    Chicken with hurt leg

    I just discovered my 23 week old dark brahma hen will not put any weight on her left leg. It does look like she broke off a nail completely. It isn't bleeding and her toe looks OK. Is there anything I can do to help her? She is my baby and I am worried sick.

    Male or female dark brahma?

    By 6 weeks old, my roo's were acting very different. They were very confrontational. They were constantly challenging each other.

    The picture is on page one. They ended up being 3 roo's and 1 hen.

    She is beautiful! Before getting chickens, I had no idea how much they would come to mean to me!

    You are correct. Once I look back at their pictures, Scrambled is the only one with the eye liner. This is my baby now. I love her to death!

    OK,the one in the back is Scrambled. The other two are roosters. quote name="sgorajec" url="/t/1135064/male-or-female-dark-brahma/30#post_17976462"]I don't think you can really tell.

    I don't think you can really tell. The gentleman I got mine from raises dark Brahma's and said he was very good at sexing them and 3 of my 4 he was wrong. They were roosters. It was interesting, two of the boys looked almost identical when we got them at about a week old and the other two looked...

    Well, Salty, Pepper and Nugget definitely turned out to be cockerels. Luckily, a friend of my husband's took them all in. I went to a nearby hatchery and got 3 barnevelders. The integration went pretty well and they are all getting along well. My only female brahma, Scrambled has turned into a...

    Ok, I'm going to trade the three cockerels for three pullets today. I hope it all goes well with Scrambled.

    Male or female dark brahma?

    Ok, any advice on how I introduce three new pullets? I have looked at a lot of the posts about introducing new chickens and not sure what to do. Thinking about getting 3 new pullets about the same age and once they are acclimated, get rid of the three cockerels so that Scrambled isn't alone. I...

    I'm still holding out hope that Nugget is a pullet. Her head is more petite than the two boys. I'm new at this and we bought them from a guy off Craigslist who told us they were girls and I didn't know any better. I am planning on reaching out to him and see if he has any more girls around the...
