Found a small splash of blood on the roosting bar in my coop. No blood visible on any of my girls. I've checked their feet and butts. No cuts or blood that I could see. No obvious lumps or swelling. Anything else I should check for? They are 24 weeks and most of them have just started laying.
It went fine. We moved them outside at about 4 weeks when their feathers came in. Weather wasn't too bad but I did put a little cardboard hotel inside their coop so they could huddle inside it for warmth if they wanted. They are 18.5 weeks old now.
I can't upload photos from my phone, so I'm hoping this link works: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PoultryPeople/permalink/1684734534889902/
I thought they were cuckoo marans because that's what I ordered. But now there's some question.
My 6 day old chicks managed to tilt their waterer so that all the water leaked out into their bedding. All their bedding is now wet. Not sopping, but definitely wet. Do I need to change it immediately? Or can it wait until I take them outside tomorrow afternoon?
