Just starting out. I have a new orchard 6mtrs by 30 mths and have my chicks roaming all day and at night I lock them into their chick house, there are still plenty of greens growing plus I put all my garden waste here to keep the soil covered. They dig such big holes but are very quiet and content. My Mother 91yrs chats to them often. I still put my kitchen waste into buried worm buckets although the chicks dig down around them for the bugs. I will need to keep them here for at least a year until their own permanent run will be built. I do have a problem with one chicken who seems so restless and stressed.

Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
I'm uncertain what you mean by restless and stressed. I hope you can resolve this for her.
Thanks, she paces the perimeter, jumps in and out of the nesting boxes, jumps out of the yard (even with one wing clipped) If she was human I would say she has a giant belly ache or just lost a best friend. We had had them now for 6 weeks and are very friendly and quiet.
