    Why would hen suddenly stopped laying in the nest boxes?

    How often do you change or clean the boxes;; We have seen some of ours will not lay in a box, if there is a mess from another broken egg; as soon as we change the cardboard, and hay, they go right back to laying in the box.

    A quick question, please

    thanks everyone for the replies; Amy; I read your link;; I think I will just let nature take it's course; I will take the light out tomorrow, don't want to wait several weeks to see any increase in egg production; We still get more than we can eat now; We will let the hens get some rest from laying.

    Baby ducks and chicks TOGETHER?

    yes; I've done it two years in a row; They can eat the same food, and the ducks will grow much faster than the chicks, and will be bigger than they are in a couple of weeks. Good luck

    What do you do if one of your beloved chicks turns out to be a rooster

    We ended up with three roos out of 12 last year.. And you're right; one roo was my wife's favorite. We gave all 3 to a neighbor that has about 50 chicks, and we go visit with them all the time.. It was so hard to give them away, but we did not want the trouble of havings roos..

    How long do chicks need to be under lights?

    We may be an exception, but I believe it depends on the temperatures .. Last year, we got 12 chicks and we kept them under lights in the house for just a few days, then they went outside, and they were free to roam around all day, at night they were in a hutch in the garage, and lights were on...
