    Wet bulb question

    My RH needs to be 86% and my dry thermometer temp needs to be a 99. Since I have added the string and water to the dry thermometer to make it a hygrometer, does that mean the new temp reading (wet bulb) on the thermometer should be 95 degrees?

    photo of my dead chickie..Do I have a disease in my coop

    My chick was hatched in 04/09 and she lost her back feathers about 2 weeks ago and had an injury on her wing. I assumed she rubbed them on the chain link or that the other chicks pulled them out and caused the injury. There is also another chick with the back feathers missing but with no injury...

    chicken with large swollen underside

    The body area under my chicken's tail is swollen. She cannot walk. She is eating and alert. I thought she was egg bound but when I checked inside her vent, I can feel a large hard mass under the skin inside the bottom of her vent. I don't feel any eggs. Can anyone give me any ideas?
