    Introducing new chickens

    Yeah I think that happened with mine too come to think of it. I would say wait a little longer to go out there Even if it requires a flashlight because mine don’t go in until it’s just about dark. (Almost 9pm here in the north). The “guard” is going to go in at some point and the others will...

    Feather loss & Soft eggs?

    I’ve read that Vaseline is safe for chickens. Maybe apply a thin layer on that red spot a couple times a day? It looks like self inflicted to me, maybe ur chicken keeps pecking at it cuz it’s sore or itchy. It seems like drs are prescribing Vaseline for minor wound care now instead of other...
