    Impacted crop

    No, she doesn't have grit. The coop is too small for her but I was thinking about that or getting her a friend that won't attack her. Thanks for the article

    How do you clean blood off feathers?

    I was thinking about bathing her but she is not doing too well so I'm going to stay away from it for now. I'll try peroxide and see if it works then I might try that if she gets a bit better.

    Very hurt hen
