    The lowest hen on the pecking order is getting badly beaten up

    How many hens are there? It looks like plenty of room depending how many there are. Mind you, I am a novice :/

    New chickens aren't laying - help!

    That had been my intention - hence the quarantine coop and run. They have been kept apart for 10 days and I was free ranging the newbies to help them settle in and alleviate any stress. I really hope it is not an early moult brought on by stress. They have improved immensely since being here.

    New chickens aren't laying - help!

    I know that feeling, lol. One of my warrens went into the newbie nest box and laid an egg there.. trying to exert her dominance I guess. Or maybe she prefers their coop.

    New chickens aren't laying - help!

    One does the squat - the one that has been going up to the nest box and making laying sounds. I think they are going into moult.. I wasn't sure but I've just checked them and one is definitely losing feathers, lol. Thank you for your reassurance.

    I recommend adding Bach Flower remedies to their drinking water. Try Beech and/or Vine and also use Rescue Remedy. I have yet to try these to for the pecking order situation but I tried another remedy on a poorly chicken and she was like a different hen the next day. Still address the space...

    New chickens aren't laying - help!

    Hi, I am just into the 3rd week of my two new chickens being here. They have a lovely quarantine coop and run but go free range with my two original warrens most days. There is still some pecking order establishing going on and if it gets too much I keep the warrens separate from the newbies...

    chickens hardly laying

    Thanks. I was told not to give my meat. The lady who I inherited them from had spoken to DEFRA - the UK farming standards agency and she was told that by them..which didn't make much sense to me as they eat worms and bugs. I'm not sure but that may have been if they were to sell on??

    chickens hardly laying

    Thank you. I have been wondering that the past few days. What is good, cheap and organic protein for them?
