    fighting over nesting boxes...

    My girls did it once, so I removed the dividers , now they have one long shelf if you will with hay on it. I often find the eggs all together in the middle with the hay all nicley sorted in a nest circle. Thats my cure for fighting and I don't have to go hunt for eggs

    Our coop

    Chute, has anyone used one?

    Quote: Picture? I am currently looking for ideas to do the same. We are building a second coop for the big ladies and the 5 week olds can then go into the "mow n grow" while the pullets enjoy the bigger coop to themselves. Untill they are both intergrated I will run them in seperate coops.

    Egg question for ya all....Should I toss them or keep them?

    Very interesting thanks everyone for sharing. That article was very good. What I got from it is that eggs are best kept unwashed and in the fridge? Anyone else? My eggs would suffer a death of children who must feel fresh eggs constantly when they are out of the fridge in a wire basket LOL
