    HELP! Injured Chick - Leg

    Hi all! I had 2 chicks hatch 9 days ago and all has been well until today. I noticed one of them was laying down at the feeder to eat and when I went to reach into the brooder she hopped up and limped under the heating plate. Her leg seems to be causing some pain but it doesn’t look broken...

    Sexing/Guessing 4 week old Light Sussex chicks :)

    Egg production is great, they started late compared to other breeds (about 30 weeks) but I was expecting that. Most days I get an egg each from them. Even though they started at the beginning of winter they’ve continued to lay consistently throughout (I’m in Australia). We had one go broody...

    That’s her behind the cockerel, I gotta say I’m reeallllyyy disappointed that those two have yellow legs, they are probably the 2 best looking out of the flock aside from that trait coming through.

    Help - Injured Light Sussex Cockerel

    Hey All, Just a note to start that I’m pretty upset with myself about this so please be kind. I have a 22 week old Light Sussex Cockerel that I had a spiral leg ring on, despite it being quite a large size and flexible I noticed that it seemed a bit tight while I was checking them all 2 days...

    Perhaps it could’ve been a mistake further up the line that has come through in Nugget and Itsy Spider. Probably went unknown by the breeder that I got them from though because her whole flock are your typical white legged Light Sussex.
