    ⠀ Wanting more orange color yolks!

    I've heard that feeding marigolds to my hens will help pigment their yolk? Also I have heard good and bad things about switching to corn. I have way too many predators to free range here but we are now going to provide a huge run which will give them access to more bugs

    Will too much veggies slow down egg production?

    The last couple days my girls have only layed 4 out of 6 eggs. They used to lay daily now they don't. I've been feeding them lots of left over veggies and I've noticed they don't eat as much of their pellet chicken food. I'm guessing I should slow down in the feeding scraps department? Please help!?

    Roof on run

    I built an 8x8 fully fenced run( bottom sides and top) Should I also put a roof on to shield from rain? Or will the chickens just stay inside all day in the rain?

    All hens using the same nesting box! Normal?

    Hi there. I'm new to the chicken owner world. Recently got 6 Golden Comets. We build a nice 4x4x5 coop and 8x8 fenced run. They all seem to be using the same nesting box when I have supplied 4! They poop in the others. Is this normal to all use the same box and have one hen lay on all the eggs?
