    Frustrating Hen Problem

    I have 3 hens: Barnvelder, Buff Orpington, and Easter eager. They are 2 years old and have been together from week old. All 3 are molting. The Barnvelder has gotten very ugly toward the Buff. She will go into the coop at dusk and will let the EE in but not the Buff. Buff ends up roosting on...

    Frustrated

    Behavior

    i have 3 hens but one will empty the nest box of all the bedding as soon as I clean it and put in fresh. They are 61/2 mos and are not laying yet. Combs and face areas bright red. Could this be a pre-laying behavior.

    Hot summer and egg laying

    i received 3 chicks in May at 4 weeks old. I live in Denton, Texas and we had many 100+ days during the summer. My girls (Barnvelder, Orpington, and Easter Egger) are 6 mos old now and no eggs. Wondering if the excessive heat could slow their start of laying. I kep a fan on them and provided...
