re: Tell me about raising chickens

As others have said they prettymuch take care of themselves as long as nothing eats them.
Though I will add that if you notice one bleeding on it's head, pull it out and either kill it or put it in a pen by itself. Bugs can bite them, or sometimes they just get pissy for whatever reason and peck each other. Maybe the contrast looks like a bug or something, but once a little blood is drawn others will peck that chicken until it's dead. If the bleeding hen pecks back, another one can start bleeding and the process repeats. I honestly wouldn't believe it unless it seen it first hand.
