    Injured comb

    I got home just after dark. With the offender locked up. The other girls all cuddled up, laying on my poor girl keeping her warm.

    Injured comb

    Tha thanks so much, blood is splattered in the hen house, so she was cornered and attacked! I am not sure what neosporin is, is it an antiseptic?

    Injured comb

    My beautiful salmon fav layed her first egg today, unfortunately the Isa brown attacked her on the best, blood everywhere and an injured comb. What do I do? Miss isa has been locked away, whilst my injured girl is with her friends. Any suggestions?

    I put mulch ( wood chips ) in the run if its probe to get muddy. But generally we leave it and rake it weekly when we clean the coop. I use wood shavings under the roosts and hay in the nesting boxes. Hope that helps!

    How to control muddy outside coop

    Mulch or gravel works well for me. Anything else tends to decompose quickly

    Well it's cold here as its winter so she defiantly would have had some cold air. Ill see how she goes over the next few days.

    Huge egg!

    One of ours layed a 75g egg and today I found a 15g egg! We have 7 crazy girls all different breeds

    Other birds eating the eggs

    The coop is enclosed with a small door. Maybe I could remove the food during the day when we let the girls out?
