    Mysterious bit of blood on the roosting bar

    Found a small splash of blood on the roosting bar in my coop. No blood visible on any of my girls. I've checked their feet and butts. No cuts or blood that I could see. No obvious lumps or swelling. Anything else I should check for? They are 24 weeks and most of them have just started laying.

    Dog Crate brooder questions

Also, I have that fan in the lower right going to keep the area(and hopefully the back of the crate) cooler and I don't feel...
