hey guys,
With the birds being cooped up more due to the weather, I've noticed one being pecked almost bald, not bleeding but I can see it going there. I've heard of a mustard paste being put on eggs that were being eaten. Would this work on a bird's head?
Should I hang things in the coop to entertain them more? The coop is like 5'x4' for 4 hens and a rooster which in retrospect is probably too small when they're stuck inside...Should I put them out into the yard to run around even though its freezing or snowing? I know they have instincts, I just don't want to see my favorite hen getting hurt. This is a new thing by the way, in the past 2 days...
