I have a baby, about 4-7 weeks old, it's tail has been pecked down to the bone (I don't know how) and he's trying to die. He's in a lot of pain and I think he should be put out of his misery, I was wondering if it would be possible to OD him with Ibuprofen. We're looking for the quickest, and...

Ok, so here is the issue. We are first time chicken owners and didn't exactly know what we were doing when we built my coop, so the nest boxes are higher than the roost bars, my hens and rooster sleep IN the nest boxes and so the hens won't lay in some of the boxes because of how dirty they get...
