Thank u

I'm needing some advice, I am down to 1 hen out of my original 3 as of last nite due to what I think r cat predators. I have a small prefab coop with a 8 foot attached run but my girls, who started out 3 summers ago, have always had free range for the majority of the day. I lost my 1st girl last...

Thanks, put things in perspective for me, I lost my 2nd girl tonite & am down to 1 with emotions running high! A brand newbie country girl 1st "flock" it seems so personal, ur post is a reality check that is welcome

How would this apply to acclimating 2 full grown hens?

How did it go with ur hen?

How long would you quarantine the new one & how could they get acclimated that way?

This article has easy explaining of molting & great tips on helping our girls through the process! Thank u, I am going to implement many of ur tips!

Thank u so much for the info this is my 1st time having chickens so I have never heard of molting, but they have been losing alot of feathers now that u brought it to my attention!

Yes, they turned 2 in August

Any reason why my girls would suddenly stop laying? I'm getting about 2 eggs a week!
