So I've been using these forums since I inherited a few chickens, you are all awesome people with tons of tips and tricks I've used as I learn how to raise chickens, so thank you all for the help.
I have another question that really hasn't gotten many answers here that I've found. One of my chickens was unfortunate enough to get caught on the bottom of the pecking order and they pecked the hell out of her butt till she was bleeding pretty good. I took her out and cleaned her up and separated her from the others and now she stays in a seperate coop by herself while she heals(she just decided to start molting the same week so it's taking longer than I expected) either way she has randomly started squeaking. I thought it could be from the injury and maybe her butt fused to tight but she's still pooping and because she molting I know she's not laying anything. Plenty of food and water and I change out her water daily, but she still fluffs up and looks like she trying to push a ostrich egg out and then squeaks. Any answer would be awesome to hear.
