Gave me some ideas that's for sure. We suffered a coop fire this early summer and my birds are in large dog runs until we rebuild. Got roof to go and doors so fingers crossed. Anyway. The runs have become mud bogs in bad weather. I started adding pine shavings and putting pine straw or hay over...
2 today. Not bad considering I've been eggless for 4 months while my older birds molted and my younger ones grew. I'm thinking I might have a 3rd laying. Today's second egg was smaller than the last few.
