How old are they? It is pretty normal. Our chickens will go in their covered pen to get out of the rain. If this is their first year experiencing snow they may be afraid.:oops:
They mostly hang out in the run which isn’t the pen. We are thinking of in enlarging the pen and coop. The run is about 70 by 30 feet. We are using just a layer pellet. Going to buy some crushed oyster shells tomorrow.
They are 36 weeks old. The run is very large. The coop is about 4 by 6 feet. The pen is around 6 by 6 feet. They mostly hang out in the run. Thanks for the advice!
We have 6 hens the run. The pecking order is in full swing and I believe that one of our chickens are on the bottom. She doesn’t eat much because of this, and she is do thin it is starting to scare me. She is also losing a lot of feathers. I know that they are not molting though. I am not sure...
