She seems to be acting more normal, I know she pooped this morning, not sure since then. She hasn’t laid again but is still singing the egg sing every so often.
Thank you soo much for the advice. She seems a little more active, and she is now squawking like she is trying to lay. I got coconut in her vent but didn’t get even an inch to try to feel for an egg, she started fighting me I just got the coconut oil in there then set her down.

I got All the Giants from a friend who breeds them, and I bought the coppers from Tractor supply. I would like to breed them at some point. Not now tho. Next year. I want to research it over the winter so I’m prepared.
Yes I am allowed. I’d like to keep one of each and separate the two breeds. I prefer at least 10 hens... I wanted to make sure of the genders before I started trying rehome them. I suppose I need to start posting them. I’m going to get better pictures of all and repost first! I ordered some leg...
I was afraid of that... you all seem consistent in your opinions so far... seems like Re homing them Is going to be tough. There a lot of people trying to find homes for roosters...
