    It turns out that she was indeed egg bound, and passed it on her own through the night. She's back to herself :D

    Weird Behavior (Resolved)

    One of my hens is acting strange today. She was fine until this evening. They ate some corn cobs and pecked at some apples so nothing out of the ordinary. When I went out later she was in the corner of the coop yard. Standing there, but just staring. Not paying attention to the others...

    Pruning Spray

    I was reading that some people use Pruning Spray to seal and protect wounds on their chickens. I've been having a hard time to find the stuff actually. Is this Pruning Paint the same thing, or completely different? I'm thinking this stuff might be toxic? There is also Pruning Paste. If...
