    Flat Ankle, What Is This and How Can It Be Fixed?

    Flat Ankle, What Is This and How Can It Be Fixed?

    One of our Rouens has something wrong with her leg where her ankle (or whatever the scientific term is) is flat instead of the usual right angle, and it can’t be bent back normally. It’s causing her to limp, which heavily restricts what she and what we can do with the flock. Originally we...

    Glad to be here!

    I’ve raised a flock of a fluctuating size (ranges from 2-15) for nearly 4 years now, had all sorts of hens and roos, and love every bird with all my heart. I created this account a day after some eggs from one of our two current hens and Ayam Cemani rooster who recently passed just hatched...
