Thank you all! Little dude tries to blend in with my little hens and does a good job being quiet during the daytime! Rooster #5 on my yard, for now lol
There's quite a bit of feathers around the coop. Her feathers are emerging as well.

I don't know how to get rid of the broodiness, but I had a broody hen hatch 1 baby and she would get off to drink water, so hopefully your lady is doing the same when you're not around. Best of luck.
So my chicken has been limping. She has scab looking spots on her foot and has watery poop. She's been laying down for a while now and has gotten a bit of a cut on her stomach from laying on it so much, and doesn't eat much but the vegetables we give her. She really likes squash. We've also gave...
