    Almost 8 week old chick

    any ideas on a splint that I can make with something around the house? I have used that wrap stuff on her knee area and it usually falls down to her foot during the day. So maybe splinting is the way to go now, hopefully.

    Hens and their eggs

    I have 3 hens that will not get out of their nesting box and have been sitting on their 2/3 eggs for a few days now. Usually the hens lay their eggs and then leave them, so I go in a collect them. Not this time. So would it be ok to try and put straw in the nesting box? For the eggs at least.
