    Still Laying :)

    So happy, my six little girls, are still laying pretty consistently, 2-5 eggs each day. And usually 5 everyother day... so proud of them since it gets dark at noon!! (well ~ not quite)

    Chicken run smelly and moldy when wet...HELP keep food off the ground!

    I have almost the same setup as you, differs very little. I clean the food up regularly that is left over, I also bought a "hog pan" at the farm store that has deeper sides and that has helped a little bit, they still are food flingers!! I have sprinkled Stall Dri out after it rains, I also...

    That's not a chicken on the fence, it's a hawk!!

    Today we let our chickens visit the garden for the first time, while the kids and I picked pumpkins before frost this weekend. On the way to the garden, I noticed a large bird, hawk like, flying overhead. We let the girls out for more than an hour. I was catching chickens, and my 9 year old...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    2 / 6 My combs have gotten brighter. Not sure how many are laying. We went for a week / half of 1 every other day, to one every day for a few days, and the last 4/5 days we have gotten two everyday. Not sure if there are 3 laying or only two... patience hard to come by...

    Nest Boxes

    My Buff orpington is naughty and lays her eggs in front of the nest box... I put her in the box, she jumps out. The other one/ones I have laying have consistently used the boxes. I have 3 boxes for my 6 and they eggs have been in all three, normally only in one. No need for too many choices!!

    Does this allow for pet chickens?

    Quote: around here that means the Residential areas... probably different in other places. I think ours is R6 however, we do not have 6 acres... no such thing as consistency!!!

    Finished Coop... and its full of ants!

    Mine is covered in ear wigs. If the earwigs come out during the day the chickens eat them. I did sprinkle with Stall Dri, hoping the DE will help reduce the little bugs, as I don't have straight DE to spread around. Last night when I went to shut the door, I didn't notice earwigs, although it...

    Trying to get adjusted!! Moved nesting boxes.

    I have 6 pullets that I have had for 1 month. 4 were born in Feb & 2 were born in March, I am just starting to get 2 eggs per day, up from one every other day, then, one each day. One of my buff orpington's likes to lay her eggs under the poo board, so we decided to move the nest boxes under...

    Does this allow for pet chickens?

    Maybe I am not reading something right. Permitted 100 ft. from property line. As long as the area you keep your chickens is more than 100 ft. from each of your property lines you should be ok?? I thought permitted meant allowed.

    Fences making good neighbors rant.

    We just put up about 80 foot of privacy fence and didn't ask our neighbor for anything, we too had a ratty type short chain link up between our yards, that we tore out. We didn't even bother telling the neighbor, as it was ours on our property. Don't know about state laws and such, but we...

    Rats

    So, I'm thinking they are eating the eggs, not so much, that the rats are out while you go to the coop.

    how can i keep my chickens from roosting/pooping in there nestin boxes

    Can you post a picture of your setup? Having a sloped lid helps a ton, as long as it is against a flat surface. Make sure your roosts are higher than your nesting boxes. Also, I had to train my pullets to be on the roost. The first few nights I had them on the feed box, which has a slanted...

    Squatting!

    Sure am glad I read this, I am new to this... I have 2 SLW and they have not laid, my other four have. I got them from an acreage semi/country with a flock of 60+ birds and they weren't sure who was laying and who was not. I am sure I have one BO laying, both my Australorps, neither of the...
