Hi everyone. I am pretty new to keeping chickens. My wife and i have five red sex link hens. We have had them for over a year and a half. all still laying one a day. we have a large coop for our birds. 9 x 7 inside, with sand on the floor. no problems as of yet. we live in northern ontario canada. We just got two new silkies around 4-5 months old. I have an issue with them at the moment that i will post in the appropriate section. Thanks
