    Another new layer!

    Today Marsha layed her first egg! 🥰 It's a tiny, cute little egg that weighs in at 31 grams. She's been squatting for about a week. Today she was acting very panicked and kept going in and out of the nesting box so I had feeling today would be the day! One of my other pullets, Millie, layed her...

    She did it! FIRST EGG!!!!

    Millie layed her first egg! 🥰 She even layed it in the nesting box. Isn't it beautiful?! She layed a soft shell egg that was broken/torn in the coop two days ago but I told her we wouldn't count that one.

    The wait for my egg factories is awful!

    New coop build

    Good afternoon! My husband and I are new to chickens. We're almost done with our coop and I wanted to double check that we didn't miss anything important. For starts, we live in central Iowa. Our coop is 4' x 5' for 4 chickens and the run is 8' x 5' with another 4 ft under the coop. The run has...

    Is this sand safe for 2 week old chicks?

    Hi guys! I've researched and read on the types of sand to use and what not to use but I want to double check. We have a two week old that is starting to take dust baths in her bedding and crumble any chance she gets so I think it's time to get some sand! Plus the other girls will probably enjoy...
