    Chicken injured!

    Okay, I will check tractor supply today. We have her outside in a dog crate on the side of the house with the most sun. It’s pretty warm and we gave her some shade. I wanted her to still be able to see and talk to the other hens.

    Injured Hen. What do I do?

    A couple weeks ago, our best rooster was attacked and killed by our dog. We had another rooster that had grown up with the first rooster, but the new roo still wasn’t on good terms with the original one. When the first rooster died, the young one, Winter, had to take up the slack. We have a...
