Hey I'm sorry!! I dont get on my very often. She seems to be doing better, I moved her back outside into the barn. She was seperated from the rest until yesterday, i opened her pen to clean and feed/water her and she hopped out and flew outside with the rest of the flock. I let her stay with...

I haven't splinted it. I'm not really sure how, I just did the sling.. I can't feel a break any where, so I don't know where to begin.

I made a sling for her does this look okay? I'm noticing her hurt leg is shaking. Is there something I can do for the pain??

OK thanks i do have oyster shell. I have to get some fruit for her. We currently only have apples, celery and carrots!!

Shes been away from the others for about a week now. I have broody boxes, I put her in one of those. I think i might keep her inside for a few days so i can watch her better. She seems pretty skinny in comparison to the rest. We lost part of our flock earlier this year (it was her "sisters") so...

It feels like bone, I'm wondering if it's "normal" for her. I did notice her left leg seems to have less muscle tone then the other.

It's hard, I was just "feeling her up" and I'm thinking that it might be her leg broken... I know one of the cockerels was pretty rough, not sure about the other one. She has only been in for a few hours, when she was separate from the rest in the coop I noticed she wasn't eating or drinking a...

She can stand, she tucks her leg up. When she does put it down she wont put weight on it.

So we had 2 roos in our coop a little to long. They took a favoring to my bared rock.. They went into the freezer when I found my girl pretty beat up.. She had a pretty bad wound on her head which is all healed... But now she isn't using her left leg, seems every time she tries to walk she...

Omg!! Luckily I also got 5 others that I know for sure were pullets.. (Look like bared rocks but are sexed.. Hmm)

That's what I was afraid of :(.. That makes 5 out of the 6 bantams I took a chance on...roosters ... I'm located in lower vermont.. Now I have to rehome 2 Sebrights, and 2 red Cochins lol!

I'm so confused!! I think that 1 of these chickens is a rooster. (I have seen one crow a few months ago).. Well we are trying to rehome the roosters and now I can't figure out which (if not both) is the roo. They are 6 months old.. Chicken #1 (I colored the comb to know for sure who was who... )...

Thanks everyone, my husband suggested keeping them for the freezer. But because they are bantams I second guess that. It's hard to find homes for roosters in my area. I think I'll try rehoming 2 of them. Our barn is about 8x12 and they have a small outside yard, and free range when we are home.

So I took my chances on non sexed Bantam chick from tractor supply. Ended up with 3 roosters!! So my question is should I rehome these little guys or keep them and see how it goes?? I have only had 1 rooster who I lost him last year when we lost our whole flock to a bear... I have 6 bared rock...
