    Vet Wrap Leg Warmers?

    We have two hens with a vet wrap leg warmer/leg band to mark them after injuries earlier in the year. I like vet wrap for this because it's flexible and seems to do less damage to their legs compared to other bands I've used in the past. Fast forward to winter and I've noticed one hen who has...

    Swollen wattles - frostbite!! Help!

    I've never had an issue with frostbite but this is my first year owning a rooster... It seems they're more susceptible to it. It's gotten down to the negatives and my poor rooster has suffered. He's a leghorn with a big comb and big wattles so he's not considered a winter-hardy bird and I...
