    Going outside?

    I have 25 Golden Comets that are roughly 8 weeks (rescues). Their coop is getting awful stinky fast. Had to finally clean coop about 3 weeks ago for the first time (coop will hold 35 hens). But since then I've been cleaning every week. Are they old enough to enjoy the good outdoors yet?

    lump and limping

    Was hanging out with the girls this am and this poor girl came out of the nesting box limping. On further inspection I found this lump between her toes. Is this bumblefoot or something else? Doesn't seem to cause her pain and she's eating and drinking.
