Please Help.
I merged 6 new chicks to an existing flock of 7 (1 1/2 year olds) a few months back.
I believe I did everything right regarding the merge.
However, since I've merged them the older chickens have almost stopped laying.
I was told this would maybe happen and then get better but it hasn't.
The new chicks should start laying anytime now. But I don't believe they have yet.
They still seem to stay in there 2 separate groups. The new chicks are as big as the older ones.
I have a super nice set-up for them. So I don't believe it's related to that.
Any advice or suggestions????
