    Feed Suggestions

    I am unable to confine them bc they fly up in my barn rafters. They stopped using a coop a year ago. They are white leghorns and fly well. I gave up trying to confine them. Thank you for the suggestion though!

    Thank you for your response! They are acting normal and don't look sickly. One of my hens just had a visit to the vet and she had no parasites. I think you're correct in that it's just their breed. I've tried a mash and they are not interested :/ Thanks for the reassurance ;)

    Missing Hen

    Thank you for your response. They have a nice, large coop but they only lay their eggs in there. They have preferred to sleep up on the walls of the barn. I guess I am going to have to make them now!

    Missing Hen
