Hi all! About a 2 months ago we came home to a barred rock hen, in a box, on our doorstep. We had no coop for her, so we brought he in & placed her in an XL dog cage in our laundry room. She gave us an egg a day from day 1!
2 weeks ago we added a chicken tractor with 4 young pullets. 1 already laying.
Added our 1st hen & all got along fine.
Jenny (our 1st hen) continued laying regularly, after the 1st day.
2weeks later she stopped laying!!
Not broody or moulting. Eating, drinking & pooping normally. Feels (not distended) & acts normal.
Any ideas?
Everything changed for this poor girl. Her feed (young pullets can't eat layer food yet) eating all flock pellets. Her housing- she had human contact & light constantly.
I'm at a loss as to what to do
