My 8 month old bronze hen has been laying down more lately and that was worrying. It has had a slight limp for about a week but, we just assumed it was it being derpy as a turkey it is normally. Suddenly today it started to heavily favor its left leg over its right and had a hard time getting...
I have 4 Rhode Island Red hens that are 6 months old and a five month old bronze turkey hen. I just introduced 8 more chickens after three weeks of "play dates. They are all three-four months old with half bantams half normal. Day 1 was pretty ok some roughness but nothing too bad the turkey...
