Hi CG – do you mind if I pick your brains? We have 5 hens, recently one that was a couple of years old died of an unknown cause. Today I found one covered in blood but apparently uninjured – another is in a really poor state with a length of bowel hanging out of its backside. At the same time one that has been broody for the past couple of weeks has become very pale and seems to be going the same way as the first!

possibly they are restoring the pecking order - fighting it out - try putting some small toys/little footballs/apples hanging from strings in with them to distract them. or watch them see which is the bully and pen it separately for a few days , in the cooler |
