Update: We integrated Pearl into our flock and she made herself at home. The crowing did not stop and she continued laying eggs. After another 2 weeks we ended up returning Pearl to her original homestead. The rooster who was mating her too much is no longer with us (RIP), so Pearl now rules...
Oh my gosh that's so sad! She sounds very in tune with her emotions. We're hoping Pearl settles down more this week. We are trying to be patient as she has had a lot of new adjustments this past month.
Thanks all!
Hi there @aart thanks for the reply!
Here's a closer pic:
Are you positive she's a she?
We are 100% sure she is a female Lavender Orpington. We adopted her from our friend who raises chickens. Pearl came to live with us because she was the rooster's favorite and he was breeding her 10x a day...
Hey all,
New chicken owner here. Currently have four 5 month old pullets. We've had to rehome 2 roosters as we live in a No-Rooster Zone and recently adopted an egg laying hen since we had the extra space.
Since our new hen Pearl was joining us from another farm, we quarantined her for a week...
