    They're a brown egg laying breed who has the fibro melanistic trait. Mostly white feathers with black spots. Here are some screenshots of the birds from the breeder I purchased my eggs from

    Bad leg

    Yeah, after working with it a bit, I can get it to bend. I'll have to give this a try.

    Bad leg

    Hello all. This baby is a week old. I noticed it hopping about in the brooder around a day after it hatched. It seemed to have an issue straightening it's leg or bending it. I tried splinting it overnight to give it more support. The next day, it started keeping the leg thrown back like it's...

    Here are my little cheepers, just shy of a week old. I have two showing issues. One has a splay leg, I have it in hobbles but the knee on the bad leg looks like it wants to bend the wrong way 😔 The other is starting to get a cross beak. They're both a little smaller than everyone else.

    Called out of work with a migraine this morning. Got woken up a couple hours later to frantic peeping. None of the others appear to have started hatching.

    Where to put door?

    Thanks. I'll have to research the best way to add enough ventilation

    Where to put door?

    So I am planning on purchasing a shed like this one that is plastic and has a floor. I'm liking the idea of doing the deep litter method. I'll have to add the pop door for the chickens, but I'm not sure how high up I should put the door so it doesn't get blocked by litter, but isn't too high up...
