I was wondering if this is normal. I got a barred rock pullet at 3 months from a chicken swap, it was in Sept and very cold and wet outside so I didn't put her out with my bantys right away and I kept her in the house for a few weeks, then had her in a cage inside the coop/run and brought her inside the house at night, then eventually she blended into the rest of the flock but I still bring her into the house at night. In the beginning she would be very involved in feeding time with my dogs and cats and she also got a little bit of cat food, begged from me for pasta at dinner sat on the couch, flew to the top of the fridge and fought with me when I finally would put her to bed. Now when she comes in she barely waits in the kitchen before she puts herself into her cage and scratches around for a bit then puts herself to bed. At first I thought she was sick but she still peeps, eats well, poos look fine but just doesn't want to be social anymore. She has laid 1 egg in the house (but I don't know about when she is out all day). Is she just growing up? Do you think she would prefer to stay out with the rest ? I guess she is about 7 months now. I was having a lot of fun having an indoor chicken but she has become antisocial now.
