    My hen has a cut on her waddles. Does she need to be isolated? I cleaned the wound, and now she is enjoying her backyard-range time while the others watch jealously from behind their fence. I will post a picture in a second .

    My chick had a tiny red thing in poop

    My chick pooped on me (of course) and I noticed that her poop had a lot of white in it, and it had a squishy little red thing. I don't know if I should be worried. This is part of it. She/he is approximately 4 weeks old.

    Chickens on gravel?

    Hi, I was just wondering if it would be ok to keep my chickens on gravel? The dog run we are going to keep them in came like this. Also hoping it would double as grit. If they can't be kept on the gravel, I would just put down some dirt or sand. Thanks!

    Brooder too small?
