i live in nj looking for a coop design or ideas. right now i have six keets looking to have the maxium of 18. i am looking for one off the ground and be year round.
long story short my girls layed there first eggs yesterday, three small ones, but still layed some. today nothing, i was reading someware it stated not to feed them fruit (which will make them stop laying), and yesterday they got some peaches. so is this true?
is this normal? she walks / runs fine when she is laying on her side she is eating still and picking around, no limping or anything like that. just want to make sure is fine.
i have one of my hens keep ing on her rightside / wing, but she is able to walk fine and acts normal other then lying on her side. is this normal or should i be worried?
Just got my new coop and i am thinking of painting the inside of it? is it worth it or just a waist of time? i am either going to use left over deck stain which is either gray to light tan, or i might have some old cheep out door white paint.
