Hi everyone....I appreciate your welcomes and all the neat information. I will do as suggested and up their protein take, get the worming underway, try to give them additional interests:.I have been adding small quantities of green lettuce and cabbage to their diet each day. I have a portable pen to move them to outside their chicken run while I am cleaning it I will let them stay in it for longer periods of time during the days. We did get our 2nd egg yesterday..So I am still hopeful..
They do appear content and I just love the way the "talk" to me each day as they "greet" me at their pen gate. They have a 12 by 14 chicken run with 3 nest boxes and several roosts. I am not ready to let them run loose as we have too many feral cats (plus a lynx, coyotes etc) that patrol thru the country side in our area..WE have purchased a round chicken tractor now which they will live in during the spring and summer..
Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and welcomes...
Linda
