    chook is limping, should i go to the vet?

    So this morning I noticed that one of my chickens is limping . I don't know how bad it is and i've left it for 8 hours while I was at school and I think it's a little better. It doesn't seem to be bothering her too much or slowing her down and I'm not sure how it happened. Do you think I should...

    Behaviour before laying

    My chickens having been acting very strange lately, they used to run up too the door the moment they heard it bang, they'd follow you around the yard and would be walking around scratching all the time. Although yesterday all they did was sit under the trees and drink water, meanwhile there was...

    Same breed but look and act completely different!

    I wouldn't be surprised if they were another breed we only saw pictures of a couple of breeds and thought they looked closest! As far as I know they haven't been laying but this morning I woke up to some loud skawking and clucking, no eggs but they're definitely very close!
