    My Hen isn't feeling well. I noticed only two of my three girls were out yesterday morning. Went to check and sure enough she was still in the coop at 11:00 am.

    Chickens eat like they are starving

    Yes chickens are always hungry or bored. My girls eat much more than my roosters. Every morning I cut up grapes for them. They love them. I get fussed at until I make it out there to feed them. Bread as well but they defiantly love their grapes .

    fertilize the yard

    My son has a small garden and his plants look horrible. I almost put out fertilizer but I stopped myself after looking at it and realizing how much it looked like little pebbles or even seed. What do I do. My poor babies garden is suffering.

If you notice any drainage from her nose or she is breathing with her Beak open then she is probably stuffed up and has a cold. That's very dangerous. That's when antibiotics need to be...
