    Broody Hen? Can I stop her?

    What if it’s too cold for a broody jail? Any other tips?

    Help! Getting pecked and pecking herself - BLEEDING

    UPDATE I haven’t been home yet today, but my husband said she laid a nice clean egg. So her vent must be fine, right? we’ve kept them separate all day and plan to continue that tonight

    Yes, but I’m thinking I’ll get more. Maybe I don’t have enough?

    She is eating, drinking - I’m not sure. no predators can get in, we are completely secure all around - even from those predators who dig!

    Help! Getting pecked and pecking herself - BLEEDING

    She’s very “hyper” but when I put her in the cat carrier she calmed down. She was going after the other hens (we have 5) I applied ‘dakins’ solution minimally and put her back in the carrier. It seems the actual bleeding has stopped. she’s a very uppity bird to begin with. She doesn’t do well...

    This is what I was wondering. They can be pretty nasty to each other 😬

    I cannot see maggots, but I’m also quite new to this. I made the dakins solution while waiting for my husband and applied that as best as I could.

    It’s to the side of her, not directly underneath

    Does that help? I believe her vent is in tact

    She was fine yesterday. Here is a better picture. how would I know if it’s maggots and how do I treat?
