    My 2 BOs and 4 RIRs are about 20 weeks. Over the past 3 weeks, I have received a total of 4 eggs. Should this be cause for concern, or will they all start popping out the eggs regularly, soon?

    Training help please.

    I have my 5 week old chicks, turned outside earlier this week. Thing is, they won't come out in the morning on their own and won't go in at night on their own. Any advice on how to get them to know how to do that?
