So my girls have just started really getting in the swing of laying. I would like to get some light for their coop for winter. Ideally I could set the timer for a few hours in the early morning before the sun comes up. I have no source of power at my coop. All of the solar lights I have found do...
I sent my husband to the feed store to get my 18 week old hens/pullets some feed. Before I read the sack we had loaded all the feeders (50lbs). Are they going to be OK with this for a few weeks? I’ve got one or two girls that have started playing and I have supplemental oyster shells out for them.

We purchased baby chicks about eight weeks ago and have three Buff Orpington‘s three Barred Rocks and three Easter Eggers. I’m thinking one of my Easter Eggers is a roo! What do you think?
