It was odd. All 4 were walking around and acting like chickens should, all 4 layed an egg today, all before noon.
Tonight around 7 I went out to change water and all were fine then all of a sudden one just kind of stopped moving around and her tail is up and her butt is pulsing.
How...
So far we have had all great looking eggs from our chickens ( 20 weeks - just started laying recently). Went out this morning and this was in the nest..... it's brown with white spots.
I understand if you don't wash the egg you can keep it out but if you wash it put it in the fridge, right?
Why would you keep them out?? Out of curiosity I never heard of eggs being kept out before.
Can you tell I am a 1st timer??
We have 4 RSL's. Now 3 out of the 4 are laying which is great, they are about 20-21 weeks or so. They lay every day. Even as new layers. It's been over a week now and the first one who layed has been laying every single day. The second one started laying a few days later and still...

Even with a water spritzer and some shade not sure this temperature is going to be ok!
Has anyone ever brought their chickens inside??
Arizona chicken owners???? What do you do??
we are going to be well into the 100's. We have a spritzer system going for when its in the 90's but will that keep them cool enough in the 100's???? I did the ice water thing where we freeze bottles of water but they seemed oblivious to them when I put the bottles out there. I don't...
Thanks for this thread. My poor chickens are sweltering. It's 96 here and they were all in their coop where it has to be over 100. I have a mister going out in the run, frozen water bottles and watermelon they are not fond of and there they are in the coop?? I tossed their fuzzy butts...
