Two of my chickens are sitting with chicks just now, which is leaving the last chicken, with both cockerals.
We had noticed she was going a bit bald where the cocks 'grab' her (back of the neck) but thought she was just getting a bit too much 'attention'
OH picked her up the other day, and she had poo stuck around her behind, and when we lifted her wings there were one or two little scabs.
Other than that, she seems well, appears to be eating and drinking, and is pottering about the garden with the two cockerals.
Is there anything we should be doing?
