Hi, thank you. She definitely could have fallen off the perch. My girls are fussy at getting the space they want. My gut reaction was a broken neck resulting from a fall. I'm hoping that is it and not a horrible disease.
hi everyone, I'm hoping someone will have some ideas about what happened to my Molly. I went to collect eggs and do my evening lock up and found one of my aracanas on the floor of the coop under the roosts. She was laying flat with her head at a strange angle and she did not try and stand or get...

I have 4 eleven week old New Hampshires that all look very similar and no signs of crowing yet, however something about this one makes me think it might be a boy. We are hoping all girls, any thoughts?

I had some issues with a week old arucana chick pecking the eye of a same age leghorn, didn't appear to actually cause any damage and it stopped after a week or so. Funnily enough they are now 4 weeks and the leghorn in question seems to be top bird.
