My hen Sneeze is to old to roost. I've had a hard time finding a good beding solutions though. She needs to sleep on somthing soft or she gets blisters. The vet told me to use wood chips, well Sneeze HATES woodships I found. When she found them in to coop she made anxios clucks and chose to...

First off, I can't take her to the vet, dad doesn't take chickens to the vet, I dotn have money. My old hen sits alot and has developed a brest blister. It had started healing once I cured her bumble foot but as she's gotten older it's come back. Its formed into something much like bumble foot...
