    Chickens aren’t laying

    Thank you everyone for making me feel better about my flock. The sickness and losing 2 of the younger chickens made me feel like I was doing something wrong, so I was worried. Think it’s just that time for molting and I have to remember they are older now, so laying will be more sporadic.

    Chickens aren’t laying

I have one hen - the lowest on the pecking order and every time I let the chicks out of their “safe space” she attacks and tries to pin it to the ground. I immediately separate. Reading the above - intervening too much, is...

    Buffs ready to lay behaviour

    Yes, we do have vultures flying around at the moment. Run is secured with wire on top and a tarp over some, but we recently moved them to their larger run (previous one was completely covered) so maybe they are seeing those and deciding to go into their coop. Thanks for the info!! Although I was...

    Buffs ready to lay behaviour

    Hello! New chicken mom here. Our buffs are around 18 weeks old, and some have very red combs and wattles - don't think we have any roosters.. They do the squat when I go to pet their back. My question is - the last few days they have spent more time during the day in their coop. It looks like...
