They have over 15 nesting boxes and she died because the door to the coop closed and she was locked in for a couple of hours on a really hot day. They get fed Layer feed and normally it kicks them back into laying but it hasn't. they've been on that for about 2 months with no result. I haven't...
Hi, I have got about 20 Hens and none of them will lay.
So about 4 months ago one of my hens died in the coop, and ever since none of them have layed. It's not that they're to old because they are only months passed when they should start laying. They have layed before.
Help how do I get them...
I have a broody hen that has had 2 chicks they are now 3-4 weeks old and starting to outgrow the pen they're in and I wanted to let them out with the rest of the flock?
hey mother was the 'boss' of the others but i understand the pecking order can change after she's been away for a while. I have...
Yes, I have been doing that the chicks have been in the walk-in pen but safely inside their own coop so they can see the others but can not touch them. I think I may just let them out and see how that goes
Thank You for the reply, they have been like this since the chicks first went outside. I have a huge walk-in pen for the flock and a smaller coop inside to the chicks to interact with the rest of the flock.
Hi recently I have bought 10 ISA Brown pullets they are now 21 weeks old
I also have hatched 5 ISA Brown x Barnevelder chicks they will be 13 weeks old on Tuesday.

I have a hen that I want to go broody she's not laying but every day she pretends to lay an egg and gets the whole flock clucking. I am also going to get 1 or 2 Broody hns aswell. and I was wondering if by any chance would they teach the other hen to go broody?
Yes, the roosters were living with the girls but now they are separated from each other and the hens. I did have suspicions of fighting but no real evidence. Another reason why I separated the hens and roos was one of my hens had a gash on her butt. My older rooster mates with a hen that is 5...
They have been together for about 1 month. Yes, I want to join the whole flock back together. One of the roos is 8 months old, and the other is 4 years old
