Hey members,
I'm curious about when your hens lay during the day. My gals are getting close (becoming exceptionally noisy, "squatting" when I come near them, and rearranging the nesting boxes).
~Also~, do they lay better when nesting boxes are covered on top or open?
~And~ How long do you find the eggs can sit out before we need to pop them in the fridge? I know at the farm where I get them now they sit out for awhile before she washes them and puts them in the cooler.
Thanks, all!
