In the Brooder
HELP! I just checked on my girls and seen that my pretty polish, Polly is bleeding and has lost a lot of tailfeathers. It appears as if the others are picking on her.
I put her inside the coop temporarily. What do I do next? Clean her somehow? I have a large dog crate I can put in the coop to keep her separated while she heals.
I'm heartbroken...
8 hens total, about 3 1/2 months old, all purchased at the same time at the same age (when they were chicks), plenty of indoor and outdoor space, lots of food and scraps given each day... I am not sure why this would happen.
Any advice on how to care for her now and prevent this in the future is appreciated.
THANK YOU!
