It is funny too. I had no idea it was a thing until we got our girls last year. 😆

She is now back in the coup and pen full time. Here she is (the red one) with two of her friends a few days ago free roaming in the yard. 😍 She looks so much better now with many feathers, including her fluff, regrowing. Her limp only shows up as she skips when she tries to run. Thanks again for...

Thanks everyone. She’s doing quite well. Her limp is improving, and some feathers are regrowing. i let her visit the other three hens each day, but it’s slow going. They are bullies. Once she completely healed, I’ll begin reintegration in earnest.

I posted a new message versus replying. I wanted to know at what point should we stop treating the wounds? We clean and put Corona on every other day right now. Most of the wounds are scabbed over except for the puncture closest to her neck. She gets upset when we try to put salve on her...

Sorry about your chickens. Thanks for letting me know how resilient they are. Our chicken spent time with her best friend today in the yard. It seemed to perk her up. And we put a mirror in her enclosure. She was drinking a lot while watching her “new friend.” Please let me know how to get the...

Hi all, My husband and I come here often to learn how to best care for our four hens. We have only had them since Father's Day. Since we are new to all of this, I thought I'd join y'all especially since I need some advice nursing one of my hens back from being attacked on Christmas by my...

One of my hens was attacked by my parent's dog on Christmas. She lost many feathers, has some very deep wounds, and is limping on the leg where most of the injuries are. Her leg is not broken but looks to be very bruised. We have been cleaning the wounds and using corona salve every one to two...
