My question is, when should we open up the nest boxes and prepare them with shavings and hay? Will the hens need some...

    CAN MY HENS LAY INDOORS?

    Seems like a crazy question! I have two silkie hens (at laying age) that I just purchased. Planning to add them to my flock after keeping them indoors for a couple weeks or so. They are in a huge dog crate (Great Dane size/ the biggest dog crate they make) I have a container in it with pine...
