I have a sick hen, Miss Bitey the Speckled Sussex.
She's gone lame in her right leg, breathing a little labored. She had a huge poop and it had a three inch long roundworm in it.

I want to get some new Brahmas but I'm not sure where to go to find some?
I live in Oregon (Silverton) and I'm not sure if there are places still going on during pandemic time that have bird shows.
I can't seem to get really any straight answers about their HEIGHT and WEIGHT.
I have a female who is only two weeks old and I'd like to know if I can pair her with my Light Brahma Rooster eventually.
Is this normal? He's not that old and he's begun to crow.
He was born April 24th 2020, so 2 months 2 weeks old.

Raspberry, Zebra and Miss Snugs hanging out with Quail.
Her name is Barbara.
