Hello friends,
Sad day. I lost another one of my girls yesterday to the neighbors pitbull. *sad face*
But this means I have only one girl left. She is still mourning the loss of her sister (sitting on one of her feathers in the middle of the yard--heartbreaking) and quite distraught to be...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Golden Comet, almost two years old, normal weight (she's the 'biggest' in size, but lighter than her dense RIR & Leghorn sisters)
2) What is the behavior, exactly. Yesterday I noticed she...

I have a seven week-old Brown Leghorn with the following attributes/symptoms:
* skinny--she's much smaller than my RIR, Black Star and Golden Comet, although the same age
* has a "bony" chest--I thought this was just her breed, but now after reading more think it might be bound or impacted...
Hello experienced chicken moms and dads! I'm a newbie to the BYC family, but I've already spent hours reading through posts of helpful information *laugh*
I have a question of my own regarding chick behavior. I have four two-day-old girls: one Rhode Island Red, one Black Star, one Golden...
