My Hens and chicks are enjoying the very warm weather we are experiencing in Australia right now. Their faces light up when they see me come outside and put fresh water in their bowl. I think they're just generally happy ;)
yes, she does have a droopy wing. Would a bandage holding her wing into position suffice?
As I've previously mentioned, I think it's been almost a week since she's been behaving differently. Is it bad that I've left it this long or will the wing still heal if I tape it back into position?
No, it's definitely not what you described. Now that you mention that though, one of my other hens is doing exactly what you just described! She sits in her nest all day and growls at me if I try to force her out lol.
I open the door to my coop every morning so my chickens can roam freely...
My young chicken (not sure of age), has been really off lately. She doesn't eat, or follow the other chickens, she just sits in one spot all day. At night, she doesn't fly onto the roost, but instead sits on the floor.
My neighbour also owns chickens, so I have asked him what the problem could...
Hey, everybody! My name's Liam and I'm from Australia.
I currently own 3 chickens, and I basically joined to further my knowledge of hens and roosters. :)
Great to be here!
