So I found some 1.5 year old "Laying Hen" Production Reds on Craigslist. I picked them up yesterday but I feel like I've been scammed. They are from a production facility. One of the six was on a roost last night and it was 15 degrees out. When it started snowing they did not go into the coop. I had to shoo them inside to not get wet. I put foam panels on the bottom to keep the chickens from standing on concrete all night but they just lay down. I'm thinking about taking them out to make them roost. If they don't shape up in 2 weeks I'm going to cull them all. Any advice is appreciated. They are such worn out looking birds.
Thanks.
Thanks.
