Also would like to know how many years can you expect to get eggs from the hens??

Would like to share my photos of chicken coop and run but forgot how to do this.

I love how I can find any answers here on this site! I will try this mustard idea on my older hens who are doing this.

Thanks so much for your article, I am now at the point of finishing my coop run and have 2 different ages of chicks. This gives me some ideas ahead of time to introduce them.
