    22 Weeks - 18 Hens - 22 Eggs total

    I am at a loss. I anticipated that I would be farther along in my egg production than I am now. I know they will lay on their own good time, but this is getting a bit odd. I do have one interesting note to add. One of my girls actually lays her eggs while roosting and then the egg rolls down...

    A runt or is there more to it?

    The hatchery just confirmed that they are all roosters.

    Are these the beginning of a rooster spur?

    A runt or is there more to it?

    Here is an update on what I think are 4 Roos in my group. Thoughts appreciated! The second to last picture is what all my other "hens" look like. All of them are 15 weeks.

    Conveyor Belt Poop Shoot

    Why does the poop board need to be so wide?

    Conveyor Belt Poop Shoot

    I know I should have gotten rid of some of the chickens when the hatchery sent nearly twice my order, but now they are my girls and I want to make this work. When the weather turns and they are free tanging it will get easier.

    Conveyor Belt Poop Shoot

    Redbeard you always make TOO MUCH SENSE... But I need a better solution than the poop boxes I built. They get heavy and ackward.

    Conveyor Belt Poop Shoot

    I am thinking of a remodel of my interior. I am going to place my roost bar (2" x 4" x 14") to run down the middle of my coop near the apex of the roof. I am thinking of building a conveyor poop board right underneath it and have it dump outside my end door into a wagon. Thoughts?

    I will try to find them homes. Not sure how much luck I will have, but I’ll give it a go. If I can’t, at what point is it optimal to butcher them to eat?

    A runt or is there more to it?

    I made the decision to euthanize her based on a great amount of information and advice. Wasn’t easy, but needed to be done. I spoke with Meyer Hatchery yesterday that I thought I had cockerels and they said I was covered 100%. I sent them pics as well. I can’t have Roos in town, so losing them...

    Install my poop boards right above the nesting boxes? That will be a ceiling to the boxes of about 13-14" and a width of about 32" and a length of 60", is that enough for the hens to get to the boxes? I plan then to put roosting boards (across the width of the coop as are the ones at the other...

    Here is the new position of my nesting boxes. I have already removed the roosts from the fronts. I can put a slope to the top of them pretty easily.

    Thanks for all the advice, support and help 123RedBeard. As a rookie I have been learning as I go and it has been great that there are people like you and so many others who have taken time out of their day to read my insanity and then help provide a path for success. I'm not sure if I am going...

    7 WK old runt that has issue

    This is my 7 week old runt. She is a 1/3 of the size as all the others. The issue I have with her is that she has no tail feathers and has a very liquid poo matted in the feathers she does have. She has a HORRIBLE STENCH to her as well. Can smell her coming. She eats and drinks and seems to...
