I have 2 silkies a little less than a year old- one goes broody all the time and one mopes around outside by herself. Sometimes we think she is sick or injured. She seems to be off balance and will almost fall over. Any ideas? Is she depressed?
Does anyone else just have a few chickens in a suburbia setting? Third acre of grass and trees, maybe an occasional raccoon, neighbor cats, or a hawk to worry about? I want to be able to let the girls roam the yard during the day. Should I be worried?
