I have 12 hens but one is always in the nest trying to hatch an egg. I feel bad for her. She is always there when I go down to the coop. Is she trying to have a baby, lonely, anti-social, or what???? She seems healthy. Strange behavior indeed. Thanks for the help. -Brian.
I have 1/2 a bag of layer mash from last year. It was kept open in my shed over the winter. It smells like sour milk. Do you think it's ok to feed the chickens? Is this smell normal? Thanks.
