    Paralyzed Leg

    I will our vet's assistant is going to stop by tomorrow. She has raised chickens a long time. I'm hoping she can at least figure out what's wrong. My girl is not improving. I have to help her get to her water and food now. She still eats and drinks just fine. And her poop is still normal...

    Paralyzed Leg

I'm just stumped as to what happened. he "best chicken friend" is having a hard time too, I think. They...

    Paralyzed Leg

    I put the vitamins in her water Saturday. So far no change. My husband said we'd watch her one more week.

    Plucking the neck?

    So glad you posted this question. I have three almost year old chickens that look just like this. I was wondering what was going on with them too.

    Paralyzed Leg

    Thank you!! I'll go get vitamins tomorrow. I called my vet. He doesn't take care of chickens but his tech has a horse and chicken farm. He is going to get her to call me.

    Paralyzed Leg

    My sweet Buff Orpington has a paralyzed leg. Two weeks ago she stopped wanting to fly up to the roost so I would help her up. Last week she started wanting to sleep I the nesting box. I'd put her on the roost. She would fly to the nesting box. This past weekend she started hobbling and couldn't...

    Which Ones Do I Add to My flock?

    Thank you. The white ones do have a few small black flecks. I was doing a little reading on here. Are gold stars and cinnamon queens the same or close? I have two gold stars and while they don't look like the cinnamon queen, they do have the exact same colors.

    Which Ones Do I Add to My flock?

    My girls and I went and got our new chickens today. The sweet little old couple that advertised the choices I listed above were such a joy to talk with and walk around their farm. I've come to realize chicken people and farmers are some of the best down to earth people. When we finally got to...

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    I live in the Fox Valley area, WI. I am new to chickens--got my first six in early June. They are now 4 1/2 months old. I really wanted 10 to start with but my husband said let's go slow. Now he thinks we should add 4-6 more to the flock. I've been checking craigslist every day. No one seems to...

    Thank you. I'm loving having them and getting to know their different personalities. You are spot on with the silver laced Wyandotte. She is the definite ring leader already. Her name fits her--Queen Tracy as named by our 6y/o. I can't wait to see the EE's eggs. She has pretty greenish blue...

    Thank you!! I've learned so much from this site and from "the chicken chick". It definitely makes me feel more confident being able to reference this site which I do several times a day.

    They are doing GREAT!!! We got 2gold stars, 1 Easter Egger, 1 silver laced Wyandotte, 1 black Australorp, and 1 buff Orpington. I have them where they will follow me to the coop at night after roaming their larger fenced area all day. One of the gold stars will eat out of my hand and let me pet...

    First Flock Breed choices.

    I did it. We are the proud chicken parents of 2 gold star, 1 Easter Egger, 1silver laced Wyandotte, 1 buff Orpington, and 1 black australorp. They were cooped up in a large dog kennel for the 1 1/2 hour ride home. I'm guessing they're still a little unnerved as they are staying all pushed as far...

    First Flock Breed choices.

    I am getting my first chickens this Thursday. YAY for me :). My choices have been narrowed down to Easter Egger, gold star, silver laced Wyandotte, buff Orpington, and black australorp. My heart is set on the Easter Egger. The lady I am getting them from only has one Easter Egger, 2 gold...

    Thank you everyone!!! I feel like I'm so overthinking this. But after reading all about the breeds in the breed section and searching everything I could find about the gold star, Wyandotte, and Orpington I know I can't go wrong with any of them. Just a matter of figuring out which one thank you...

    I am getting my first pullets this Thursday. I think five is a good number for my first time. I've narrowed my choices down to Easter Egger(breeder only has one), Gold Star(2 available), silver laced Wyandotte, and buff Orpington. Keeping in mind that I live in Wisconsin and need a cold hardy...
