I have 6 hens and four of them love me, they play with me, want to be held, and eat out of my hands. But I have two that run when I'm near, don't want to interact with me like the other hens, won't eat treats from me and don't want me to touch them. They are Gertrude ( black manorca), and Kaycee...
I have found a great new treat for my hens!! It's spaghetti squash, my hens love it. You just shred it up (it makes a ton) and I give it to them as a special treat. :D :cd
My hens refuse to lay in their egg box, I have tried egg curtains but they want to make their nests in their coop floor. When I go to get the eggs they have poop all on them!!!
Please send tips, thanks.
I think I have a broody hen, Kaycee. She has been sitting on the eggs when I go out to collect them, but when I collect them she puffs up her feathers and clucks loudly ( never pecks). When I take the eggs she goes and plays in the yard with my other five but she hasn't laid an egg for the past...
