Heard lots of noise coming from our coop today and went to check it out and one hen was chasing another one. I could see blood. We quickly removed her and got her inside to bath her and clean her up. Can we keep her isolated and save her?? She eating and drinking for us and seems completely fine...
We just got home from vacation and had someone taking care of our chickens for the last week so not sure if she had been acting differently. We saw that she was alive 7 hours ago when they came to check on the hens and give them treats. We found her just laying on the ground dead. Is this from...
Posted a few weeks ago but wanted to post again with updated pictures now that they are almost 9 weeks.
