    Drop in egg production

    We recently rehomed 2 bantam roosters from our flock - can’t have Roos in my neighborhood, unfortunately. Ever since the roosters have gone our egg count has gone down from about 6-8 eggs a day to 2-4 per day. Also, our hens seem to be keeping closer to the enclosed coop area rather than...

    Coop alteration/design advice

    Hi all, Last summer we bought a coop from tractor supply with the idea that this summer we would build a fence to go around it for an inclosed safe run. Now that spring is here we are trying to start plans for how to do the enclosed run. At first our plan was to purchase a large fenced chicken...
