I was going to let my hens out today and when I went to check all there poop to see what I had to clean I saw what looked to be an egg just cracked open no shell or anything! Is this poop? I went to open the hen house at 5:30 so I can’t see how it’s an egg.

We just got 2 laying hens unknown breed unknown age but when we got them one was bare backed with feathers missing on the neck and both of them have feathers that look weird and I wonder if it’s from being pecked? Any other reasons it would be like that?

I have one meat hen and six bantam hens and the hens need 24/7 according to someone else on this. So the problem comes of how do I restrict my meat birds feed to let her live longer But at the same time allow my other hands to have 24/7 access? They share the same everything and are in a flock...
My hens all have chicken saddles because the roosters were cutting up there back but ever since I got them the roosters have been mating them Less and I think it’s because when the roosters do get on the hens run with him on the back so he can never finish. Is this normal hen behavior?
