Our first flock of hens (half Rhode Island Red, half Easter Eggers) are now 21 weeks old. They are so big and healthy and happy!
They have a very nice sized coop with 4 large boxes for laying eggs.
They free range all day on our ranch.
We’ve yet to have any eggs and I’m wondering if I’m letting them out too early and they’re laying their eggs somewhere that I don’t see them.
I typically let them out first thing in the morning- within an hour of sunrise.
I have to shoo them into the coop when it gets close to sunset.
Looking for any suggestions. Thanks!
