I have a chicken that is just over a year old that has recently started laying soft eggs. Today I found her in the corner of the barn bleeding, with what may be a prolapsed vent (although I have never seen one before). I have her in a tub of warm water now. Please, help, what should I do??

Quote: Thanks! Yes, she is fluffy, and is a real sweety, too. Poor girl gets carried around all the time by my 4 year old, but she doesn't seem to mind.

Whew, that's a big relief. I don't think I could take learning that more than half of my chickens are roos. Thanks, everyone, for your help!

Here's the blue laced red: And the dominiques. They are a bit camera shy.

Here's the rest of the gang. I aquired three more chicks along the way and were told that they are also female...My fingers are crossed!!! The last two are the remainer of the original 6 (that were suppose to be girls!).

Quote: You crack me up. I'm pretty sure that the others are girls, but maybe I'll run out there and take a few more pics!

I can't believe this!!! I'm so sad.

Here are a couple more pictures...

Quote: Holy cow. I can't believe this. I just took more pictures and am uploading them now.

Quote: The wattles and comb seemed to have gotten bigger and redder recently. I'm in Charlottesville, Va. If "she" is a he, I would trade you!

Quote: Are you serious???? I'll see if I can get a better pic...

Crap, I guess I've been in denial. I bought 6 "female" chicks from a lady who said she could sex them. This is the 3rd one she got wrong!!!

Are either of these a roo?? I've heard crowing the last few mornings, but I thought I only had girls!! They are almost 5 months old and no eggs yet (or from the others who are the same age and look more pullet-ish then these two). Please tell me I have a talented girl who can crow!

Now the snake is gone and I have no idea where it is. My poor chicks would hate me if I brought them back inside. It's been raining here for days and they were so happy to go out this afternoon.

That's funny! I was hoping for some nice trick to get it away that didn't involve me touching it!! I tried to shoot it with a b.b. gun but only had 1 pellet. I can't find the extra b.b.'s.

A black rat snake is in the tree stalking a cardinal's nest. I've tried to knock it with the broom but it just moves up the tree. My 6 week old chicks and 4 week old guinea's are in small pens about a hundred yard away. What should I do? Will the snake get my chicks? How do I get rid of it...

OR is it still too early to tell...anyone? please? help?

The top one is the most outgoing and dominant of the whole bunch. She/he has also been making sounds in the morning that could possibly be a crow in the early stages. They are both 6 weeks old.
