    egg laying and stress

    egg laying and stress

    I'm culling a mean rooster next week and need to know how much stress this will put on my hens. I will have to take him of the roost because he cannot be touched without a fight, besides my hens need a break from this monster.

    Why?!...Two chicken questions that I hope someone can answer

    I'm glad you asked these questions because I kinda thought my birds where a little slow. I too would give them fresh water and they would fight to be the one to drink out of the new puddles or want to eat the food that had been rolled in the dirt a few times. They will stand in the rain, but...
