One of the girls isn't well today. Someone has been dropping rubber eggs off and on... I'm not sure if it's Lucy, but from the way she's standing this afternoon with her back kind of hunched, not eating or drinking, I'm afraid she's got one stuck. She was fine this morning.
I've read here on...
3 of my 4 girls just started laying a week ago (only 4-1/2 months, wasn't expecting it yet!) The two who layed first seem to go about 9 - 9:30 in the morning, the third prefers afternoons (I'm not a morning person, either ).
I have to leave at 7AM tomorrow, and won't be home til well after...
My brother-in-law, bless his heart, built a chicken tractor for me, for my 4 gals. The coop part is 2-1/2' x 3', but the only vents are a 3-1/5" x 4-1/2" screened triangle in the apex of the roof on both ends.
I'm thinking that's not nearly enough... is it? And should there be a way to close...
