We had 3 white Brahmas that we raised from chicks. Of course they didnt start laying till August which is horrifically hot in Tx. The leader hen got egg bound and after I gave her a shot of Calcium Gluconate she seemed to recover. Alas, she succumbed to the heat. That left the 2 hens. A young man had a chicken to give away and good lord she was in bad shape. We rehabbed her and kept them seperated for 2 weeks. We finally let her out and contrary what the feed store said Big Brahmas are Beeotches. I've seen that in flocks before but was surprised by the misinformation of the farm store.
What concerns me is if you go to pick this red rescue hen up one of those darn white behemoths runs and attacks you and the hen.
This red rescue hen is laying now and lord only knows why, she must be so stressed.
Our barnyard is grass and about 80 ft by 40ft with lots of places to hide.
I thought about finding another meek hen to run with this red one so she doesnt feel the need to be with those white monsters.
Everyone is laying at least everyother day.
Is there anything else we could do to rectify this?
