    Pullet with two huge lumps by hock

    All my flock was dead this am

    I feel so bad. I had a new small flock of hens with a rooster that I am trying to integrate into my old flock. They were staying in chicken tractor covered with a tarp (with roosts off the ground). I was following the advice on this site, integrating them by keeping them separate with a fence...
