    Thank you for the great info. I just have one question...why no citrus? I have giving my hens oranges and not ever had a problem. I'd like to know the reasoning behind the no so I don't accidently make my girls sick.

    Bullying Among The Hens

    I can't believe I didn't respond to the questions regarding my bully hens. So here's an update some 4 months later. I just left the situation alone. And the hens all do their own thing now. Some stay out in the yard late into the night and some go in at dusk. They are just weird birds. I...
