    2 Eggs A Day

    Hi all, with my latest additions of laying hens I have one girl that is laying 2 eggs a day almost every day. I have seen hens lay the odd extra egg but never this frequently. I was just wondering would this cause much of a problem or is she just a super layer. Thanks Nasnro

    Chain-link or welded wire fence?

    I want to ask your opinion, I know chain link is good(and cheap) but I want to know is it worth it to invest in welded wire fencing. The only predator It will have to deal with is a fox. Hope you can help.

    Fox proofing a tree

    I am planning to put coop and run underneath a few trees as it might provide shade for the hens during the day. My only concern is foxes climbing the tree at night. I'm open to any advice that does not involve cutting down the tree itself. Thanks for your advice.
