    What do I feed my pullets

    I have one adult Red Star chicken and went out and bough 2 Red Star pullets that are about 14 weeks. My question is do I let the pullets eat what the adult or do I buy start and grow for the pullets and let the adult eat that as well? I have a rather small coop with no way to separate the...

    She is not scratching her ear that I know of and they both looked clean. I have help holding her while I put eye drops in. I'll check later today and again to see how she's doing.

    One eye closed on my hen

    Here is a photo of some poop. I have a plastic container under their roost to collect but not sure which one/s it is. When I took the photo of her eye she kept bending her head into her side and her comb is also leaning.

    One eye closed on my hen

    I noticed that one of my three hens has her left eye totally closed and she has tilted her head to the left as well. She appears healthy and is laying eggs. Is there anything that I can do for her?

    One of my chickens isn't laying

    The chickens are only about 6+ months old so I don't think they are molting yet.

    One of my chickens isn't laying

    No health issues with any. They all come running when I have treats for them.
