they are still separateYou don’t need to keep them in a crate. Just separate from the other birds.

Then she is probably not laying yet.I looked. the vent looks pink and glossy on the inside area, around it looks the shade of yellow like her legs, the vent is not as big as when you compare her to my smaller chicken, laying leghorn.
Okay.they are still separate
@ElaynasChickI was a bit confused when you said you had them separate because I can see another hen or two running about with them, in the photos.
She may be feeling sick, cold, or is being bullied. Is she laying eggs right now?Also is it usual for a hen to roost during the day? one of my new ones a Delaware, is roosting right now and it's 11am non of my other chickens have roosted during the day.
also note that nesting box is very temporary and i know it looks wonky lol
i haven't had an egg from any of my new ones, many of them are molting, but she seems small i think 16 weeks and vent seems very small i couldn't even really find it lol, so maybe not laying yetShe may be feeling sick, cold, or is being bullied. Is she laying eggs right now?
She looks like she’s older than sixteen weeks. How long has she been roosting during the day?i haven't had an egg from any of my new ones, many of them are molting, but she seems small i think 16 weeks and vent seems very small i couldn't even really find it lol, so maybe not laying yet
If she’s separate from the young rooster, I doubt he’s what’s stressing her out.the rooster could also be stressing her out, she seems to be the out cast some times
