I look at postings of other people's chickens, and they are frequently in some state of rest or relaxation. They are all laying down together or resting. My girls don't ever stop moving. Maybe they are still too young. They are 10 months old. They are CONSTANTLY on the move, scratching, digging, eating, begging for more food, etc. Even when I pick up one to snuggle, I only get a few seconds before she's squirming to be put down.
Are my hens just young?
