    Birds nesting in coop

    A pair of starlings decided to raise their babies in my coop..could this be a problem? I know how messy bird nests can be, I don't want to expose my chicks to possible parasites. Thoughts?

    so my flock is growing and im not sure of the breeds

    Barbie looks like she has some Silkie in her, not sure what else though.

    I'm a newbie -- Any help identifying these chick breeds?

    I think the first might be a red star (sex linked) and the second might be an Easter Egger. Does it have fluffy cheeks?

    please help me

    The second looks like a OEGB, and the last looks like a white Silkie.

    A friend of mine brought me a hen today, with what seems to be a dislocated hock joint. She has feeling and movement in her thigh, but below the hock her leg just hangs limp.
