So here in Texas it has started to snow. I put my three chickens in a large cage (big enough) in my garage because the heating lamp in my coop isn't working. It is now around 34 degrees and I was thinking about putting them back in the coop. On Thursday it's supposed to go down to 25 degrees...
My coop is small and doesn't have too many hideouts. I am also worried because I introduced them to each other and my black sex link challenged the white leghorn (even though there are bars separating them). They are 10, 6, and 3 months old.
Hello, I have two questions. So one of my two chickens died a few days ago from a predator attack, and I have already received two new chickens. I only have one coop and I have kept them in a large cage for about a day. My questions are:

Hi my Orpington Buff is limping. There are no signs of blood, but she's not putting any weight on her foot so she's only hopping with one leg. Her injured leg is leaning forward and it's hard for her to stand. Any idea what it can be?
