    10 month old golden Buff now limping! Help!

    Hi again. She seems to be doing better. Not much of a limp now, if at all. :) Hopefully it doesn't come back. She's laid and egg each day since as well, and is walking and pecking around the yard like normal. Though more to herself. I have also kept giving her calcium and vitamins. She was...

    10 month old golden Buff now limping! Help!

    Thank you :) I did put her with the rest of the flock yesterday afternoon. She was being picked on a little but not bad. She did seem like she was really tired and wanted to rest/or just rest her leg by sitting down. She does get up on her own and eat and drink though. I will keep a close eye on...

    10 month old golden Buff now limping! Help!

    Chicken attacked - safe to eat eggs?

    Hi. Hopefully I am posting in the right place. :) so the chicken that got attacked healed nicely and yesterday laid her first egg! The problem was she laid it outside behind a bush. So today I kept them in the coop to see if it would force her to lay in the box. She ended up laying on the floor...
