    Not a mosaic...please help if you can 😁

    Hi! I incubated mosaic eggs and got...mosaics! But also one mystery. I figure it’s not a welsummer or crested cream legbar because the keg color isn’t right and there’s no crest. but it’s got the eye stripes and brown pattern...hmm..thoughts? Are Easter eggers the only green legged option???

    What are these???

    These were gifted to me and I have no idea what breed they are or if they’re boys or girls. They look like they are feathering out white. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cochin leg problem...progressively worse

    The second pic shows the joint on her second leg being literally at least twice as wide as the other leg. A broken leg is unlikely because the problem is the gigantic joint not a leg bone and also because it has come on gradually over the course of a month, not all of a sudden like an acute...

    Cochin leg problem...progressively worse

    My favorite Cochin...sweetest sweetie ever...has over the past month acquired a limp that has gotten progressively worse. It wasn’t a sudden injury and even a month ago I realized the joint on the bad leg was a different size. Today she doesn’t even want to put weight on it. Here are pics of...
