    youngsters kicking straw out of nest boxes

    I have two Australorps, about 21 months old and laying well, and added two 11-week-old pullets to the coop about a week ago. The youngsters seem to be kicking all of the straw out of the nest boxes every day so the hens have to lay on bare wood. Any suggestions on this? The pullets also seem...

    New chicken mom in Sacramento, CA

    Hi, I'm almost 6 weeks into this chicken-keeping business and fully hooked! I adopted two Australorp hens (about 1.5 years old) and also picked up four chicks from a breeder (feather-legged Cuckoo Marans and Jersey Giants) and ended up with a pair of each breed. Is there anything better...
