New Chic here.

I am very new to chickens. I was given 2 hens one is a Buff Orphinton maybe 2 years old and laying and a 7 month old Easter Egger not laying yet. I have added a 4 month old Silkie to the group. I am finding that having and caring for these girls is a bit more stressful than I anticipated. I will definitely appreciate any tips and help that is provided
Thank you

Hi, that's quite an age spread you have...are they co-existing ok?

Chicken stress, with that few birds? I might suggest Valium!
