So, seeing as BRs are the only chicken I've had long enough to comment on, that's what I'll do. I got my first chicken from the feedstore about 8 years ago. Wonder of wonders, the first eight chickens I owned were pullets. I do have an uncanny sense about chicken-sexing, No--I just picked two...
Nope, I have pelleted vitamins I'm giving her, and gave her a antibiotic shot. Her poo is fine, kind of orangey but normal otherwise. She's started standing a little now, and protests when I pick her up, so I don't think she's weak, and she extends her legs when I do pick her up, so she's not...

Hm....by next year, I will have 3 degrees, and in two years, I will have 5 degrees.
That being said, I work as a receptionist right now.
I'm allergic to coffee
When I was younger, I was National-High-Point Champion and National Grand Champion for our particular breed of horses.
I despise...
