    Someone save me

    Yes. My older hen. This hens mother actually. I got 4 rosecomb bantams 2 years ago from an old friend. Since then, one female broke her leg as it got caught in a cage that wasn’t properly fixed. I raised many chicks off my remaining hen and males. Then I was left with 2 males and a female, since...

    The medication is not pain relieving. It’s a healing salve. The lights are turned off at night. But she was beaten up during the day as she was fine for morning check but when I went out at lunch she was hurt

    Bloated chicks?

    All other chicks are fine. I’m using the same brand/type of medicated chick starter that I’ve been using for years. And the same vitamins for the water that I’ve had no problems with in previous years. Butts on them look good. I’m using Pine shavings
