    Chickie'sMoma, below is a link to some info I got last year from Dick about the Fav's you got. I think it was the larger white that layed the egg, she was in the nesting box before we left the house yesterday. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/268082/faverolles-thread/2750 Iyman

    Feed running out... Ordered more but....

    They will eat anything, even styrofome coolers . I don't think changing there diet will hurt them one bit, its in their nature to be scavengers, they will adjust to anything you feed them, or they feel like eaing.

    Height of a chicken door.

    Chickes LOVE Gardens, they will eat it up.. I use the Fence to Keep then out of the garden, flower beds (mine love Tulips and Roses) I would do like "KBlue" said "Set up a compost pile for the manure so you can still reap that benefit!"

    Is a 3 foot high run high enough?

    from my experiance, I would do 4' high, it will make it easy on the back to do anything in there, plus 2x4's come in 8' , just cut them in half.
