    puffed up chicken, should I worry?

    Ok I will keep watching her. She's never been broody before, she's a very reliable layer and usually very active and friendly. The rooster with her is relatively new, and she does seem rather smitten with him. They are always together, and she's never acted like that before. Could that make her...

    Thank you Puddin Fluff, I'm happy to be here :). Thank you for the compliment on my yard Veer67, I suspected she was an Easter Egger, though your correction on my spelling was quite unnecessary lol.

I wanted to start off small, so this year I finally went out and bought four baby chicks, built a brooder out of an old...
