Sorry for the newbie "dumb" questions here, but I'm trying to figure out if I need a place for my chickens to lay eggs while they are out in the run away from the coop during the day. I wasn't able to track down this answer anywhere so far (though I'm sure it's out there!). I have a nest box...
I'm new to this whole chicken thing and I'm wondering if it's OK to get chicks at this time of year? Will they actually start laying at the proper age if it's late fall/early winter - I've heard that they won't lay very much during the colder darker months.
Also: I was hoping to get about 4...
