How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

SEND SOME OF YOUR BROODY HENS MY WAY,I'M WANTING TO SET ONE OF THESE HENS BUT NONE EVER GO BROODY BUT THERE ALL JUST ALITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD.MY ROOSTER IS BEAUTIFUL AND SO KIND ,A VERY PROUD GUY ALWAYS WATCHING OVER THEM ,WATCHING FOR CHICKEN HAWKS
I had 5 hens/pullets sitting at once a couple weeks ago. Chicks & keets hatching left & right, plus me with my incubators too!
 
Waterfowl coops ought to be designed so you can herd them into a dead-end where there is no option but to go in the door. Every night I lean a piece of siding against the sliding door opening (closed to where there's only room for the duck/goose to go in. And the other end against the fence parallel to the door--so they're kind of running up against this temporary "wall". They can go in or try to get past me. They're terrified of me 🤷‍♀️, so they go in.

They're temporarily using a tool shed that the chickens (who are very good about going in) used to use. When I build for them, I am for sure gonna consider ease of herding!
I probably should move the coop back a couple feet in the pen So they can’t just run in circles. The reason I left it that way is to give them another place to hide if a hawk or owl is passing over
 
TELL ME WHAT YOUR SECRET IS,WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THEM MUST BE IN THE FEED MY HENS ARE FREE RANGE , HAVE 3/4 ACRE OF GRASS TO ROAM ON I HAVE 14 HENS AND THE ROOSTER, THERE JUST MY PETS REALLY DON'T CARE HOW MANY EGGS I GET,CAUSE I GIVE THEM ALL AWAY,EXCEPT THE ONES I EAT.I DID KEEP TO POLISH HENS ,THEY LAY AGOOD SIZE EGG LOTS BIGGER THAN THE COCHINS DO BUT THERE A LITTLE STUPID ,BUT FUNNY THE WHITE WITH A BLACK HEAD AND NECK LOVES TO BE HELD, BUT SHE DOES THE DUMBEST THINGS ,I HAVE TO PICK HER UP EVERY NOTE AND PUT HER IN THE COOP SHE ROOST OUT SIDE ,BUT I LIKE ALL MY CHICKENS LOCKED UP SAFE AT NITE
