    Well, March is over...we got 351 eggs total for the month, so that's 29.25 dozen. As it's just the two of us, we're SWIMMING in eggs!

    All I Can See Is A Rooster I Want To Kill!

    He'd be so much stew meat if he were mine. I also just HAVE to say that the first thing I thought of when I read your thread title was the movie "Dune". Do I have a fellow sci-fi buff here???

    OSB for chicken coop walls?????

    We did the same as farmer-lew...caulked all seams and used "Kilz Siding, Fence, & Barn Paint" (outside only). We've had it up for about a year now and there are no signs of moisture damage so far.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    8/15. I don't know why I get discouraged if I don't get more...I've collected 133 eggs this month (average 9+ per day), which is FAR more than we need.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Quote: Ha HA!!! Found it! 20 eggs inside an old plastic waste basket under my back porch. As before, I candled/floated and all were clear and sank like a rock, but I'll crack into a bowl just to be sure. So with the 11/15 layed today, that makes 31.

    Chickens won't eat scraps

    Quote: When I try to give then scraps, I'll cut up/pinch up whatever it is (greens, fruit, cooked beans/peas, bread, etc) and toss a handful amongst them. They'll run right over and grab it up...and then spit it right back out. Then they give me "the look" as if I'd just tried to poison them...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    6/15 today, but in their defense we were plowing right next to the coop most of the day...and they were NOT happy about it!

    Hens dont roost

    We built a ladder-type roost for our coop that's hinged onto the wall at the top so we can life it out of the way when needed. It took my flock about two weeks before they all started roosting.

    Chickens won't eat scraps

    When I was growing up, in addition to feed our chickens ate table scraps, stale bread, and most vegetable/fruit trimmings (pretty much anything that hit the ground), but MY chickens won't touch anything except layer, cracked corn, grains, and what they scratch up in the woods. What's up with...

    11/15 today...looks like busting up the hidden nest sent at least some of them inside the coop (at least for now...).

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    8/15 layed today, plus DH found a hidden nest of 16 behind my pampas grass. I used a high intensity flashlight to candle the eggs and they appeared clear. I also floated them and they all sank like a rock. I'm still going to crack them into a bowl as I use them though...a bad experience with a...

    The golf ball trick worked!

    I cleaned out the coop yesterday, changed the nest material from shavings to wheat straw, and put 2 golf balls in each nest. This morning I found they had layed in the nests rather than the corners of the coop (although one hen "was" setting in the corner at the time).
