    Help! Large Wounds/jaw fracture on chicken

    Should I do the wound care even if the scabs are rock hard and intact? I’m almost worried about softening them because they seem like they have formed a thick barrier on her wounds.

    Any ideas on breed and gender for these 9 week old chicks?

    Hey everyone! Any ideas on the gender or breed of these babes. I got the fertilized eggs from a farmer and let my broody hen hatch them back in May. One egg was brown and one was green. Not sure who came out of what...
