I have been told this is a hen. I got two chicks from Agway 2 months ago. This is one on the right, and the sister is to the left.
Is this a rooster like I think?
Dont beat yourself up. There was a small chance she would get better. Thats why you held on. But when you saw it was beyond that, you did what you had to do.
I am not sure I could be so brave.
Funny I just asked a similar question regarding my two agressive hens. They are just plain mean. I have found them a new home on a small farm. They are getting picked up this AM actually.
I would rehome that one agressive one and hopefully the jail time will reform your other hen.
I have to chocin bantam mixes. They were my first two chickens. I have since added a buff orp., a buckeye, and 4 RiR.
The two black chochins are so mean to the others. They are the only two laying right now. They are so mean. Even to the buff who is so much bigger than them.
I dont really like...
Could it be failure to thrive?
Im sooo sorry!
I had three chicks look great from the farm, got them home, next morning they were lathargic, just laying there. I didnt know what to do.
Later that day they were gone.
We have 6 hens (2 chicks inside as well) out in the coop with run. I have had this hen since she was days old. I was told she is a Buckeye. She is the friendliest of them all. I dont have a roo.
Anyhoo, one day last week while doing my wellness checks on the hens, I noticed her leg was crooked...
