    I have 6 hens at 19 weeks old (Australorp, sex-link, plymouth rock). They're free ranging with the rest of the flock who are laying their eggs in the coup. I haven't seen any of the young hens' eggs... so I'm not sure if they just haven't started laying yet or they're laying somewhere in the...

    Free Range Questions

    My chickens have a ~140 sqft run with the coop. They typically roost in a big cedar inside the run rather than the coop. I just recently installed an automatic door to outside the run. The hens took to it right away and began free ranging (took them a day or so to figure out the only water is...
