    Yes, i agree about taking the job seriously. I just don't know where/how to keep him away from the hens without having him locked up in a cage. I just hate having naked backs!! The pen isnt too large probably 8ft by 8ft, they will be rotated out into an outside pen once the weather warms up

    I did realize the one that was reading higher was right under the heating element, so i adjusted it and am finally happy, one reading 99.5-99.9 and the other reading constantly around 100.0 or 100.1. So finicky. You can never have enough thermometers, but having more than one seems to create...

    hahah, well since they are laying so poorly right now anyways, might as well have them working to hatch out some eggies since my incubator is full... thanks for all the input.. do the usually go broody in a nest box? My icelandic's rarely lay in the nest box as it is, but if they are broody...

    My icelandics still haven't started up back laying at full production!! I get one egg out of three hens a day, but often I don't get any:( I really am hoping one goes broody! When do they typically do this, does age play into it? My hens are probably around 11 mo. or so
