    Anyone have chickens in Weddington, NC?

    We are looking at houses in Weddington and Wesley Chapel and even Matthews in Union County. I live in Charlotte now and have chickens, but can't seem to find any info about having chickens in Weddington.

    Why won't they use the nest box and how can we get them started?

    My easter egger refuses to lay in the nesting box even with a golf ball there. She insists on laying on the floor of the coop under the hanging food container.

    EE Chickens 24 weeks Old no eggs.

    Thank you so much for both your posts. You have put my stressed out mind to ease. I guess the silver lining is that they may lay soon which would be AWESOME.

    Our very first coop & run! Let me know what you think :)

    Wow, that is great. So jealous how much room the chickens have in yours. I have a coop and a separate mobile run I have to put them in each day and move around the yard. You did a great job!

    Thanks for all the help! I will try the milk jug on top of the feeder and also see if it will work on our plastic gallon waterer. Glad to know my hen is not the only naughty one!

    Roosting on top of food and water containers. help!

    One of my chickens loves to roost on top of both the food and the water container. There are two roosts in their coop so not sure why she insists on sitting on top of the waterer and pooping in the water. I am having to change the water multiple times a day. I have put in a rabbit waterer and...

    No Chickens in Charlotte, NC

    Hi CJM Charlotte, I live near the arboretum in S.E. Charlotte and I have four 2.5 week old Ameraucana chickens in a coop in my backyard. I had a local Matthews man build the coop for me.
