I have a flock of 17 and my hens do the same. I have many breeds but it seems the sexlinks and Americana do it more than the other breeds. They will have freshly refilled waterers four in total and they will still follow the dog and wait it. They barely let it hit the ground.

Ball pythons will get past their biting...
Once again BYC answered another question in the posts. I found these little weevils in my bag of cracked corn and had no clue what they were. A quick search and all my questions are answered. Ty everyone.
