    Help! Splay leg?

    I hatched this baby from mystery eggs. I think it is a Brahma maybe.. I want to verify that this is splay leg or spraddle leg. I have braced it with a rubber band and a straw also also with a bandaid. No improvement. It’s about 30 hours old now. Is there any hope for it? It looks like a boy-...

    Can they get too cold in the rain?

    For some crazy reason, my girls are not going inside when it rains. It’s 60 degrees out and I just realized they were out and didn’t go into their sheltered area or in the coop.

We have been walking her up it and she can do...

    Hen or Roo?

    I’m pretty sure the red one is a rooster. I am looking for other opinions and does anyone know what breed it is? I hatched them and the lady I got them from told me they would be silver laced Wyandotte and that isn’t the case! They are about 2 months old.
