    Very sick hen

    So I got her and another with her of the same breed and age that's doing well. She had very little feathers when I got her and had no feathers on her underside.

I pulled her out of the coop this morning and put her in a warm place under a red light. she did get up a couple minutes and drank plain water on her own then she laid back down.

    Very sick hen

    She's a lavender orpington. She's never laid since I got her. Her feed has 17% protein. Her crop feels nothing like my other hens. just feels like a bone there and nothing else. It's felt empty for a bit now. I don't smell any odor.

    Keeping chicks in coop

    So I have a little 4x4 coop. I'm planning on getting four chicks. Where I live it is currently 50° during the day and 40s at night. Would it be okay to put my chicks in the coop with a brooder or would they get too cold? I have the Producers Pride brooder and Coop heater from tractor supply.

    What is this?

    Okay thank you for the advice! I feed them 16% layer pellets and i always powder my left over egg shells and add them in. I also try to give them fruit or veggies as often as possible. I didn't see any yolk but there was some egg white like stuff all around it.

    I let my chickens free range, but keep a tiny run for while I'm at work and can't keep an eye on them:-).
