    Broken Wing

    UPDATE: The bones are not broken. It seems as though the shoulder joint has been dislocated. She cannot move the wing and it twists as if just hanging by skin. Right now it is immobilized but I dont see how this will help her in the long run. Can I remove the entire wing?

    Loud chicks at night!

    It will take them a while to learn what to do. Just keep putting them in at night. You might go out at dusk and give them treats in the coop. That will get them used to coming in when they are supposed to! I kept mine locked into just my coop for about a week before I gave them access to...
