    What is my hen doing?

    I now have another problem.... my rooster is trying to mount her as she is laying. Oh the joys, other than processing him... what can I possibly do. I don't have a method to separate him.

    What is my hen doing?

    Thank you everybody! She laid yesterday around 4pm and now at 6pm is exhibiting the same behavior. I appreciate all the input for sure and will create a nest. I thought I just had to lay the eggs in there.

    My sweet girl, Goldie, is a Rhode Island Red/Production Red hybrid. She has been behaving oddly for the past hour with very strange distressed sounds and the behavior in the video link below. It started at 1pm and she finally left the chicken house at 2pm. She laid her first egg yesterday. Any...
