When I've introduced new teens to the oh flock I separated a space in the run just for the newbies. At night I put them all in the coop to roost (small roost for the teen lower to the floor). At night they wont bother them much since they will all be sleeping. It will keep the new ones used to...
I have several hens but one is not laying! My youngest group is 6 months. They have all been laying about 3 or 4 weeks bow, but one buff orp is not laying. (Her buff orp sister is) she is my noisiest girl too. Any ideas? All are healthy, eating right, etc.

I'm starting a new thread on this chick, as I was confirming gender..all say pullett, but someone referred to her as a leghorn. We bought her at 2 days old as a bb old english. I never looked up a leghorn before and some do look similar to the oe. Can anyone tell me for certain what breed, I'm...
