My six month old lady appears to have developed a hesitancy to put weight on her right foot. Sometimes she stumbles a bit to that side but never falls. She also seems to lean a lot on that side to feeding box or other stationary objects. Thoughts?
Apparently, these ladies are Red Junglefowl. Is that true? About twelve inches tall and base of neck to rump (not tail) about 8 inches. Given to me by a neighbor. Thanks!!
One of my ladies seems to have a bald spot and a comb that has gotten a bit smaller. She has been broody for two days in a row and when I moved her she was very docile which is not normal for her. I can pick her up, move her wings and she shows no resistance. She stands fine when I pick her up...
A lovely family came by, saw my hen house, and asked if I could adopt their hens. Can you help me identify the breed? I took them in and they are very sweet.
I have eight hens and production has gone way down in the last two weeks - FRIGID temperature! Down from 7-8 eggs daily to 3-4 a surprise today: a perfectly round egg that is about 3/4 inch in diameter!! Ideas?
Hello! David, here - a.k.a. Hens1952. First timer - my wife and I rented three Red Comets and a coop and now own the ladies and built a coop from a kit. Love the cluck sisters! Will be getting two more - any tips on acclimating them to be happy together?
