Question was: On average, out 12 eggs layed how many are roosters? His answer was 2. Does anyone know what the actual answer is?
Apparently it was a very busy day at work. Lol!
Thanks
Great idea about the litter box! But what do you mean by a flake or two of hay or straw? Also, how long did it take them to figure out how to use the box? Thanks!
For those that change bedding not very often, what do you do then to fight off mites/lice? I have a basic coop right now with just wood floor and have been trying to figure out a good and easy floor to clean and install but since we were hit with mites before its always on my mind. Would you...

Farmer swore this was going to be a hen but I guess we can all be wrong sometimes! BIG surprise last week when he heard "her" wake up the neighborhood. Not sure if we can keep him or not so I was wondering what he was first. He is SOOOOO sweet and would hate to get rid of him :(
I was just about to post the same question! I have 8 hens that range in age from 8 months to 3 years. They were laying so many eggs that I was giving them away up until about July. Then all of a sudden production has been completely shut down. Not even 1 egg and I've looked everywhere! I'm...
