Hi,
I have 2 chickens, just under 5 months old. My barred rock started laying pretty regularly 2 weeks ago. Now she seems really upset that her eggs go missing from the nest.
She clucks a worried cluck and repeatedly looks for her egg! After we take it in the house she goes in and out of the henhouse and clucks worriedly, and keeps checking the nest for the egg. When we let them free range she looks all around in the grass...not eating bugs or anything just poking her head in and out of tall grasses and walking around...clucking a worried cluck (not her normal voice) all the while. I try to give her a treat when she seems upset like this.
Will this go away? She was especially worried today and I don't know what to do...we are new to this.
Thanks,
