I am new to the raising chickens, so when I brought my new hens home I had now real idea what to do. I made the coop nice and cozy, I made nesting box's and made sure they were secure, the have water, food and I bring them treats in the morning. I got a rooster to keep them company and they have been living together for about five days. I don't let them go out yet since they are still getting used to the new place. They all seem to be getting along and although they are still timid towards us they don't seem stressed. No one is laying yet though, is that normal? I know for a fact that at least one of them was laying before I got her and the other two are just about that age. Any suggestions?
