    I had separated my 4 young pullets from my 2 older hens for about 9 days, both in the coop and garden/run. Great suggestion from folks here. Well, I took down the separation walls and let the chicks out int the main garden, with the 2 big girls. I stood by, then sat, and waited. Nothing...

    Worm During Freezing Weather?

    I wormed my one sick hen about 2 weeks ago, for round worms, and she made a miraculaous recovery. I also wormed the other 2, and treated the coop. Do I need to worm again, now that the night temps are below freezing?
