So, she's STILL in the box! I push her out every day to come eat the treats I bring out to the girls, she has all of her energy. I am going with a broody hen, because she's ALWAYS sitting on eggs. I am convinced that she moves them into her box and sits on them. How do I break that habit? She's never mean or nasty, just puffs up when I open the egg door to collect. Also, I don't know if anyone would know anything about this, but I would say 8 out of our 10 hens have bald spots on their back right by their tails. Could it be an illness, or do you think that they are overcrowded and are pecking eachother? It's bald...skin showing. Can I put anything on it to make it better?
