    We have had her for a full week and she is definitely not walking or moving correctly and hurting in her left leg/foot so I don't think it's exhaustion or traumatization. I will try olive oil and massaging the crop area just in case she does have this. I think she feels a little hard in that...

    Where can I get the purest real deal heritage chickens?

    Ok thank you for all of that information. I don't think I'd like shipping them either.. too much can happen and I don't want to stress them either.
