I have three pullets that were hatched in mid February that still aren't laying. At what age can I expect them to lay? I live here in north east florida, and I don't know if that affects anything. Anyway, when can I expect them to lay?
I have two adult chickens and 3 older pullers and two younger pullets. So I should separate them? From what I read is that out should let them figure it out
I have a 4-5 week old ameraucana that I am trying to introduce to my existing flock of eight. However, she is deathly afraid of all of the chickens, and runs up into the coop. She never comes down on her own and I have to take her down and make sure she eats and drinks. Obviously I can't do this...
First, SEPERATE THEM RIGHT NOW!! Other wise they will not last. Then, measure the length from the top of the leg to the top of the foot. Then, cut two prices of pipe cleaner at that EXACT length. Then, secure the pipecleaner to the legs of the chicks with string not to tight so it doesn't cut...
It will not harm them to throw them out of the nest. You could sacrifice a few days worth of eggs and block off the nesting box and then three days after you block them off the brooding should stop.
