I have 5 great hens (1 RR, 1 Barred Rock, 2 Easter Eggers and 1 Delaware?) that need a new home.
I will be moving and I need to fix up my backyard that they free range in.
They are great layers, have been fed Peck and Scratch grain and are 2 years old. You are also welcome to their feeders...
I'm seeing rat or mice turds in my coop. However, I don't keep water or food in the coop.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how to stop them?
I have never seen my hens sleep. When they were chicks, I'd see them fall asleep all the time.
Now, I try sneaking up on them in the coop, at various times, and their eyes are always open.
Has anyone else noticed this?
This is Night Night, the Barred Rock, and Upsidedown Girl, the Easter Egger, they're both finishing a molt.
This is Whitey, I think she's a Delaware. She just started her 1st molt.
