Hey all, thanks for helping with my flock. The girls REALLY appreciate it! My lone EE has stopped laying. Its been at least a 10 days. Is it okay for her to eat the 16% feed? She's a tough bird, but I thought I had heard chatter about the high protein being bad for non layers.
Also, I mix...
Why, oh why is my hen sleeping under the other hens??? One of my amber whites cuddles up in the same spot and gets pooped on every night...
I've been going out most nights and putting her on the roost, and as far as I can tell, she stays on the roost all night. But next night I find her in...
Hi ya’ll,
For the last few mornings I have been finding broken eggs under the roost in my coop. Looks like they are laying overnight or something. Has anyone else seen this? What to do?

This is my second coop build, I made some nice improvements, bit always a work in progress.here it is before trim and without a roof... The perch is a foot off the floor and a foot off the back...
Hi all, darn glad to be here. My family and I are beginning round 2 of keeping chickens. Our first flock was awesome, but we were not set up properly. I built a coop and small pen on a shoestring budget. It was decent, but not good enough. In the end, a raccoon finished off our flock.
