    Injured chicken- last resort!

    Not limit feed, limit to regular feed. In other words, not feed her the grapes/crackers, etc with the feed. I should’ve worded my previous post better. Update: she has recovered! Back to eating/drinking on her own (yay!) and living with the flock. Her feathers are growing back in. She hasn’t...

    Help!! Not sure what is going on

    Hello! I’ve read so many posts and see how helpful this community is. I am hoping for some good advice. Last week one of my 1 year old hens started having swelling in front of her left eye. My flock free ranges during the day so I was hopeful she just got poked or something like that. It did not...
