On March 13, I bought more hens. They are all hens. I have kept them seperated from the older hens that are a year old. I let the older hens run in the evening but keep them cooped up the rest of the day. In the evenings, the older hens and the younger ones run together in the evenings. I am not...
I went outside today and realized one of my hens has a brown crust on her comb. None of the other hens have this crust. They roam the yard and do not stay in a coop often. I am not sure what would cause this or why. Can someone please help me? What is it? What can I do to help get rid of this...
