I've only got two hens (a Black Australorp and a Barred Rock) who are currently free ranging my yard. They typically do this all day long and enjoy it. They are around 10 months of age.
For the last two days, my Australorp has started circling my house cackling like she is angry. Every time I go out to make sure she's okay, she shuts up and runs to me. No matter where I am in the house, she finds me and stares at me through the window while grunting and clucking?? The only thing that seems to soothe her is me, when I'm outside. But I've got house work. I can't be out there right now. Why is she being so needy? She's never done this before. It's very out of character for her to wonder off alone and circle the house to look for me.
There is food and water so it's not like a need isn't being met.
I should add that she doesn't have access to re-enter her coop? But if that's the problem, it's never bothered her before.
