Chickens bugged

Recommended Posts

I built a chicken coop and moved my hens into it.  They are eating, drinking, laying eggs no issues.  I also have 2 roosters and a baby chick, then I led into the new fenced area near the coop and dropped grain on the ground for them.  But a day later, they are still right exactly where they were when I unleashed them.  They haven't moved at all.

 

I would expect that they are running around like busy little beavers like before.. perhaps they are sad that the hens are isolated?

Or maybe they think because the hens can't run around, that they shouldn't either?

 

Anyway, thought it was worth mentioning.

Tonite I took the hens out of the coop, and the roosters and baby chick began moving again.

 

Edit.. well, kind of.   One rooster took like 4 steps and stopped and hasn't moved since.  The other rooster and chick haven't moved, but the two hens are moving.
