Ours had leftover spaghetti and homemade wheat bread this morning. They love scraps.

2/3 one just is not very productive

We got three baby chicks last March. We had them in a box on top of the dryer with a light hanging over for probably two weeks. Then we put them in a big tv box with plastic fencing around it and put them in a back corner of the den. We put pine shavings in the bottom and still had the light...

We have three ladies. I keep their feeder full all the time and they eat when they want. I give them cracked corn for a treat or for extra calories when it is cold. If we have leftover veggies, bread etc they get that. They also like a cabbage put in the metal hanging basket, keeps them busy...

Don't make your coop air tight or you will have too much moisture build up and it can cause respitory problems.

We use pine shavings. They don't mess in the nest box so stays clean.

Ours were 27 and 30 weeks before they started laying.

Ours have stopped laying too. No change in food.

Only 1/3 they were laying everyday. Now hit and miss. They are about 30 weeks. Could it be the shorter days? Anything we can do to get them going again?

Ours started squatting about two weeks before they started laying.

Blueberries, so far they seem to be a favorite.

Mine have not wanted to sleep on the roost. We have three and they all liked cuddling in the nest box. I have recently been putting them on the roost once it gets dark. Yours must like being close to each other. Seems like if they weren't comfortable they would move.

I bet they will start going out soon. Their systems get out of whack with change. We keep our food and water outside and they spend all day out. Maybe move yours out until the weather gets bad. Good luck!!

Two eggs today. Three hens but one has not stared laying yet.

We have three that are about 26 weeks. The red rock has been laying for about a month. One of the two Plymouth Rock just started this week and the other has just started her squatting so probably another week or two. It was hard waiting for that first one. Good luck hope your ladies start soon!!

When it starts to get light. Now about 6 am. They head to bed around 8 now that it is getting dark earlier.

Tried bananas and cottage cheese for the first time. Both went over well.

What is bunny bread?

I bet the trays are the issue. We just put shavings in ours and they seem to love it. Easy to clean out, I just scoop it up with dustpan once a week. We also bought a ceramic egg at the feed store and leave it in there. Looks just like a real egg. They lay their eggs right beside it everyday.
