So today is very warm out in Minnesota. Yesterday evening when I went to put my chickens up to bed, I noticed this chick sitting by herself on the ground. I thought nothing of it and thought it was normal. Today I go out there and she is hobbling on the ground and won't apply pressure to her...
I also have two more roosters that have finally decided they are going to show their maleness. If anyone would take all three, that would be great. If they aren't taken soon, we will have to kill them all.
