Question, my girls comb color change a lot is that normal? It'll be beef red, go pale as can be and a few seconds later be red again, lol. I figured with your 23 yrs u wud know lol
Sooo I had complete success with the girls not going in nesting boxes after I put down the new nesting pads and laid the fake eggs in there. They hv not even pooped in em! And today I got my first egg in the nesting box!! Yayyy
Lol, I wish I could have lots more! But I can only have 5 where I live. So I can get one more lol. But yea the white wood above the boxes is a solid wood to build off of it, yes it's prob about 52inches wide. I got a 8-10 hen coop sized for double the amount of birds I have bc they don't...
Thank you! There is some solid wood pieces right above the nesting boxes on each side of the coop. So I think this will work wonderfully Thank you! Also, I only have 4 easter egger hens, they don't grow very big 4-5lbs so ill make sure it can hold at least 30lbs to be safe lol...I can also put...

So the setup sucks, as usual. I bought another one that was even worse and returned it lol. I'll snap a pic. But the roosting bars are low as heck, like 2inches above the pull out tray, it's identical in height as the nesting boxes. I cleaned out coop other day entirely as they are showing...
So the coop I purchased has 2 sets of nesting boxes on each side of coop. My easter eggers have been sleeping in the nesting boxes since I put them in the coop at 6 weeks old, and I didn't know any better to stop them from doing this. They are 18 weeks almost 19 weeks now and I don't know how to...
