sti chick Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I am not sure what to do about this but she is in the nesting box for ages, all day if i would let her but i make her go outside so she can get some food & water. I close the pop hole to make her stay outside for a while then as soon as i open it she is straight back in the nesting box. Also she screams at me when i enter the hen house & also at the other hens if they get too near. She lays an egg daily...which i remove. When she is put outside she seems completely normal but as soon as she get the chance she is back inside. have you any ideas of what i can do?? My husband thinks i should leave her too it....but she wouldn't eat or drink.....help please if you can. lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
