    Since we had to re-home our rooster (apparently he's happy as a clam & they are going to breed him) our hen has been very noisy. I am wondering if she is lonely? I am getting an orp from tnchicken in a few wks but if anybody close to Knox has a laying hen that needs a new home let me know!

The reason I am curious is bc I heard some noises that sounded an awful lot like crowing coming from the run this morning :rolleyes: but...
