Yes, when the days start to get shorter, like now, all of your older birds could molt at the same time. Young just starting to lay pullets might keep laying all winter, but extra light helps. I have a light that comes on now @ 8pm. Soon I will be turning on the light for them at 6 am, too.

You will need a new name, "Dorking Lady!"

With a nice scab, which that looks to be, I would not bandage it. Dry, Air, Clean. Maybe you could put a "look no touch" type of run out with her friends visible? Low, clean, lots of feed and water accessable with a bantam bud you mentioned? Birds will pick on an injured flock mate, and pick the...

Keeping a dressing on a chicken is difficult! Once the leg has scabbed over and is dry, not oozing or red or inflamed, I would see how she does without a dressing. Other chickens pick on the injured one, but if you have one that is mild mannered, your injured bird might do better with company...

I tried to look at my comment, but it is not showing. Long weekend, I guess. Let's all of us fill up their comments this weekend! When they come to work in the morning on Tuesday, there will be lots of work for the Federal employees, who all make more than us retired chicken owners! :lau

Maybe you need a Smart Car? No bells or whistles! Great mileage, holds 4 50 pound bags of chicken feed, if you do not bring your guy!

I would just go to your local Walmart store and get more Neosporin! Best wishes for your hen!

I put bait in a PVC tube, so the chickens can't get to it, I use the green squares ( I forget the name). Dead mouse in the yard today. Hens did not peck it, I put it in the trash!
