    I have egg eaters. GRR! Please critique my rollaway nesting box plan.

    I want to be able to gather eggs from behind the nesting box so I don't have to go into the coop. I also have a narrow coop, so I need to keep my nesting boxes shallow... I don't want it any deeper than they need to be. So, what do you think? Each square = 3 inches.

    "Babies" (they're 20+ weeks old) will not return to the run

    I let my chickens out to roam when I go into their run to change their water and food. I was able to successfully train last year's birds to return to the run by making a "chick chick chick" call while throwing scratch into their run. THIS year, I was away from my flock when they started...

    when to start layer feed?

    Fred's Hens, have been reading and enjoying your posts for over a year, and I appreciate your wisdom. I have only six layers, but I will see about either mixing my own feed or looking for a producer, like you suggest. I am aware that chickens are not (and should not be) vegetarians. Does...

    Hen has stopped laying, not broody, not molting...

    My Easter Egger is about a year old. The last day she laid an egg was 18 days ago. She looks and acts perfectly normal. My chickens are all contained so it's not possible that she has decided to lay somewhere else. Any ideas?

    Door problem: the chickens kick dirt/bedding into the door jamb and the debris pries the door open

    Does anyone have an answer for this? I never anticipated this when building my coop and run. I suppose I could build doors so that they swing in instead of out, but that's not really practical.

    How to keep the chicks out of the garden?

    I have three chickens, but will be adding another three this spring. Right now on occasion I let my chicks out of their run and they explore the yard and scratch in the garden, which is fine since it's winter and I just have the leftover kale and chard in there and the chickens aren't hurting...

    I Need Tips on How to Add Three New Hens to an existing small flock

    I'll be interested in seeing what others say. I have heard that a "see but not touch" arrangement is good -- like putting them in a pen next to your existing birds so they get used to the idea of each other before they hang out together.

    8 mo old EE still not laying

    My EE was exactly 7 months old when she started laying. But now she lays very regularly -- a rock star and worth the wait! I hope yours starts laying soon.

    Easter Egger's first egg on her 7 month birthday. (pic)

    She finally did it! She was in and out of the nesting boxes all morning trying to figure out how they are supposed to work. It's a grassy-green 1.7 ouncer! Not bad for her first egg!
