I also think that will heal fine- definitely keep her separate until it is well healed, but I would bandage it loosely with gause or something if you are keeping her out in the coop. Flys lay eggs so quickly and you don't want it to get maggots.

I don't have an answer for the first two, but on the last one the first thing I would do is make sure that she is able to poop- sometimes babies need "help" keeping that area clean and it gets glued over with poop. A warm bath and some gentle wiping may help. I don't have a lot of experience...

I was given a flock of chickens and have been caring for them for a few mths at someone else's house. They have been moved over to my place about 3 weeks ago- with a new coop and now that they are here I get to spend a lot more time with them and watch them a lot more. :D I have a hen who is...

They will be totally closed in from predators and we will make sure it is not expected to be bad weather. Thanks for the answers

We are moving a coop (and the chickens) about a mile. We have to take the coop fown and then rebuild it. Would the chickens be ok overnight in tg eir enclosed run. It would ve only one night- if we can't get it completed in one day.
