I have 7 hens and 4 nesting boxes and everyone thinks they have to lay their eggs in one box...how do I encourage them to lay in different boxes?
Thanks!
Michelle
Thanks! About how long does it take for the eggs to get bigger...the more they lay, the bigger they get...to a point...just curious if it has to do with age of the hen or how many eggs they lay?
Ok so this is totally a newbie question and probably one you all laugh at...BUT
Is it okay to eat the first egg ever laid by a chicken? I mean I am sure it is, but I was just wondering if there was any sort of difference between the first egg ever laid and subsequent eggs...
These chickens...
I just purchased 4 Barred Rocks and 4 Rhode Island Reds (chicks)and have them in my house as well...I would be interested in the answer to this question too! I have no other chickens, just need to know when they can go outside.
I have a related question (sort of):
Should they have a light on...
Good afternoon!
I am new here, don't have any chickens yet, but plan on getting some in the Spring of 2009.
I hope to learn a few things before then, so that is why I joined this forum.
