    Is this normal?

    I am new to chicken keeping. 1 of my hens has developed a dint in her feathers in the front and I was just making sure she is ok and there is nothing wrong with my lovely lady. She is happy and healthy otherwise. Thank you for looking. I am probably being silly.

    Temperatures

    I have what may be a stupid question. Is there a certain temperature that chickens like to lay? I know they need 14 hours of sunlight. Is there any thing else?
