This started out to be a brooder then i got a sick bird so i added a sick bay. It's 4' x 8' x 6 1/2' tall i installed wheels so it can be moved around the property. Thought y'all may like to see it. Have large doors on both boxes for clean out also vents in them and small roosting pole.
Hen hopping on 1 foot. Cleaned foot and leg did not see a thing wrong. Then noticed feathers missing on butt and chest. On the chest it is a real red patch. She seem's oh okay but still hopping around. I have her in a different pen from the rest. Any one have any comment's on what might be wrong.
i have 5 hens and 2 roosters and get eggs each day. i'm not new to chicken had a flock before but the possum's got all of them. starting over this time i put up a electric fence to keep them out. i'm looking at some new stuff on the site.
