    Limping hen now has black poop!?

    Update: I have had her on vitamin B supplements since Saturday and she has been eating tuna for a couple of days (hoping to get more meats this week) and she is improving. Her limping is almost non-existent, still there but not nearly as bad. She is still isolated and have had no black poop. I...

They do get blueberries and at times blackberries and I've never seen black poop before but I'll give her some berries tomorrow and see...

    Hi

    Wow 60 chickens! If only I had the room. I've always thought about chicks but worry about what to do if I get lots of little roosters. Good luck with your little chicks!

    What breed(s) is my roo?

    Thank you all for the suggestions! I have always thought about what breeds he could possibly be but never knew where to look. To answer the question, he has no feathering on his legs.

    What breed(s) is my roo?

    He is three years old. Quite big, not overly heavy. Personality wise he is a bit of a womanizer. If he sees a hen he doesn't know he will chase her but very sweet to his own ladies. He will attack other roosters. His parents are unknown. Any ideas I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
