They do go out in the snow....sorta! lol! They will only go out in it if I shovel a section/path for them so they can see the ground. Which I do, because I like when they are outside getting fresh air.

They have about 2/3 of the shed. Honestly they spend the vast majority of their time outside. They only go in to roost pretty much and there are a lot of roosting branches. There is ventilation in the coop.... there are openings where the roof meets the walls if that makes sense. I also leave...

Hi everyone! I'm sort of new...I joined this site back when I started with chickens 3 year ago and recently re joined because I couldn't remember my sign on info, lol! I have a huge mix of chickens. 7 adult hens, 1 rooster, and 15 pullets of all different breeds. We just finished a big coop...

Ok thanks. i'm going to go to the store tomorrow to pick up a 20% protein food for them. and will obviously keep their oyster shell free choice. Cant hurt to try, It's not like I'm getting any eggs now anyways! lol! I really don't think anything is harassing them, but I suppose I'm not...

Here are some more views of their set up. I don't know, I think it's pretty nice! I would like to live here if i was a chicken! lol! We also have 15 pullets that were introduced recently (but very gradually). But they weren't laying way before I introduced the pullets so I know that's not it...

Ok hopefully this works. The blue shed is their coop, the chain link fence portion is their run. They can go in and out as they please. They have access to food and water both inside AND outside 24/7.

Hmmm, having trouble loading pics!!! Or id post some of my set up.

This is one side of their pen ( those are my pullets... Not the ones im concerned about obviousy! )

Oh gosh... I suppose i could measure!! Not sure on dimensions honestly. And i just sprinkle a bit of de on top of their shavings once a week or so

Free choice. They have food and water accessible 24/7 and always have.

Oh and in terms of light... Its may in upstate ny... Should be enough daylight, right?! All my other friends hens are laying like crazy.

Ok thanks for the tips. I had them on 16% then switched to 18% when i noticed those 3 were molting. So would the 20% be considered a meat bird feed? Thats ok for (hypothetical, lol) layers? Nope, there is absolutely no where they could hide eggs. My 3 year old wont lay in the nest box but i...

The 3 year old is a gold laced wyandotte. I have 1 black copper maran and the rest (including the roo) are purebred barnevelders.

I have truly researched this topic to death and I feel like I've tried everything, but my 7 hens just aren't laying anymore and I CANNOT for the life of me figure out why. I know this question probably gets asked over and over but I'm hoping someone can help me. I have 7 hens and 1 rooster. My...
