Hello All!
I have two 15 week old ladies; a black australorp and Amerecauna. They’ve been outside in their coop since 6 weeks of age. They have gladly spent the entire day roaming the yard from the time I open their door in the morning until I lock them up at night. The last 3 days, they have not left the coop at all. That is until just now as I took some pictures of them to add to this post. Now they’re outside for the first time in days. Normally they come running out right away every time I open the door in the morning. My Amerecauna normally follows my austarlorp around like a shadow. So I was thinking that something could be wrong with my austarlorp. I also read that austarlorps can start laying as early as 16 weeks so maybe she’s feeling different the past few days as she’s approaching the 16th week.Nevertheless, has anyone one experienced this before or know what the problem could be? Their waddles are not bright red, do they look healthy at their 15th week? Thank you!
