Daily tasks
Each morning I let my hens out as soon as possible.
This exposes them to as much daylight and helps keep egg production up. I'll briefly look over them as they burst out of the coop and they should generally look bright eyed, tail up and begin strutting around or scratching away searching for food.
Daily checklist:
- Feed your hens
- Provide a fresh supply of water
- Collect the eggs

Top Tip
Boiled eggs
When selecting eggs to hard boil, choose eggs which are over 3 days old to avoid the egg white clinging too much to the membrane (which can make peeling more tricky).
