    Help! My five year old cinnamon queen has a fractu/broken leg and it just hangs. What can I do?

    Got our first egg yesterday and our chickens are only about 18 weeks!

    We have 3 red sex links with one looking more like a golden comet/cinnamon queen, 1 Isa brown, 1 barred rock and 1 australorp. My daughters were so excited! My youngest took the egg from my older daughters hand and it accidentally fell to the ground. But it was really awesome to finally have...
