She is kinda sluggish for the past couple of days as it has been colder out than it has been.

This is what I found this morning when I opened up the coops for my chickens:
Needless to say I woke my husband up from sleeping when I screamed quite loud and surprised I didn't wake up everyone in the house.
My son said he committed suicide because he was dead when I got out there. Still...
I have noticed that one of my female Embdens Gwendolyn is smaller than her sister (or hatch mate) Delilah. They both started laying eggs in February and stopped in May. They also took in my 2 new babies when I got them for Mother's day. My concern is that Gwen looks much smaller than Delilah...

I picked up my Martin yesterday and I looked at his feet and they looked fine on top but when I looked at the pads they were cracked and bleeding. I am not sure if there is something going on but they are both cracked and one was bloody. What could this be from?
What can I do to help them heal...
I already have 2 female Embdens that are just now a year old. I got the babies on Saturday and set them up in the goose coop with a large dog kennel (for safety until larger). Right away one of my females has been at the kennel and when I let the babies out I noticed she is sticking very close...
