These are the built in ones. I have nesting pads on the bottom ones with golf balls right now (removed the pads on top after i took this picture). They have been in them and poop on the pads but none will lay in them. A couple stand on the wood bars infront of the boxes. I thought about putting...
First pic is the best I can get of the nesting boxes which have roost to stand on in front of them. The 2nd is roosting bar showing where eggs are found behind it in the hole. 3rd is the roosting bar from doorway when first got the coop into the location we placed it. I'm wanting to build a...
She was my only one laying she started laying on Aug 5th (had got them all as pullets that were 16-18 weeks when got them on July 20th) up until today when my starlight green egger layed her first egg and did the egg song. My other pullet close to laying is a half Ameraucana/half cochin and...
All of hers have been hard shelled but I tiny compared to store bought or even the eggs we had been getting from a Mennonite chicken farmer. We have only cracked 3 of her eggs and they were some of her first ones. Most days she only has one but we've had days since started laying Aug 5th...
I was outside doing some of my animal chores (had just been in the coop/run looking for eggs 5 minutea before) and started hearing bauck back bauckkkkkk over and over so went back and the starlight green egger who had been laying in the bedding in the coop looking like could be sitting on an egg...
I have some fabric lying around I will measure and make some for a couple and see if that helps. We have been placing her in it at night but she just quickly gets out.
I currently have 5 close to pullets/laying hens but only 2 have for sure names. We have a black australorp named Ursula (when first got she would always come up when opening the gate and peck us or when in the pen would peck us so gave her a villian name lol, a half ameraucana half cochin named...
My coop came from a family friend so came with built in (nesting boxes that screw into a wall that can't be accessed from outside) there are 6 of them and have a roof (so it looks like kind of like a barbie house) and is up off the floor like 24" give or take. My hens (the one that is laying and...
I've come across pictures of a pearl onyx which to me looks exactly like a zombie. I'm wondering if they are the same breed just recognized by different names depending on breeders or if they are different breeds? If different how do you tell them apart?
I wanted Disney princess names but my black australorp is a meany to us (tries to peck us any chance she gets) so is Ursula. The easter egger we have was Ariel but turned out to be a rooster so is now jafar. We call the starlight star (cus can't pick a name for her (Ariel doesn't seem fitting)...
These are all the eggs that have been layed (still not sure which one of the 3) Saturday we had 2 layed and yesterday one was lyaed but broken before we got it. We had one today so I'm thinking the one laying might be getting to the point of laying daily instead of every other day. They are all...
I have a half Americana half cochin hen and am wondering possibly what colored eggs she could lay and when she could start laying? She's 18 weeks old and google says 6-7 months for the ameircana and 8 months for the cochin. Pic of her... Aurora. I'm just curious cus one of my 3 hens (not sure if...
This is what is currently covering the vents under the roof of our chicken coop. Is it hardware cloth or window screen? This coop is like 10yrs old but I. Really good condition (made by an ffa student). I feel like it's not but not sure. It feels thicker then window screen. These are best photos...
That makes me feel better. Though I now still have to rehome my daughters hen turn roo. And I still want to message the previous owner but won't cus it won't do nothing
Not best pic but just figured out i was misinformed and ended up with a rooster so now I'm making sure the others are hens. The red one in pic 2 is the same one in pic 3 but I can't get any better pictures.
