Thank you for the very detailed regimen! My guy looks to be improving slightly but I will get some sunflower seeds as a part of my continued treatment. It doesn’t seem to be getting worse, so that’s good!
Hi! Another question...
my hen has a 4 week old chick with her in coop that she’s been caring for. She layed an egg yesterday. Does this mean in the world of chicken that she’s done mothering? Sorry for silly question but I’m new to all this!
