Hi guys,
We currently have our own small flock (3 Chanteclers and a motley crew of pullets) and my friend asked me if she could relocate her chickens to my place while she went away for work for a month. I have her RIRs in a completely different enclosure because I didn't want to spread any diseases to my flock.
She dropped them off yesterday and I noticed they had really "ratty" looking bums, and some frostbite on their cones/waddles (we're in Quebec). Attached are some pictures.
-these birds have been in a coop with a small run attached to it until they moved here (they're basically staying in my straw storage with an impromptu coop, so deep deep bedding, access to outdoor run and quite a bit of windbreak during the day)
-they are 7-9 ish months old if I remember correctly
-they are not lethargic
-they're laying well
-poops look normal
-they’re on good quality food
What do you guys think are going on, and how can I help these poor ladies?
I’m not terribly worried about the frostbite, I’m just going to let it clear up on its own since they’re now protected from wind and draft.
