    Hurt Foot

    I brought her in. She will stand and then lay down. She is making normal chicken sounds, but i am not sure if she wants to eat. She has food and water and I added watermelon. Is this normal?

    Hurt Foot

    my daughters hen who is about 7 months old hurt her foot. She does not want to walk on it. We had a rain storm last night so I am not sure if she fell off the ramp or what. I looked for bumble foot and there is nothing that indicates that. Any ideas. I do not feel any bones in the wrong place?

    Free Range Part Time

    Hi All, My flock of 6 Rhode Island Reds get to free range part of the day. One of my girls discovered she can fly on the fence and fly to the other side. Does anyone have suggestions how to keep them on their side of the fence so that won't get into trouble. I have dogs, but they do not bother...
