    Injured rooster

    Hi all, This may be a long winded story, My neighbours decided they didn’t want their three roosters any more and threw them out of their coop apparently in hope a fox or dog would kill them overnight (I’m very upset someone would do that to an animal).

    Hen lost all her feather, has saggy skin and seems to have lost weight

    Hi everyone, I have a hen as recently lost most of her feathers, her whole tail fell out in one day! She recently was broody and it took me over a month to break her broodiness.
