Two weeks in the new coop and two hurt feet, one closed eye and feathers off one head

[GinaNew York]

My girls are heathens! Our EE is missing feathers on her head and is lowest of the low, one had a foot infection on both feet and one tore out a toe when another knocked her off the roost, and yesterday we had one closed eye,

Good news is vetericyn spray and blukote is great for feet injuries and we painted our EE head with blukote so the others dont pick, neosporin and vetericyn eye wash and terramycin work miracles. We now have a purple columbian cross.

Heres a view of peaceful chickens enjoying the run and coop the smaller wire 1/2 INCH STILL NEEDS TO GO UP IN THE RUN so theyre only out while we work. The tire in the run holds 150 lbs of sand and they love it for bathing.

I will tell all of you who have no idea i read your advice that you are angels that kept our sanity!
