    Curious as to why my new hen holds herself like this.....

    Thank you! I was wondering if it might be because she was kept in a small cage. I plan to take her to the vet on Saturday for a better evaluation. I will mention what you said. Her beak is too long and her toes look 'weird' (for lack of a better term). She will not be used for breeding...

    Curious as to why my new hen holds herself like this.....

    She is a rescue and I have her isolated... but I just couldn't leave her there! She holds her tail to the left constantly and maybe you can see how her toes are soooo long. She is... hesitant... in the pen, moving around very cautiously. She appears to ok, but that tail worries me. Her...

    3 out of 7. But I don't count the little bantam Cochin who hasn't laid an egg since she went broody last fall. So 3 out of 6?

    First GREEN egg.....

    Quote: The color is not quite right in the picture. The egg from Sophia is really darker than what it appears to be (I'm assuming you mean that one) and the egg from Nickle, in the front, that looks like a duck egg is really a lovely light blue.

    First GREEN egg.....

    So funny you should ask Artsy.... I have a VERY broody Cochin right now that is proving to be difficult to break.... but I am really happy with the size of my flock and don't intend to grow it at least until next spring. Yeah right!
