They are on a layer feed and calcium. They have a dust bath with DE in it. My BO def had lice, I knew by checking her vent, but I don't see any today. Her legs look kind of irritated but not sure if that's normal or not? Her poop is on the runny side but again as I'm new to chickens I'm not sure...
