    hen, nesting all the time, not laying any eggs

    Hello, We have 7 Buff Orps and one of them just sits on the nest all day & nite, we take her off in the AM and make go outside but she ends up back inside and does the same thing, No eggs and the other B.O's are pecking her once in a while ?? Any ideas, They were all raised together from 3 days...

    We live in Central MO. and winter cold is dry here so I am not too worried, because we are getting Buff Orpies in the spring so they should do fine

    Can anyone tell me what kind of HAWK this is?

    The picture is fuzzy but I think it is either a "Sharp Shinned hawk or a Swainsons hawk We have a lot of them here in MO. but mostly large Red Tailed hawks
