    First egg but hens not going into nesting box?

    I kept the nesting boxes blocked off. Opened them up a couple weeks ago, saw Ruby go in once. She has laid an egg a day in there since Sunday! This pic is before I added sand and bedding.

Tried it in the Brooder, FANTASTIC held warmth very well...

    Anyone use SAND in the run/coop

    Got a few pics today my girls are 10 weeks tomorrow. I am in CA and was able to move my girls out to the coop at 3-4 weeks and used the coop as the brooder for a week or so. Then out into the run, they go in the coop to bed every night, very fun to watch.
