This is Tiny. She’s a 9 month old Barnyard Mix with a black scab like thing on her left earlobe. Lobes are white normally. She’s broody. So, I have been regularly checking on her and bringing her back into the run on hot days. Several days ago, I noticed what looked like a pecking wound...

Coming up on a week. I started letting them out yesterday evening. They’re still considerably smaller than the others though. I’m guessing it’ll be another 3 weeks to integration. My “big” girls don’t conform easily. I typically have to put one to two of them in “jail” for 24 hours after...
