Does your moniker mean you have a bunch of Polish chickens? Pictures, please, if you can!

The girls chose the untidy area too have their pictures taken today

Princess is the cleanest I've ever known her to be.

Can we have an honest discussion on the definition of untidy? What I can see would be the definition of tidy for me!

Be still my heart. Is that a Brown Leghorn on the edge of the photo?

Yes, I have 6 that are 24 weeks old

I just love the color in their feathers

Quite simply, poo on eggs. As long as no one is laying eggs it's no problem.

I think I may go with multiple options for them and let them figure out which works best for them. I just need to figure how to rearrange things in the coop.

I like having a walk in coop, I know you have a different set up. But, every morning when I go out, I make sure there is no poo in any nesting boxes so the girls have a comfortable spot to lay eggs

ok, all caught up,
boy the wind is blowing this morning a bit more than yesterday,
So..... last evening after it got dark I went out to close the coop door and for all of you
"no sleeping in the nesters" hahahaha
I promptly picked up Granny Violet and put her on the back roost, then I picked up Cinnamon & Nutmeg and put them on the front roost, said good night girls and shut the door. At 5:30 am when I went out to open up the coop everyone was in their spot on the root just as I left them.
So, all was well in the coop. I did only get one egg yesterday but I think the hard wind has a lot to do with that.

Rain, rain rain. Finally!! The chooks don’t like being stuck in the coop, but there’s no option for them today. I have to go out of town today, so I will make them some steak and scrambled “children” (throw in some corn and meally worms) too!
