    We somehow managed to get 3 silkie roosters in our flock, by accident. They're just coming to maturity now, and they're not aggressive at all. They're free to a good coop!

    Help! Blood around vent!

    This morning we noticed a hen in the nest box acting strangely and she has a significant amount of blood around the vent area. Is she possibly 'egg bound'? If so, if there is blood is there any chance we can save her?

    Help!

    One of my chickens which was introduced to the flock the other day has been pecked at a lot. It has a decent sized open wound on the back of its neck. I have separated it, sprayed it with antibiotics and wrapped it, but I don't know what to do now. I am trying to keep it warm currently. Help!

    How often to change the water?

    I have 6 chickens in my coop currently (only like 9 weeks old I think) and have a rather large waterer. Do I need to change the water out often or is it fine as long as it stays clean and theres plenty of it?

    Pop door question...

    If the pop door is located within a secured and covered run, does it need to be locked at night? I feel like it may not need to be since if they're inside the run the chickens are probably toast anyways. Anyone with experience or advice on this? Thanks!

    Old enough to remove heat lamp?

    We don't know exactly how old these guys are, anyone have a guess? We've had them 3+ weeks. Do they look old enough to take the heat lamp away? We've already raised it up a bit from where it was originally. I'm not sure why they're sideways
