A few of our hens have that exact thing. We live in Southern California by the coast and I noticed the past couple months our turkey has been pecking at a bleeding toe, not sure of it is the same one that is missing, but yah she has a missing toe I noticed today. Again not sure if it was the...
My friend found a baby Delaware rooster on the street she brought him in and he does not have any disease. He's at least almost a year old and hasn't crowed once or attempted to mate. Yet we have some silkies way younger and they crow and mate already. Poor Delaware rooster is petrified of...
Same. Chickens can learn easily who gives them treats if the same person does it every time on a regular basis. Ours know what time to go in, an hour or so after noon. Why so early? When we all leave at 3 we can't keep them out because of coyotes. But yah when I get ready they all kinda walk in...

I honestly just care that she will live a long happy life c:

I do not know where she came from. Actually this is a farm at my school and I know she was hand raised by a student a couple of years ago from an egg. Also, how long do SL hens live for?
Thanks! Well stress shouldn't be a problem... She has like an acre to roam!! She is with people all day and she is the sweetest thing I have ever seen!! She lets you pick her up with no hesitation and gets along with the other hens great (like 38 others) However I do notice when she lays once in...
