    My chickens won't roost on their roost!!

    Hen seems to be getting better.

    Our sick hen seems to be doing better. Looks like she had sour crop. Her energy level still seems to be a little low but she is eating again. I was a little worried that she wouldn't be acepted back into the group but that too seems to be okay. She hasn't laid an egg in over a week, Is that...
