I have 6 backyard hens and they're all 1 year old... I feed them a 15% organic layer feed, but I like to give them a scoop of scratch in the mornings as a treat and to quiet them down lol... my problem is that it seems like they don't like the cracked corn in the scratch and they eat everything...
I have a speckeled Sussex who I just noticed has a little bit of a poopie butt... She is breathing with her mouth open and lifting her wings away from her body slightly... it is about 75° outside and the other chickens seem fine, but she seems a little lethargic... I live in Southern...
