We have a rooster, along w/3 hens. One of the hens disappeared naturally we thought she had ran off or something had killed her. Our hens, my cousin said are ginnea's, spelled wrong. My dad is 81 and I'm really worried so excuse me for sounding ignorant. The hen came back, she was in the woods, beside our house, along w/a baby. Another hen is laying in the carport and refuses to move. She has been on these eggs for way over a month. I've tried, to no avail, to get her off of them, but she's MEAN. She pecked me and brought blood. Anyhow, we have a henhouse, but they refuse to stay in it. What do I do???????? I <3 animals, but I'm only an expert on anything to do w/about pitbulls'. I would really appreciate any in-put as to how/what to do raising chickens and appreciate it as well. I'm very busy w/work, home, my dogs. I'm more about hands on learning, like videos, sites to relate to this. I just don't want the hen to get an infection, disease, etc..... The eggs couldn't be any good, she has straw, and is sitting on a make shift shelf, PLEASE HELP, Not KNOWLEADGABLE ENOUGH IN KY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!
