Still here but lost half my girls, so sad. All for different reasons. The remaining girls are doing well. I regularly stalk your posts and still love to learn something new. :)

Sorry was not able to get one yesterday. I'll try again today.

Hi again! Just need some reassurance from you. Lol I noticed a few weeks ago one of my hens had a slight split in her top beak. I saw no blood, have no idea how it happened and she seems fine. She eats, drinks, and lays regularly. I searched on here and decided that she should be fine and it...

I thought mine was large but I've been beat. Lol

WOW! You had me beat on size for sure, in both directions. Lol mine was a double yoke.

Thanks for the help/input. I am new to this so a bit of a worry wart. Lol

Thank you.

Thank you!

So my 18 week ladies just started laying about a week ago and they were very small but uniform across all 6 of them. I could see them getting a bit bigger each time until today. Look at the size! The one on the left is "normal" (for them) and I put a cherry in the middle for size reference. I am...

2x3 I am going to keep trying. I like the headlamp option. I was hold a small flashlight in my mouth. Lol

Yes. I have tried all different times. As soon as they go in for the night, and after they are all settled down in their spot. I let them go in the coop on their own before I go in to close the coop door out to the run. Funny part is they will go up on roost during the day. I have had poop...

Yes I have put them up each night but they won't stay. I can get 2 up there but turn to get a third and 1 comes down. They make it very known they are not happy with me either. Lol I have such a nice set up for the sleeping poop too. It is very discouraging. I have to clean their sleeping spot...

There is a stump on the far side but maybe I'll try some roosts outside too

I purchased all flock food and will mix with remaining starter food till starter food is gone. I also have OS out for them. I cannot take credit for the coop and run design. I was blessed that prior owner built and left for me. :) we installed roost and nesting boxes plus fishing line across top...

Good morning! Happy to report I have 2 more perfect little eggs today and both were in nesting boxes. The golf balls must have worked. Lol I will try to post some pics of my coop and run later today. Have to make a trip to store for OS!

Thank you!

I have six ladies of unknown breed that are about 16-17 weeks. I was told they were 1 week old when I purchased Feb 28 from tractor supply. I noticed a couple squatting when I would come near them a few days ago. After searching here, I realized they may be getting ready to lay. I had not put up...

Hi! First time chicken owner and new poster but have been following BYC. I recently moved to 25 acres so I was finally able to get my first chickens! I have 6 hens that are about 16 or 17 weeks but I am not sure of the breed. Does not matter to me the breed, just happy to have them! Lol
