    Normal or odd ??

    I use stall dry in my coop and run. Never have had a problem.. So I dont think it would be that.

    First time in the snow, what a hoot!

    My girls get so angry when it snows.. they complain more than I do about it. They dont even come out of the run anymore. Maybe I should hook up some cable tv for them to watch to pass their day!

    How do you get them to lay in the box??

    I guess there is nothing wrong with laying on the floor. I use the deep litter method so there is plenty of shavings for a nest. I just wanted them in their boxes. Maybe someday I'll have one who will show them how to do it...

    How do you get them to lay in the box??

    I finally have 2 girls laying, but they have yet to hit their nesting box. They seem to like the floor of their coop better. I've put in a golf ball but they just kick it out... I have also moved an egg after its been layed to the box hoping they would see it and get the idea. Any tricks...

    No way are mine EVER going to lay. Why should they work for a living when they are treated like queens.. They knock at the sliding door and my husband runs to feed them treats! They have him very well trained!

    WHooboy are my girls mad at the snow falling!! I opened their run so they can free range and they have yet to pop outside. They are in their covered run complaining their little hearts out! I dont have the heart to tell them it has only just begun!

    From squat to first egg...

    I dont think you can make them squat. It is just something that will happen in time. Of course I'm a new chicken farmer so dont quote me!
