This happened rather suddenly, I suspected a foot or leg injury. I checked for bumblefoot. I saw some minor swelling by a tiny cut but that is all. I separated...

    Hurt wing, now can't stand

    I'm sorry to report that she didn't make it. She wouldn't eat on her own and was not improving. We had to put her down. Sad, sad day.

    Dust bath

    Mixed up some sand, DE, and wood ash. Put it in a shallow Tupper ware type container, works great.

    Hen with a hurt foot.

    When I got a little more help to keep her calm, we noticed that the injury wasn't nearly as bad as it looked. We gently cleaned it off, and put her back with the other girls. I try to keep the coop clean and dry.Thanks for the help, I am a nervous Nelly, when it comes to the girls. All is well.

    Utah!

    I'm in Layton and have 3 hens. All will be a year old in April. I want to add 1 or 2 more hens of different breeds this spring.I am guessing that I should get older birds, not babies. Where do I get year old birds?
