    Hen acting eratic and clumbsy

    I noticed today that one of my hens is walking low to the ground (not upright like she would walk) and weebling around like she's drunk. She was also very skitish almost like she was on speed or something. She was with the flock in the yard foraging. She doesn't look sick, just acting funny...

    First egg

    I got my first BCM egg today. I'll try and get a pic and post. I know that their first eggs are supposed to be their darkest, but it is so dark and on the large side as well for a first egg.

    Pecking

    I have 17 BLRW and 3 BCM chicks that are about 10 weeks old. They are all the same age and have all been together since day olds. They are just getting to the point where I think I can start telling the sex. About 2 weeks ago I moved them from the brooder to the chicken house. They have all...
