    Time Factor With Suspected Crop Impact

So much that her crop gets to looking like she's carting around a baseball under her beak and since it gets quite hard I figured it might be impacted. I put her in a separate cage outside of her pen with...

    Molting and Smaller Eggs

At first I suspected my roo was being rough so I put a saddle on her thinking her feathers would grow in - they haven't. Now other hens are showing signs of rough...
