    Help please! Sick hen

    Hen was very sleepy. Brought her inside. She was very thirsty. Moving around now and eating but it's like the water she drinks goes right through her.

    First egg but hens not going into nesting box?

    I've wondered but have never heard her/him try to crow. She/he wagged her tail back and forth. Do roosters do that too?

    Here are some pictures of our EE x Cochin chick grown up. She's big and looks kind of like a rooster but I've never heard her crow. She wagged her tail like a hen when I was taking pictures. She used to be all blue like mom but now she is getting more and more yellow showing.

    EE or not?

    Yes he is blue. Unfortunately his colors don't show well in the photo. He doesn't have muffs but was supposed to be an Ameracauna. His legs are slate. He looks close to a blue wheaten but not perfect. Without the muffs I started wondering if he was grabbed out I f thewrong bin. I bought him from...
