    Brown Buckeye - Feathering not complete, sitting on hocks

    Hi all, looking for advice. I've read through everything I can find and I just come up with a lot of "maybes". I have a Brown Buckeye hen who is going on approximately 14 weeks. She started out great - the biggest of all the chicks, active, etc. About a month ago she started going downhill...

    Chicken Rescue??

    I didn't know where else to post this, and I'm sure it's hopeless but when I think of help for chickens I think of BYC!
