I have a small flock of 2 hens in my coop. One is a Black Australorp and the other a RIR. They have plenty of food, water, and the occasional treat. They will squawk like crazy when they are about to lay, and for the rest of the day! This is my coop:
I have a Black Australorp hen, and she started laying about 2 months ago. She only lay for about 15 days, and then stopped. It has been about 1.5 months now. She is eating/drinking and walking around fine, but I am a little concerned. What should I do?

Hey guys, I have a 6 month old Black Australorp hen who just started laying once a week. For the past 2 days, she has been squawking like crazy in the nesting box. It looks like she is trying to push out an egg! She is walking around fine, eating, and drinking okay. Is she egg bound or am I...
I have 2 hens and a small coop. I have a slide out tray that goes here, on top of the metal bars:
It is not there right now. I want to know if I should put chicken wire/keep it open where the black supports are instead of putting the black tray in. If I do that I could add more roosts. Would...
Hey guys, my 6 month old RIR just started laying 3 weeks ago. Ever since her first egg, she has been laying medium / large eggs every day but 2! Is that normal? Do you think she could break the record?
My Rhode Island Red hen started laying a few days ago 5 1/2 months. My Black Aastralorp hen the same age has not layed an egg yet though. I know Black Australorp are supposed to lay early, so when do you think she will lay?
Hey y’all, my 5 1/2 month old Rhode Island Red hen just started laying eggs 2 days ago. She has been laying constantly since. How often will she lay, and when will her eggs reach full size? Thank for the help! Here is one of her little eggs now:
It is so annoying and I can’t figure out why! It is so loud, and they keep gobbling, clucking, and screaming! We tried spaying and they stop momentarily. What should I do?

I have 2 5 month old hens. One, Jetta, is growing very well!
The other one, Hershey the RIR, looks like she has a stunted growth. She was always the runt, and was pushed away from the food and water when she was a chick. Here she is:
My Black Australorp hen keeps sitting in her nesting box not moving a muscle. She is also clucking softly. She just turned 4 months. Is she sick, or about to lay an egg?
This is her:
I have a 4 month old Black Australorp hen, and she is showing tell tale signs of laying an egg soon. She dug herself a burrow in her nesting box and sat on on of the golf balls I put in there, her comb and wattle are getting very big and red very fast, she just got a lot heavier, and whenever I...
