I have 3 nests & 3 hens.she was using nests for over a year.I don’t have a fake egg, might get one. Boxes are the right size. She just lays in droppings!
I recently had a home roof installed. My 4 hens haven’t laid any eggs since! Two of my hens , Andalusian fowl ,have also started attacking the other two which are a different bread. Before the roofing job they all got along great for over a year! Any suggestions?
Thanks, I don’t have a rooster, but I have been separating her for half days. It seems to help so far !
They are all 1 year old. I started separating her for half days.
She is a one year Andalusian hen and she keeps biting my 4 Other hens. How Can I stop this behavior? I have had hens for years and ever had this problem!
I have 2 3 year old hens and want to add 3 young chicks to coop. The chicks are now about 6 weeks old . I am looking for suggestions on the best way to do this. Thanks, Jmat
Thanks. I sectioned off half of their pen and added mealworms plus a high protein food. I also made an additional separate box to sleep in and another watering can.
I have four 16 month old hens. One of them has been molting for a week and the others have started attacking it. I saw some blood today so I removed it from coop.I would appreciate any suggestions on how to handle this problem.
My hens have been laying eggs for about 5 months. Today one egg had blood on the outside of its shell. The hen that laid it seems fine.What could this indicate?
My hens have just started laying eggs . For the last two days they have been defecating in their nests. When I clean it out, they lay eggs. How can I change this behavior?
