Hello everyone!
I am looking into setting up a few breeding pens as we ad more breeds to our flock. For those of you who have breeding pens would you be willing to share some pictures of your setup? Any tips or ideas would be appreciated! :)
Does anyone here have roll away nesting boxes in their coop? How do you like them and how have they worked for you? Worth the extra money? Thanks in advance!
Hello!
For those of you who sell eggs, where do you get your egg cartons? The cheapest I've been able to find is around 30¢ each and I'm just wondering if I can do any better than that. I would like to get flat top paper cartons, but we could also do egg view paper cartons if they were cheaper...
What kind of nesting boxes do you use for your guineas? Mine have always free ranged and I would just go out and find the nest, this year I am keeping them in the coop. What kind of nesting box would be best?
Thanks!

I have 10 really great hens that are great layers, there is only one problem... They eat their eggs as soon as they lay them. If one goes in the coop to lay, 3-5 will follow them and just watch them until they lay the egg and then they all jump on the egg and eat it in seconds. My question is...

I have always heard that geese were mean, is this true. I have never had any before and I was thinking about getting some, but don't want to get anything that is going to be mean.
I found a guinea nest today!!! I am so excited!!!
The best I can tell they started yesterday. We will soon have cute little keets 24/7!
Can't wait to try out my new incubator! It will hold like 250 eggs so I will not run out of incubator room this season!

In your opinion, what is the best breed of egg laying chickens? Are there any that will lay 2 eggs a day? What breeds will lay the biggest eggs?
Thanks,

Right now I have 3 RIR hens, 3 Buff Orpington hens, and 4 Game hens.
I am wanting to add some more hens to up my egg count. I was wondering what breed I should get to do this.
Whatever breed it is I want them to lay real big eggs and a lot of them.
Do yall know of any good breeds for this...
Ok, lets say one of my chickens lays an egg in the morning and I go get it and bring it in, how long can the egg sit on the counter before it goes bad?
Ok, I think I need to worm my chickens, but I have a few questions first.
I have a mixed flock made up of: 3 RIR hens, 3 Buff Orpington hens, and 4 Game hens.
1-What type of wormer should I use?
2-Is this a good time to worm them?
3-Will they still lay while they are being wormed?
4-Can we...
