    Thanks for replying I did some reading on this site and decided I would keep her in a separate but visible yard after about a week they started getting closer and closer to the fence and after a couple more weeks the older hens were occasionally flying over to visit so I through the 3 of them...

    Hi, I just got 3 pullets in Sept and one got hurt, then got sick and died. It has been several weeks now and the other two are fine. I really want to get that third one back. What do you think if I go to the same farm I got these girls from and got an older pullet. Still 30 days of separation? I...

    Hey, I just lost my Jenny, still have Henny & Penny but looking to get a jenny II. My hens seem pretty docile but worried about the age of introducing a new pullet. Ant ideas?

    Goes to nest box then drops outside

    I have a young Sussex hen that goes to the box and sits, then comes out of the house and about 5 or more feet out she drops the egg. A lot of times it has some fresh poop on it? I saw her do it once and she was walking then just squatted briefly, dropped it, and carried on. Like she thought...
