1) Australorpe, almost a year old, weight is unknown But seems normal weight similar look to the 4 others in our flock
2) What is the behavior, exactly? - She is lethargic, mostly laying down. Stood to get away from a rooster trying to do his thing. I put her on a roost in the run near dinner...
I am new to this whole thing. But night after night our birds are all roosting on the one bar I put in front of their nesting box just to help them get into the nesting boxes. I have 16ft worth of roost branches in this coop. Why are they always using the one small 4ft long 2x2 rough cut lumber...
