So I had a chicken like this. We didn't know what was wrong with her and she really wasn't doing well. She was waddling around for a couple of weeks and was in and out of the house. We took her to the vet and turns out one of her eggs had missed the fallopian tube and had developed in her...

My neighbor got four 2 day old Rhode island bantams and her only hen of the group died when she was a chick. My neighbor hand-raised the chicks and wrapped them in hats and sang them to sleep. I would chick-sit them and they were the most loving chicks. Now she has 3 roos and they follow her...

I have good news for everyone! Bernadette (the other one) is now with the other chickens. She still has a limp and the mean one still picks on her. But MY chicken Thelma takes care of her. All three of the Brahmas are scared of the Silver Laced Windotte (Imajean). When I go into the coop/run...
