I love this forum.
I'm getting ready to build the nest boxes for my new coop. I finally removed the nests from my old coop since my hens NEVER laid in them, always on the floor. They were 12"X12" and 12" off the floor. They had straw in them and golf balls and a curtain to keep it dark. Also...
Ideal Hatchery offers a white-egg-laying breed called Production Black. Has anyone tried these? I might have read somewhere that it's the same as California Grey, which I also know nothing about. I want an egg-laying breed but not white because I'm worried the hawks will get them.
I'm excited...
