The coop I got off from a friend who no longer was raising chickens and she had eleven so I figured it would work. Now I feel bad cause I didn't know. I'll make sure to find a way to get her separated and put on a higher protein diet to help her feathers come back. Plus I guess I need a bigger...
The coop is a 4 ft by 8ft and has one run so far. Is there something specific for protein that should feed her? The feathers seem to be growing back but slowly.
I have one hen who not only lost most of her feathers and not sure why but now has a lump by her throat. She is only 18 weeks and this is my first flock of chickens. I don't have a way of separating her and not a lot of money to spend on something either. I noticed the lump earlier this week...
Just brought home my first baby chicks the other day. I got three different breeds 4 of each kind. They are Golden Comets, Barred Plymouth Rocks, and Buff Orpingtons. Hopefully I didn't make a mistake in going with three breeds. Not sure if they all will get along okay but so far so good.
