My Easter Egger just laid her first egg and it’s been 7 hours since she laid and she’s been making sad noises non stop and her tail is pointed down. She seems off and seems like she’s hurting. She’s walking around slowly. Is she just hurt from laying her first egg? Is it possible she’s egg...
Thank you for all the great advice! We have a couple of pallets maybe we can add those for some hiding places. We live in the middle of a neighborhood and don’t have any predator issues that I know of. I do love our chickens and hope we can make the changes so we can have peace again. I really...

Awe I can’t wait to see what color eggs we get! We are new to raising chickens. We only have four but if our HOA allowed it I would have more. They are the best and so much fun!
