Is it normal for a chicken with an impacted crop to poop normal droppings and still be laying?

I say 10 weeks is a good age to begin free ranging them together. Earlier this year we had a similar situation. 5 hens that were a year old and 5 new pullets. My advice is that when you do begin free ranging them together, keep doors to both big girl and baby coops and run areas closed. We had a...

These are pictures of our EE when it was 7-8 weeks old. Don't have any recent pictures but it is now 12-13 weeks old and displaying some rooster-ish behavior and the skin around the comb and wattles is getting redder by the day. Hen or roo? The light colored bird is the one in question

That's the same spot where ours is wounded. It doesn't like bad at all. This picutre gives me hope for her :)

Yea my husband is worried she may never grow back feathers in the area. I think it's torn down to the skull :^/

And you know what's really strange? The bully that hurt the little one is actually either the lowest in the pecking order of the big girls or second lowest!

Ok, guess it's a good thing that I couldn't care less if my birds are Ameraucanas or EE. And you offered no info to answer my original question.

Thanks for the info and pictures! What shade egg did the bird in the last picture lay?

This is our 4-5 week old Ameraucana/EE. We are curious as to how she will look as a full grown and feathered bird. We know this is not something that can be predicted with 100% accuracy, but we are curious if anyone has any pictures of their birds that had this coloring as young chicks and how...
