Hey Everyone!
I’m from Melbourne, Australia and I recently bought a new Isa brown hen. I noticed she had an underbite and was later informed she had been debeaked in the battery hatchery. My hens free range my backyard and I’m always out helping them turn soil for worms. Delilah can eat and drink food I give her, however, she can’t seem to preen herself that well and foraging looks like hard work. Is there anything I can do to make things easier for her? Should I set up another worm garden just for her? Or will she gradually become better at this? I think she’s about 15-16 weeks and hasn’t laid an egg yet
