Drumstick Diva....Can I put her back in the coop tonight and just take out the nesting box so there is nothing but a dirt bottom with a perch, do you think that might work, being the nesting box is gone there's nothing for her to sit in?
Rio Linda feed store has ducks, a variety of chickens and turkeys. They have great prices and a very friendly, helpful staff for first time chicken owners... I'm in Sacramento, ca. I think of us as Northern California. We also have a city across the river called West Sac.

She's still a bit lame. We made her a little splint to see if this helps her out. Now the other question is, I have to younger chickens, juvenile, and one is always hiding at bed time. She gets in the other yard and ends up in a tree. Now yesterday when we came home from the store and the red...
She was given a couple drops of shaved powder as we had no responses, but keeping a close eye on her and making her as comfortable as possible. She seems to be fine right now. If anything changes I'll let you know. Does anyone know why they shouldn't have Ibuprophen?
