    Need advice with 8 month old comet

    My girl came to me at nine weeks and have been in a controlled environment. Laying eggs daily up until 4 days ago when she started acting semi lethargic. Fast forward this morning she couldn't get down the ladder from the coop so I took her into work and x-rayed her. Finding nickel size rocks in...

    Oh my goodness the size

    I've never seen such a big egg come out of my chickens. Kind of looks like an ostrich egg ☺️

    The best time

    When is the best time of day to collect the eggs? I have 3 young hen's and apparently only one is laying very early in the morning before I let them out in the run. I usually collect at noon when I clean the coop when I'm working but on my days off I've been taking it early. Any suggestions? I...

    When?

    I have 3 23 week old hens. 1 Maran and 2 Golden Comets. The smallest one a Comet started to lay a week ago but the other two nothing yet. I have patience and they are spoiled rotten but is this normal?

    Added a cover

    I've had my girls four months and do have netting over the top but thought with the rain and cooler weather around the corner felt this would be the best route to take. Now to anchor everything down.

    Suggestions for natural area

    I need help on what would be best to put down on the natural area of the enclosure. I'm tired of having to literally scoop up chicken droppings daily just to get to the coop.

    10×6 kennel floor

    I have a nice coop for my 3 girls. Using the deep litter method inside the run of the coop. I let them out of the coop that is surrounded by a 10x6 kennel. Right now there is half grass half mud/dirt and lots of droppings. I've had to go in there about once a day with a pooper scooper just to...

    Feeding other food

    I've heard so many saying they feed their chickens just about everything. My question is I'm afraid to leave it in the run at night while they are locked up for fear of attracting rodent's and vermin. I give my chickens a few hours to eat treats and wind up scooping it up. I've stopped trying to...

    I've had them 11 days

    It's been 11 days since they arrived and already have a routine. 10 weeks old and growing fast. I've spoiled them but that's okay they don't seem to mind. They are so comical to watch especially before dusk they run around each other like children playing tag. One of their favorite things is...

    Thank you for all your help

    My three girls on night 3 settled themselves all snuggled up in the coop by themselves. Such a good feeling.

    Bedtime

    I've had my 9 week old girls for 2 days now. Today they went up and down the ladder to the brooding area. They have 2 windows in there and a nice breeze but starting to get dark and I found myself picking them up to go there for the night. Should I be waiting for them to roost themselves? I...

    Work in progress

    My coop is up and in the location I am happy with. Thanks to all the information I have received here already about being prepared before the chickens arrive. I have 17 days and never realized how much money is involved in raising and protection from unforseen circumstances. Thank you again for...

    I recently purchased and assembled a coop big enough for 8 chickens but decided on getting three only. I live in a rural area and my property backs up to the woods. I have a trail camera set up and have seen the animals entering my yard so decided to put the coop close to the house. What's the...
