This morning I noticed my hen started drooling for the first time,which she has never done before. Is there any chance this could be a sign of sickness?
Yes she has injuries and just noticing now a bit of a limp. She want the only one introduced she had several others she used to live with. We found her and her other hens on the side of the road. Tried to find the owner but no luck, so don’t know how old she is. I’ll post a picture of her poop...
For the past few days this chicken has been pretty weak and only just starting to eat and drink again. She is new to the flock and was picked pretty bad by the other hens. Any ideas what it could be and what we should do?

Thank you! I actually do have a couple older hens, and a hen with a chick which she is currently raising. We had a bantam rooster last year that was quite mean and would attack both the hens and people, but he wasn’t raised with older hens around. Fingers crossed that this one will be a good boy.
Hi, about 8 weeks ago, I got 6 chicks from tractor supply, and one of them, a golden laced sebright bantam, is most definitely a rooster. He really is a sweetie and is very friendly to hold, but I am worried he will get aggressive with age and cause distress to the hens, as other roosters have...
As of this morning, when I went out to take them outside, one of my seven chicks appeared very weak, standing in one spot with her head tucked in. She also told occasionally closes her eyes.I tried feeding her her favorite foods but she still refuses to eat. What should I do?
