    Sweetest Rooster, blue jersey giant w chocolate highlights- NE Massachusets

    "Teacup" is a gentle giant that I can no longer keep. He's just over one year old. Despite his size, weirdly, he always defers to other roosters. Hand raised, completely non-aggressive, yet very protective of the flock from predators. Size makes him pretty "hawkproof". Littleton MA, but...

    One leg completely floppy/nonfunctional

    Hi! Sorry to hear about your hen. My hen's break was too high up to splint or sling, so she built up a rough bone repair around the break after 1.5 months in a small space, but she doesn't walk well at all still. If you image google broken chicken leg (), there are good images of what to...

    Awesome! Because they're skittish, does after dark, or early morning work? Will be easiest to gather them when they're roosting. Do you want all of them? They're so sweet :).

    Mixed chicks: crests/Mohawks?

    Thanks! So you think that goofy mohawk is a crest? It's so tiny compared to the usual Polish puffball. Would these chicks grow to have partial crests I wonder?

    Mixed chicks: crests/Mohawks?

    I have 14 chicks right now from 3 broody hatchers... All of the chicks were fathered by either a blue jersey giant/orp (this guy: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/what-is-my-giant-guy.1176140/), or a silver laced Wyandotte roo, and one of many types of moms (Silv laced polish/lav...

    One leg completely floppy/nonfunctional

    So I ended up vetting it... Spiral fracture at the bottom of the large upper leg bone, just above the joint. Decided against surgery; too hard to splint the upper leg reliably;-- so just isolating/immobilizing while it hopefully knits/builds new bone. Giving extra calcium supplements so...
