    About to start laying?

    It's true - there are worse things. Ah, that's a great idea, thank you! I will try getting on a treat routine so they know what to expect and calm down the rest of the day. Gratitude!

    About to start laying?

    HAhahaaha. Does this mean I'm a helicopter chicken mom!?! What life lessons one learns from chickens! Thanks for the response. That would make sense. I'll dial back my presence, and maybe hang with them without treats until they get bored of me. Thanks again.

    One eye closed and one opened

    Hi! I have a 11 week old chicken who has one eye closed suddenly (and is also lethargic). I took her to the vet and everything checked out as fine. She perked up and opened the eye again after electrolytes and was fine a few days. Now it's closed again and lethargy back. Did you ever find a...
