    Pale comb, wattles, lethargic, not eating

    Hi there. This morning I noticed one of my barred rocks has gone completely pale (photo attached), is lethargic, and won't eat. I checked her for mite/lice (none), her crop is fine, but she feels very skinny. The photo actually makes her appear pinker, she is almost yellow, especially around...

    Stressed Maran stopped laying - help?

    Hens protecting each other or what?

    Blue Orpington breeder in Southern California

    Hi there, I'm looking for an Orpington breeder in Southern California. I am a very small backyarder and can only add one chick. I would love to add a blue (or lavander) to my mix (won't even ask for a jubilee!). Look forward to your suggestions. Thank you!

    Help...Chick with hurt leg

    My 2-week old Orpington fell and hurt her leg. I can't tell if it is broken, but she tries to stand on it and can't. Just pulls up the leg or lies down. I've seen some posts on splints/casts but was hoping someone could send example photos or give some sage advice. Am I being too optimistic?
