    Thinking of getting a roo for my mixed flock

    I have a pretty mixed flock consisting of a Production Red, a Silver Laced Wyandotte, an EE, 2 Barred Rocks and 3 Orpingtons. One Orpington is trying to go broody.

A few weeks ago (maybe 3) he started limping around the same time I noticed a spur missing so I thought he caught the spur on something and injured his leg at the time. He otherwise behaved normally.

    Hi everyone! My name is Stacie. Several months ago I became a chicken person by accident. While sitting on my back patio a tiny little chickie came wandering through the yard. I asked her "are you lost?", she came closer to me and let me pick her up. She decided not to leave. She apparently had...
