It has grown. Doesn't seem to affect her activity, or appetite, she is growing, it is hard, and has no fluid, I tried to drain it. Here are pics, would appreciate any input.
At what age should I set up laying boxes in the coop? my 2 oldest hens are 15 weeks, the rest range from 8-10 weeks. When I was building the coop I went ahead and put them in, but all the chicks decided they wanted to play and roost in them, so I took them out. However I did leave the table...
Thought I'd share some pics of my girls and the modifications I did on my coop. Pics of the girls aren't very good since they were to busy trying to get the good treats I had given them. I didn't realize there were so many pics, sorry

Ever since my oldest (my baby girl) was killed a couple weeks ago, I have been dead set on not letting my other babies out of their run. I have 2 buffs that are about 12 weeks, who were used to foraging with my older one, and I also have 2 that are almost 8 weeks, and 5 that are right at 5...

As some of you know something got my sweet girl Ginny Saturday night around dusk, she was out of the coop. Everyday I would let them out to forage in the yard for quite a while and keep an eye on them, or at least hear them. They would coop themselves at dusk. Of course I will be cooping them...

I am so over this weather...everyone I know is sick including me...just stay in the mid 70's and I'm happy!
Literally, I was wearing sleeveless shirts one day, and looked like I was in the arctic 2 days later.
( hope this screenshot isn't a copyright issue, never had issues before)
I got 5 2 week old chicks yesterday one was being pecked by the others pretty bad so I separated her, but her poor neck looks nasty. What can I put on it to help it heal? I have Blu-Kote, is she old enough for that?
