In the Brooder
We just moved into our dream home October 30th. We inherited 4 chickens with the house. The previous owner left me a ton of books but I must say this website is a lifesaver and AWESOME!! I know there is 1 barred rock and a leghorn. Not sure what the other 2 are. I have not been able to handle or pick any of them up. Very skittish except for the barred who is really nosy and likes to inspect everything I'm doing when im in the run with them. There are 3 nesting boxes and it seems only one is being used for laying eggs. The other 2 boxes have poop in them every morning. I've checked on them after dusk and have found the barred rock roosting where she's supposed to but the other 3 will be hunkered down in the nesting boxes. Not sure if they did this with the previous owner. Am I doing something wrong I wonder?? All advice would be much appreciated.
