They have full access to the whole board on both sides....these have all been eaten long ago...so the chickens I've had since these will do the same thing.....stay off the one roost and cram on the other one like the pic ... They are on the board as well.....chickens do not listen very well ...lol
That stinks about the dog! Shock collar might work and of course watching them closely ... I like the big, dark brown eggs my Marans give ... they are very shy ... nice birds!
Hey guys and gals! Long time no talk! Hunting season has kept me busy .. what is new with you all?
Update from "The Eggplant" .... about 2months ago my Buttercups stopped laying and appeared to be molting ... 2 weeks later my Marans stopped laying .... last week I started getting Buttercup eggs...
Not this year ... for run size I am at my comfort zone ... gonna double it next year tho
Absolutely!! I get aggravated when those dang hens are in my way of seeing what is on nest!!
YEAY!!!!! Congrats!!! Must.Have.Picks!!!
Tic Toc ..... they are coming soon!!!
My young ones are starting to lay .. I saw an Australorp in the box yessterday ... I am getting 9- 11 eggs a day
OH! I also adopted a 18 week old Partridge Rock Rooster from my brother who can't have...
Yessir on both accounts ... the giant is a Maran egg and the little one had white and a few splashes of yellow in it, which I am believing to called a fart egg ....
I can't wait to hear your progress!!!
Did I post my Eggzilla on this thread yet? look at this sucker and the next day I got the smallest egg I have ever seen!
it sat over an inch above the top of the egg carton
Let's see your monster egg! I got one yesterday that is massive! It came from my Cuckoo Maran that gives me jumbo eggs anyway but this one is off the charts!
It sits over an inch from the top of the carton!
