We are going to try putting a curtain at the door of the coop to see if that keeps her from noticing them in there. Her behavior has improved, but we were hoping for better results. This is our first flock, she was our first chicken to lay and is a very social bird with her people. If all else...
We have a similar situation in our small flock. Our top pullet was also guarding the nest boxes from the others trying to lay. We thought maybe resetting the pecking order would solve the problem. In the past week, we separated her for 3 days in a kennel attached to a grow out coop, away from...
Is it normal for an egger to lay 2 eggs a day? Our 22 week easter egger is laying almost every day. Most of the time we are getting one good egg and one with a soft shell. Usually we find the eaten remains in the morning. I installed a poop board yesterday and finally got to see what she is...

At 17 weeks tomorrow. Been searching everyday like a 5 year old on easter morning for the past week. Have one that has been acting differently this week. Alot like one of my moody teenagers. She definitely got something up her butt, hoping it's an egg. 😀. Anybody else getting anxious for...

Checking back on the bin mates at just over 9 weeks. Dell has sprouted. She was the smallest of the group, now a good bit larger than Ginny. With her comb color would the red show if she was cockerel? She also stands upright. Not much change in Ginny, thinking she's a pullet.
