    Open gash showing muscle

    I was putting the chickens back in their run and noticed this under the wing of one of the girls. It looks a little old but I just held her two days ago after a dust bath.

    Hen can’t walk curled toes

    I noticed yesterday one of my hens kept laying down when the rest of the girls ran up to me. When she tried to get up one leg was not moving and hanging. I initially thought she had hurt a tendon she is always going too high - no obvious breaks nor did I feel anything. I immediately separated...

    Sky high lumber prices = thinking outside the box.

    We repurposed some items to do a small coop for our new girls until we incorporate them with the others. Mostly pallet wood and some scraps of odds and ends
