had a hen die today.. she got in a fight with her sister the other day while i was asleep. head swollen and both eyes covered in blood and shut.. her sister died too because she was so bad she died during, so i grabbed this hen and cleaned her up real good... gave her vitamin water with a syringe daily and attempted to open her eyes but they would always close back. went out there today and she had died. sad site to see... luckily they weren't any of my favorite hens

I'm so sorry about both your hens Daniel. I had a problem with mine when I reintroduced a broody back into the flock. She fought groups of them and even the roo to get her place in the pecking order back. There was blood, but I didn't let it get out of hand and she deserved her spot and wasn't going to let up till she got it. Hens can be brutal.

Wow! I had no idea that they fight so rough. I'm so sorry about your hens, Daniel. That is really sad. Thanks for the heads up everyone!
