Thank you for this article it actually was the deciding factor on what type of chickens I would be raising! I am so happy that I made that decision because these birds are awesome. At 19 weeks we are still a few weeks off from egg-laying but they bring me much joy everyday. with that said, I'm hoping that you can help with a buff rooster who has balance issues. He is not using one of his legs, keeps it kind of kicked out from his body and using his wings to balance. Are you want there are no visible injuries, no swelling, redness or scaliness. We have treated him for bumblefoot and that hasn't worked. He does have mites and we are treating him now. But otherwise he's eating and drinking just fine. Crowing when he wants something LOL and overall enjoying the attention. Any ideas what might be affecting my beautiful fluffy butt? Thank you in advance! Sorry for posting here but can't figure out how to post in the emergency forum!
