    Connecticut!

    We dont have a cover crop but I use sand mixed with gravel in my run. I also feed and water in the run along with feeding them greens out there. I cant see how one could grow a cover crop with out a double run to grow out 1 side while they trash the other.

    Laying from on the roost?

    I have 6 birds. 5 are laying. 3 use 1 nest box , 1 uses the other nest box and I have a bird laying from off the roost. She drops the egg into the poop on the poop board or onto the board itself. Is there anyway I can break this Or should I add another nest box and hope it helps?

    Quote: I dump ash into my sand pile and mix it in. When we clean the coop and run I add some fresh sand along with a bag of gravel. They seem to love it and go nuts. Especially when its sunny and warm.

    Rasins? My chickens go NUTS for them

    My one hen McNugget will jump a few feet off the ground to take raisins from my hand and acts like a junkie when ever one enters the run looking for treats and we only gave them to her a couple times.

    Names for our new peeps

    We take our time naming critters. Because when we name something quick it always winds up adopting a different name down the road anyway. Once they each start having their own personality the name will come to you.
