    Birds are getting into the run

    Sparrows and Jays are getting into the run for free food. Any ideas how I can modify the door opening so the girls can come and go, but keep the unwelcomed birds out? Was thinking of hanging some sort of screen about a foot off the ground, with the door being part way open. What say you?

    Can a chicken poop if egg bound?

    I googled the question and it said, no. My Speckled Sussex has yet to lay an egg. She's not feeling well as she looks like she is tired. She hung out in the coop part of the day and free ranging the rest of today. Wonder if she ate something that she should not have. All I can do is hope for the...

    Scrambled Egg?

    Wouldn't you know it, this morning my brown leghorn alerted everyone that she laid an egg. Went to check the box and what she left looked like a partial scrambled egg.

    Soft Shell Egg is Interesting

    2 of my 4 hens/pullets are starting to lay their eggs. The Leghorns eggs are all fine except on the small side.
