    Two of my three hens are laying on the coop floor in the same spot (sharing a "nest"). Since they avoid laying near the roost, I don't really mind, I'm more curious as to why not in the nesting boxes provided. I've read some of the other threads around the same topic. I have even removed the...

    I'm kina lost

    Neither chicken looks like a rooster. The barred rock kinda have that rooster quality to a new chicken parent (completely speaking from experience). I just got one myself and yours looks just like my hen.

We have three chickens: Fifi (Barred Rock), Starlight (Light Brahma) and Angela Merkel (Buff Orpington). I built the coop/run myself and...
