Today we’re taking a look at laying eggs, as part of our A Year With Chickens Series. We dedicate one episode per month to this series, covering what to expect when raising a chicken in that particular month. For the month of August, we're taking a look at how to prepare for when your flock begins laying eggs. We’ll discuss everything from how to tell your chicken is going to begin laying, to how to collect, clean, and store eggs. After making it through the brooding phase and coop integration, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Are you egg-cited?
