On By CarynIn chickens, Coop

I checked my cameras in the chicken coop and was shocked to see all five hens in the coop! The new Black Star chickens have both finally accepted the roost. They took the prime corner spot, which sent Seashell off to the nest box, but she isn’t broody, so I’m not concerned.

Photo description: inside of my coop at night, two Black Star hens on the roost at the left, two Faverolle hens on the roost at the right, and the tail feathers of the third Faverolle hen in the top right of the nest boxes at the far right, mouths open because the high was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit that day

Molting has begun, and egg laying has stopped. They are all older hens as well, so we may have seen the last of the eggs until Spring (maybe).
