I have definitely been looking around. I found a few eggs on the floor of the coop yesterday before moving Juliette to her "apartment". Thankfully, all eggs in the larger coop were intact yesterday after the move and nothing seemed weird in there. My husband and I are keeping an eye out in...
Since we moved her to her "apartment" in the coop, we seem to be getting eggs again in the larger coop. My husband found and egg in the apartment yesterday intact. While I am at the office, he is tasked with checking the coop every few hours to see what's going on in there.

I bought this booder for my chicks. I leave the ceiling lamp on above their brooding area about 15 hours a day. They are doing great. This brooder is working much better for us than the red heat lamp. I had a lot of trouble keeping that area regulated with our AC running. The brooding plate is...
