    Fertile eggs days apart

    Hello, I've been doing the chicken thing for 4 years, but this is my first ever broody hen. I'm trying to learn as I go and have found loads of useful information, however, there is one thing I can't really find an answer for. Initially momma had 4 eggs under her. It appears as though the other...

    Introducing my baby chicks to year old flock

    Thanks for your input! I'll keep going along. Today has seemed a little less pecking and more just chasing from the big girls. So we shall see!

    Introducing my baby chicks to year old flock

    I'd like to add to this thread, with additional questions about pecking. I've read lots of good points on introducing and integrating the flock in this forum. So, here's what I have so far: I have 2 "big girls" that are just past a year old. I have 6 "baby girls" that are 9 weeks. For the...

    Wobbly leg

    Yes, I have a lot of reading ahead. The first thing in my mind was common leg issues I've heard about with rapid weight gain and such. We will give her what we can and take every day as it comes. I am appreciative of this sight and the people who are willing to help!

    Wobbly leg

    Thank you! I definitely plan to feel around on her legs when she goes in for the night. I know that we've had them for several weeks, but I've been taking it slow on gaining their trust. I didn't figure stressing them unnecessarily was worth it. They just now, this week, would come to me when...

    Wobbly leg

    ...out of the run in the evenings and weekends when we're home. I'll head to the store for B2 in a bit. I greatly appreciate your assistance! *Note: we lost our entire flock to predators back in July, which my son didn't handle well, so he immediately panicked that her wobble legs meant...

    Wobbly leg

    ...you to see what her legs are doing. Just in cases it did have to do with food, I switched them back to the grower feed, but they still have access to the oyster shells if need be. I'm going out to check them now and will let you know if I see anything else. *I have not tried to touch her yet*

    Wobbly leg

    Hi! I have a 23 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte that started with a wobbly leg this evening. Now, I was at work all day, so this could have started earlier. I noticed her hobble and began to watch her closely. It appears as though her hock joint is moving side to side, like it jolts to the...

    Newbie

    Hello! I am new to backyard chickens. Hoping for funny entertainment and delicious eggs! I know there is a lot to learn, even though they seem like a pretty easy animal to care for. But with anything, it's more than it seems!

    Slipped tendon in chick, anyone ever try to fix this? Experiences?

    What did the hock joint look like to make you think it was a tendon issue? I have just noticed one of my 23 week old girls is limping around. While watching her walk, I could see the joint moving side to side, not the typical bend. Looked as though her leg would jolt to the side when she...

    Curved feet

    Update: Curly appears to be doing well. She's just as feisty as the others. She scratches at the ground when in the area I've set up in the yard. I even put a rod in there & she was the first to perch on it. So far she is well!

    Curved feet

    That's kind of where my thoughts were, but I have a lot of learning to go! Thanks again for all of your help & knowledge! Oh, and my 8yo says her name should just be curly, then. Haha!

    Curved feet

    Was able to be home for a bit & was able to get her out & on the garage floor for better pics. Do you think taping them, as suggested, still or just go with the vitamins. I'm clearly nervous about taping them....haha.
