Thank you ill try it

I got a chick from a friend at 4 days old. She seemed to think the knee was dislocated so she put the leg in a splint. We kept it on for a week and the chick didn't use the leg much but still got around. When we took it off the chick had a cast sore but not unmanageable. Now the leg is kinda...

Thats a good point! We will see how it goes lol I just get so attached to them. Which is why I still have my loud roo 😅😂

I would love to! But I already have 5 hens and a rooster and where I live i can only have 6 chickens =( but I will consider it!

She didn't really mention the problem. I dont think she was sure. The chick is keeping most of its weight off the leg as is. She occasionally gets it under her and stands on both. And it's just the 1 chick so I have no buddies to watch. I've raised 1 group of chicks before so I'm still pretty...

So a veterinarian friend of mine dropped off a 3 day old chick with me that she splinted the leg on. She came across it in a feed store and they were going to euthanize it. I'm not exactly sure what is wrong with it. It's eating and drinking and I keep moving it to be near the food and water. It...

thank you guys so much! ❤

Nope! Im just a proud new mama lol

So its genetic and nothing bad? I just love them all so much but im new at owning chickens

I re-added the picture. I didn't notice that they were weird at first cuz she was growing and looked like everyone else but now that everyone is all filled out and sleek shes a poofy mess lol

I dont know how else to put it. Lol one of my lavender orpingtons feathers aren't smooth and flat like the rest of them. She doesn't get picked on that i see and she seems perfectly healthy and happy. Any ideas?? She is about 14 weeks old. A picture for reference...

Thank you so much for your advice! I just want my babies to stay home and be safe.

So I should clip just the 2 fliers and both wings you think? So they can't get high enough to get over the fence?

One fence is about 5 feet and the other is 6 feet

Hello! I have some questions regarding wing clipping. I had my first jail break today. One of my California White Leghorns ended up in a neighbors yard. They are about 12 weeks old and I also have Lavender Orpingtons and Golden Laced Wyandottes, but the whites are the problem children. Lol. I am...

My other lavender is a roo I think lol so thats why I didn't post him

So even if one of the whites base of the comb is more pink its not a big deal? i didnt pick out the chicks they were a gift i had planned on getting sex linked chicks since i dont know a lot about them yet and have neighbors lol

i made a post for sexing my chicks! the pics arent the best im sorry https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/i-need-help-sexing-5-chicks-that-are-almost-8-weeks-old.1381858/

I have numbered the chicks in the pictures. I need to sex 2 wyandottes, 2 california whites, and 1 lavender orpigton. Im pretty sure the lavender is a pullet. I am having trouble with the other 4 because i know california whites mature fast and have large red combs as hens too. And i know...

Thanks! Watch for my pictures tomorrow! Lol
