    Feather Loss - Disease or Bullying?

    You're correct there's nothing much in there at all! 😂. I did plant some small shrubs inside b/c they very much like to hide under then & make their dust baths etc. This is a newer home for them that wasn't meant to be full-time, so I need to give them some distractions I guess. Thank you...

    Hen limping x 4 weeks, no swelling or scab

    Ok thx that gives me hope! She hasn’t really isolated herself & is one of the larger “teenagers”, I’m sure she’s growing faster than some of the others. Doesn’t seem super hampered by it, just slow & obviously won’t put a lot of weight on it. I can deal with a long recovery or impairment ...

    Hen limping x 4 weeks, no swelling or scab

    Thank you for that. I thought so too, but do you think it would be improving at this point, 3 to 4 weeks? Otherwise no distress
