    Introducing 18 week old pullets

    Actually, would you get rid of the temporary crate right away also? They seem to run to it and then don’t want to leave. I think it’s a deterrent from getting into the main coop, yes?

    Introducing 18 week old pullets

    Thank you. I can’t see doing anything more and I know they’re getting ready to lay so I want them to be together and figure it out. I appreciate the feedback. 🤞

    Introducing 18 week old pullets

    Strain or broken leg?

    Thank you so much! I appreciate this info. I was able to move all parts of the leg carefully and normally and she didn’t fight me. She was able to put the leg down on her own but without weight after I gave her a warm soak with epsom. Still won’t use it but maybe that’s a good sign. First...

    Strain or broken leg?

    Hi everyone. I have a 1.5 yo chicken who was chasing a squirrel in the coop. I didn’t see it happen but she started limping and holding the leg up right after I got the squirrel out. I assume she hurt herself. It’s been 1 week and she’s still holding the leg up. No wound, no discoloration...
