Id keep an eye on her, obviously. Make sure it doesn't get swollen and she doesn't start getting lethargic. Maybe you could get some vet wrap and wrap her wing to keep it in place.

What is your run like? Do you use hardware cloth or chicken wire? Its expensive but hardware cloth is the way to go to predator/dog proof runs and coops. I hope you can get past the loss :(

my barnyard mix babies 😊 the white one (Larry) has one random black feather on his right wing lol

Are you in Michigan by chance? Because I have the same problem 🙄 we had a late frost that killed a lot of apple blooms last week and now its a real feel of 94° today!

Also, brahmas are decent layers(4 eggs a week) and they are known to lay better in cold months

A standard chicken is about 10-12 inches tall, a bantam is usually 6-8 inches tall and a brahma is a breed and they can get up to 2 feet tall. Obviously genetics and breed type come in to factor.

Maybe she has chicken postpartum anxiety :idunno

I have 2 young 6 week old cockerels in need of rehoming. I'm in West Michigan if anyone is interested :)

I guess wide would be a better word to use lol

So I know the general rule is around 6-10 hens per rooster but I have 3 young cockerels and 13 hens. Will this be a problem?

Before covid hit I was a full time barber (waiting on our governor to give us the go ahead to get back) and My birds were complete, 100% free range. I'd make sure they had food and water and they'd just roam freely. Since quarantine is now my life, I've built them a new coop and pretty sizeable...

Im really impressed with myself considering I'm not a painter and I free handed the whole thing 😊

How day are they on? In the early stages you should see veins by day 7-10 and you will see the little creature move around and the yolk will still be a little sloshy

I made mine 2 feet deep with slots cut in them to fit around the studs

They usually put older ones in a bin and try to sell them for 25-50 cents a piece
