they reside in a 30 foot X 10 foot outdoor run connected to a lighted by 6 solar pen lights mansion inside a barn
with two entrances one is a balcony entrance;
they have a 5 rung ladder for roosting 30 inch wide x 60 inch set at about a 45 degree angle
twin 5 gal water buckets with chicken nipples one inside one outside
a 5 gal feeder
4 hole laying box
2 perches in side and 2 outside
a house box fan on a timer that comes on at about 11am-8pm to keep them cool during the hot days

i avgerage about 3-4 eggs a day
the flock is somewhat new to the runs....less then a month i would say this week is a month actually




Thanks! for your time and happy egg hunting

I'm a newbie, so I really don't know much of anything. I have 3 Production Reds that I got about a month ago, and I have been consistently getting 2 eggs a day for the past week. They have a small henhouse, a tractor that I move around the yard in the shade, and about twice a day they free range our fenced back yard for a couple of hours.
