    Thank you so much! I appreciate your guidance! I will find a way to make their run/coop larger, we only have six and they free range all day from sunrise to sunset, the only time they stay in the run enclosure is if there is bad weather, heavy rains, etc. I will make more nesting boxes...

    First Egg from Our First Flock!

    This lady has had me so worried for the past few days, she has been very vocal, irritable, running around, going in and out of the coop, and today she started laying! She is one of six chicks we received in September 2021 from McMurray Hatchery! The first to lay, super proud of her!!!

    Is this poop normal?!

    Yes, all 6 pullets drink a lot of water. I stopped giving then grubs, see if that helps, I have not seen any other dropping like that one again. Just that one, yesterday.

    Help!!!

    One of our 22 weeks old pullet, has been agitated since yesterday, wakes up very vocal, it almost sound like the egg laying song. This morning the same, she won't stop making all kind of sounds, I have checked her, she looks well, no signs of injuries, she is even now making a donkey like sound...
