    Rooster looks ratty

    Thank you! I appreciate this info and will try it! He's in with my hens, so they will all get that, if I can find it with that high protein, otherwise I will get the highest I can.

    Rooster looks ratty

    My black copper marans rooster, 4-5 years old, is not getting over his moult, and his butt is missing feathers. What can I do to get him in better condition?

    Hen can't hold head up, can I help her?

    There is plenty of roost space. She is a newer member of the flock though and since her 1st night in the coop has gone there to sleep. I put a burlap curtain over the nest boxes, but she still sleeps there. The nest boxes are permanently attached, so maybe I need to just clean out each morning...

    Keep Hen from Sleeping in Nest Box

    How can I keep one hen from sleeping in the nest box? She's making it very dirty for egg laying.

    Hens quit laying

    I had 5 hens, all laying well. A few weeks ago, I decided to sell 2 as I had plenty of eggs, and then the Americauna quit laying. So then only 2 laying. Then my neighbor was like, oh we want the eggs! So I got 2 new young hens (not laying just yet) and now only 1 hen is laying! It's just...
