    My first eggs!!!

    My son has been feeding my girls. He has autism and really enjoys feeding them. I thought he had been checking but hadn’t. So I go out in the pen and all in one laying box I see 10 eggs.

    Wont eat corn?!

    I feed Starter finisher and I mix in a little corn or cracked corn and they leave the corn. Only way I can get them to eat it is to not feed them until eat it. What do I do?

    Mean rooster or normal?

    I have two roos. One is a blue Orpington and the other is a EE. The BO is a sweetheart and the EE is a cocky little fart. He soars with the hens and generally obnoxious to them. I haven’t seen him mount them often he is kinda smaller so the larger hens will peck him and send him on his way. I...
