Wondering if size of coop has anything to do with when hens lay. I have 3 Ameracaunas, only 1 laying, but don't know which 1. They were bought same time & place, so I think they are all same age. Coop I have has 2 next boxes, egg always laid in same one, other nest box is used as "litter" box...
I have pullets that are about 16 weeks & have had them for about 3 weeks. Everytime I come near pen, they run behind coop screeching like they know I will put them in a pot of hot water while still alive. YIKES. The last time I had chickens they would run to meet me in case I had food...
