    Hen tucks herself in the corner of the coop

    So, about a week ago, I noticed one of my show hens was acting kind of funny. She was limping a little and had a few of her feathers missing on her back. Well, today when I got home, she was tucked in the corner, head first. When I would walk away and come back, she’d be standing and look ok...

    Please help Mangs Beak

    I noticed that Mangs beak is chipped and peeling. I also noticed a red spot. Should I be worried? Is this the reason why he's sleeping all day?
