Sorry, no help here just a question. Where did you get them that 2 of 15 (14%) had odd issues with beaks? Seems strange that you had beak problems with different birds.
...them meet and roost together (I know, I should have isolated them for a while). The farm we got the new girls from had about 40 hens and one mean *** rooster. Many of the hens were missing feathers on their backs but none appeared sick or injured. None of the other hens are showing any...
Thanks for the input. Chickens are still spending much of their day inside the coop and still no eggs. It has been very hot here the last few days so I'm sure that has something to with it. I am going to try some frozen fruits and cooling the water.
