My hens (3 of them) have always got on very well - bought them alltogether. 2 weeks ago the 'leader' was hurt by my dogs (separate post). She is now doing really well but very wobbly on her legs. I have kept her in the resting box and the others join her at night to roost. In beginning I...

Hi, I am in Nottinghamshire
