    Need some advice on "pecking order"

    Three or maybe just one of the three Copper Marans I have pretty much put a hit out on the fourth. She was down and out but I saved her. It took 4 weeks but I wouldn't let her die! I found another home for her and she's happy. But, I'm getting four new chicks and am praying that if I do this...

    Will my chickens ever lay?

    I also got three ladies last May. Two weeks ago one started laying pretty much an egg a day. The other two have not. Six to seven months seems to be the time frame.

    lethargy
