    Do not have only ONE nest box!

    Yes I understand. I could see some new people taking it as fact.

    Do not have only ONE nest box!

    I was making a joke by the way, in no way would I ever have more than 5 nesting boxes.

    Which Breed of Hen? Thank you in advance!

    She looks kind of like a bielefelder (But not the exact right color - almost diluted) Probably a barnyard mix

    Do not have only ONE nest box!

    Do not just have one nesting box, even if you only have 2 or 3 chickens. At least one will go broody, take the nesting box and scream at all the other chickens for daring to come in the coop and scare them into laying eggs in the run. I have a coop w/ 3 nesting box and when THAT one OEGB hen...

    Design

    My AC is in the chicken yard and it is fine. They like to go behind it but I've never seen any go on it, they have tried and then end up slipping and squak about it. I have had rats go under the AC however (until they were given birth control + and caught)

    Bantam chicks straight run - any guesses?

    - Looks like the black w/orange neck markings is a brown red ogeb type bird - The self blue seems to be a ogeb, or some mix of one - The BBR (Black-breasted red, the one with the white lines on the feathers on its back called shafting) seems to be another OEGB - And looks like the orange chicks...

    Looking for a coop I can order

    I am currently looking for a new coop+run for my show bantams, and right now I have the smaller producers pride coop. It sucks, to say the least. The hardware cloth is coming off, the door broke and it is now zip tied together. What would you say are some quality coops for under $1100...

    Weirdest Things Your Chickens Have Done

    My EE named Maxi. When she first started to lay she was a crackhead. She would start scratching the floor (not the shavings, of which there was a thick layer of) and freak the other chickens out, and give my dog a panic attack. She proceeded to lay 4 eggs in 2 days. Nowadays, she tries to fly up...
