https://youtube.com/shorts/f6VYybwlxkU https://youtube.com/shorts/MhBXc0r8iKw Uploaded as private videos on YouTube since I can't attach as a file here. I'm hoping tomorrow looks better since I've only had them about 5 hours.

I've read the link but I'm a very visual person. I looked up some images and I think Eileen may have a slipped tendon in one leg. The joint is slightly larger than the other and she does hold it out to the side like some of the images but I've never even seen this before. I've had chickens...

Thank you. I'll look at the link right now. Eileen, the barred rocks is opening her eye more now, its definite enlarged and she's likely blind in that eye as its somewhat cloudy looking. Kate, the Bantam, has managed to drink water without assistance and walk sort of normally for a few inches...

My daughter's friend contacted us when her Agway got in a new shipment of baby chicks earlier today. 2 were special needs. A Barred Rocks with an enlarged eye and a Bantam with trouble standing and moving. A brief Google search makes me think the eye issue isn't the coryza because the...

I am typically over-protective as well, but my daughter wants a career working with animals so I try to back off. She has to learn to take her lumps now so that when it really matters, she won't back down. Today Gallifrey completely ignored the cat and the big dog but continued to try to...

I should have made note that my daughter is 12 and nearly as tall as me at 5'7". While I'm not happy that he went after her she can handle it. Since the post, he has been on his very best behaviour other than biting my big dog while I was holding him (which I haven't done as much recently so...

I was actually just out there and stopped a few attacks on my little dog and he didn't challenge me too much. Not 15 minutes after that, I picked him up while watering them and he was absolutely sweet. 5 minutes after that he was rubbing against my leg looking for pets like a cat until my big...

I'm not a first time owner, but it has been many years since my last flock. I have a beautiful boy called Gallifrey as well as 5 females (he was supposed to be a female but mistakes happen). He's started crowing more lately but as it's only during the day it doesn't bother me much...

You have all confirmed my suspicions. Thank you very much. Now I just have to figure out whether to keep him or not. So far, he's incredibly sweet...my favourite in fact. Loves his belly rubbed and sitting on my hand/arm.

This is my first post to the forums. I have six chicks; about a month old. All are supposed to be Buff Rocks, but pictured below is my sweet odd ball. He/she has no tail (the others have 2+ inch tail feathers), is larger than the other five and is slightly darker than the darkest of the...
