    Do I intervene further?

    OK so I had to peek and found that both chicks are still alive, no more progress, but also no visable blood so hopefully they will work themselves out by tonight. My broody is so good she compains at me but doesn't even peck when I poke around her.

    Green poop

    Thank you for the suggestions, we will separate him and keep an eye out. My husband is afraid he has a disease and he would have to cull him, so this advice really helps. Could this be caused by too much scratch or from eating layer feed?

    poisoned eggs

    If I am using pyrmethrin to treat lice, does anyone know how the eggs are effected? How long I have to throw them out? I also put the pyrmethrin in their nest boxes and dusted all around the coop.

    Fox-tail in eye?**pics**

    Over a month ago I had a hen with her eye shut tight. I quarantined her for a couple of days and cleaned the eye. I thought one of the other hens had pecked out her eye, but it seemed to be healing so I put her back with the other hens. Now I can see it is not healing, the eye is still there...
