I agree. I have a large piece of commercial carpet that I can just hose off to clean for babies. Spraddle leg is common and easy to remedy if kept up on.
When we purchased Easter egger hens one turned out to be a Rooster. This happens sometimes, but unfortunately we can't keep him as we already have 2 roosters. If I remember correctly he is about 4 months old. We are in the North Western Arkansas area.
