Definitely alot easier to clean. And you can add sections to make more space. I always feel guilty that mine don't have enough space.

How many do you have?
I have 4 girls and 1 boy I did have 6 girls but a cat killed 2 before I added avairy mesh around the run and door

I only have 5 girls left. I had 24 last year. I had a bit of a hatchoff! Most ended up being males so I had to sell them. I might get some more later this year but I want a better run for them.

Hi guys, One of my lovely ladies laid a MASSIVE egg today!! Poor girl!! is something normal or just because she's only just started laying? Thanks

When they start laying eggs can be a bit random in size normally smaller though. I wouldn't worry too much it might be your first double yolker.

I'm gutted. Today I Phoned Retford Poultry partnership as I needed a examination on a hen and a poop sample doing for another. They have closed! Must have been this week as I only spoke to them last week and they didn't day anything. Turns out the other clinics they have are in York and Nottingham. Not much good. So I've spent all day trying to find a vet that treats hens. Loads of vets but none that examine hens. No where local. I can get fecal samples done by post so that's not a problem but if I need an examination or meds I'm a bit stuffed at the minute. I guess I've been lucky having them being so close but now I can't find anywhere local. I don't think I'm the only one in this situation. Does any body know any where in the dn22 region? Much thanks

Goodness that is a shame for you that they have closed

Do you get practical poultry magazine? They have a page in there most months with a list of poultry friendly vets.
