    My hen has a swollen face, waddles and neck, PLEASE HELP!

    I have her on probiotics and electrolytes as of now, should I poke her waddles and relieve some of the fluid or just let it go down on its own? Also is it safe to have her near my other birds?

    Pooping chicken!!

    Maybe just add another rung to your roost. Ours love to climb and they are always on the top one which is about 4 1/2ft off the ground, about a foot taller than the top of the nesting boxes. You might need to move the location of your nesting boxes away from the roost also. Good luck!
