My hens are about 6 months old and so far so good. Except Lucy. She had an ecoli infection that I treated and she not longer has the infection. Now she just has inflammation which we are treating with once daily shots. Every night they were going in to roost as chickens ought to but twice this week after dark I've found Lucy sitting in the run by the door and not safe inside the coop where her sisters are. Anyone know if perhaps she's not dealing well with the anti-inflammatory medicine or if perhaps the dark is setting in before she has a chance to roost? She also doesn't usually join her sisters on the roost but instead settles into a nesting box. Any ideas? Thanks!
