    Won't stop brooding going on six weeks!

    Yes, she's in a wire cage about a foot off the ground, she just holes up in the corner of it and broods there, doesn't even get up for food or water, so I have to throw her out so she'll eat. If yours went six weeks too, I guess she'll be ok. I just get worried about her not eating and drinking...

    Bloody Hen - Picking/Fighting

    Thank you both for the advice. I have her separated right now in a see through cage in the large pen. I might go with the betadyne and neosporin as it is a pretty large wound, and it is starting to swell as it heals and look even worse. I do have one more question about feed...I had them on...

    Bloody Hen - Picking/Fighting

    Hello, I am new to the board and chickens and could really use some advice. My husband used to have chickens and I loved them, so we decided to get 3 Buff Brahma chicks (all hens) in April for pet/egg purposes to get back into it. When I am at work, I keep them in an 8x4x6 multilevel pen, and...
