    Found one of my hens dead

    Eyes look clear and normal, she was a flighty girl, as most leghorns are, I'm wondering now if she didn't try to fly out of the run and maybe break her neck hitting something. Idk, I'm just worried for the other girls now.

    Found one of my hens dead

    Not that I'm aware of, I clean the feeder regularly to prevent this, and make sure not to leave foreign objects in their run, although I do have neighbors but I'd like to hope they wouldn't mess with them

    Isa red rooster

    I need to find a home for my rooster reba, he is a good boy, 5 ish months old, hasn't started crowing yet, nor does he have his spurs. We have too many roosters and I don't have the heart to cull him so I figured I'd try this first. We live in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia.
