Hi: I am Maureen and we have 12 hens, aka “the girls”. We are new chicken owners and on a steep learning curve. We do not have a rooster as they are not permitted per our HOA, but we do have a dominant female my husband has nicknamed the mother clucker. We are in Virginia and we have been getting about an egg a day, warmer days up to 5 eggs!
We also do the Saturday Swing… my husband hangs a head of cabbage or lettuce for them to play with…they are very entertaining, full of personality!

Welcome to BYC! Happy Valentines day

Hanging lettuce too. Sometimes when there is no male a female may be dominant over the other birds and even mock mait them to show her dominance. You will find a lot of good information here Good luck and have fun...
