I found one of my hens yesterday with a prolapsed vent, I’m not sure how long it’s been like this. She’s 3 years old and I’m not sure if she’s still laying or not, because most of my hens are brown and I can’t tell which hen laid what egg. I found her yesterday afternoon and used prep h and...
I have a broody mama sitting on 4 eggs, 2 of them are from 3 days ago, one is from yesterday and the last is from today. Will mama reject the ones that hatch a few days later than the first 2 eggs?
How worried should I be about this spot on my new guys beak? The woman I got him from said he’d only been fighting other roos. I got him about 3 weeks ago. The bottom of it is chipped. Will it heal?
