I have a multi part question…About 3 weeks ago I introduced 6 new 20 week old hens to my 6 9 mo old hens they’ve been getting along beautifully however this morning when I opened the coop I noticed I had one hen with blood where the feathers meet her legs on both sides. It’s not gushing blood...
Even stranger update....this morning when I opened the house up Laverne and Shirley were both sitting on Shirley’s nest🤷♀️🤦♀️. I am so confused...this is my first time trying to hatch out so I’m clueless lol!
Shirley was eating this morning then went out for a dip in the pool while Laverne sat on her nest🤷♀️ I tossed out Laverne’s eggs she isn’t sitting hardly at all is spending all her time outside with Moose while Shirley hardly ever comes off the nest.

After a few days of bed rest she seems to be doing a bit better, I let her out this morning, she did a lot of lying around but was also mobile. Fingers crossed she’s on the mend!
Hi! Thanks for responding, I asked about the frequency and she is to get .5cc twice a day
so I was worried about that too as my dog gets it once a day as needed...I was told ducks metabolize it differently and twice a day at .5cc?
Hi everyone! I’m new here and for background I have 2 Khaki Campbell hens, Laverne and Shirley, that were originally from a family of 4 (3 hens and a drake, they had a visit from a fox)I got for my neighbor for her birthday, I inherited them back from my neighbor’s farm after her husband passed...
