    Question one of my chickens looks bloated and I believe this is the problem. When should you make the call to assist? She appears normal aside from what looks like a golf ball under her feathers and moving her head and neck from side to side from occasion.

    Is a bad leg a death sentence?

    Hello from Il.

    Thank you for the welcome. This is the picture right after completion and have moved the lamps based on how the chickens rest, closer to the light to cold farther away to warm.

    Is a bad leg a death sentence?

    hello. This is my first batch of chickens, and second post on this site, and I’m not sure what to do. We purchased are birds from Big R about three weeks ago and I just noticed today that the smaller of the two turkeys has a bad leg. It was always a little “needey” the first two weeks. My wife...
