    Sick chicken - lethargic and stock still

    Hey, thanks - They are laying, she laid this morning. Her crop is full. They eat vermX layers pellets and treat wise is a mixture of cracked corn, mealworms (dried) and sunflower seed (hearts) - she had a small peck at these earlier today as she’s easily the lightest of the three by at least 1.5 k

    Does early free roaming time prevent egg laying? Questions from a new keeper

    @Perris thanks! He's unconvinced thus far but its all a negotiation and I'm playing the long game!

    Does early free roaming time prevent egg laying? Questions from a new keeper

    Thanks Shadrach, is this something that is quite obvious and takes a while or might I not notice and just realise I have a quiet/missing chicken!? They only seem to go quiet/sneaky at the moment when they're doing something naughty! Thank you Perris and hello! I just have to hope that my...

    Does early free roaming time prevent egg laying? Questions from a new keeper

    @OneHappyRooster Thanks that’s really helpful! They have about 2 acres to roam and seem intent on exploring all the parts I don’t want them in! I suppose that’s where the most interesting bits are - the lavender is taking a bit If a beating at the moment!

    Does early free roaming time prevent egg laying? Questions from a new keeper
