I have a hen who all of sudden has started to sit down when ever she is out in the play area as well as when she is outside of the coop/play area. I had two other hens who did this and with in about3 weeks of starting this sitting they were found dead in the coop. The last time this happened...
1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I got my first chicken in the late 1970's. After I moved from my parents home it was almost 10 years before I was able to have chickens again. I have now had them for about the last 20 years.
(2) How many chickens do you have right...
