    Hen was a good layer and suddenly stopped?

    Definitely no secret nest. She has one box that she lays in only and there are not many places she can hide a secret. She was an early layer - 16 weeks.

    Hen bullying?

    Hey y'all. So I have 3 chickens, they're all the same age, 10 months old, and this is their first winter. One of the girlies has been acting scared of the other ones and just skittish in general, when she used to be layed back and calm. She's missing a noticeable amount of hackle feathers on...

    Automatic coop door, yay or nay?

    What do you mean? Become complacent how? Is there a certain reason you are against them, or just personal preference?

    Automatic coop door, yay or nay?

    Exactly what I was thinking! What kind did you get, and was it easy to install? Does it run off of electricity or batteries? And also, when it opens and closes, does it scare your chickens, or have any ever been locked out?
