I see I will edit my previous post.

I didn’t really see what looked like a muff or even a polish bump on any of the chicks. But when I got the parents they were likely a littttle older than my chicks now so I’m not sure if that develops later or since they’re mixes they don’t have any of these traits pronounced. Also I’m sure...

Would have been very interested to see the egg of the broody hatch. She’s an olive Egger with blue for sure. The egg that hatched is my darkest brown but I do think she’s the same mix as Darkness. Anyways maybe next year for her.

To give you a hint that you can’t tell from the angle of the Darkness photo yes she has blue in her.

I know what I meant is my Wellsummer hens also have huge combs and waddles when compared to my other breeds of hens I have raised.

Yes this looks like a Wellsummer. The photos I posted were of mine as a pullet. They have exceptionally large combs and waddles considering they are hens!!

I’m not sure she’s from MT healthy. I think Ameracana mixed with something. I’m pretty sure my OE from the same hatchery is Ameracana X BCM This is Fae she could also be the blue egg mom but I feel like based on personality it’s Frankies

I’ll see if anyone else wants to play before I reveal. I have a pretty good idea because they didn’t all hatch at the same time.

These are the possible parents Wellsummer, BerthaEaster Egger, Frankie Olive Egger that lays Dark Brown Eggs, Darkness

Before I let my white crested black polish roo cross with my mixed flock I desperately was looking of photos of chicks. It was hard to find!! So I am attaching pics of the 3 chicks my broody is raising. One is an EE cross, Wellsummer, and I think the last is an OE cross. Can you guess which is...

Also today a tree fell on my house. It’s too heavy for me to life off without pulling it from the lighter end and maybe doing some further damage. Ffs.

Two have hatched! I left her with 6 eggs two looks unviable at my day 9 candle. I think one more has pulled. I thought hatch day was tomorrow but here we are!! One hatched from a blue egg and one from a dark brown egg (Easter Egger and “olive” Egger) I have a Wellsummer pipping they are all...

Thank you for your reply! This is what I was hoping for.

I have not separated my broody hen sitting on eggs. Hatch date should be less than a week from today 5/15 I have at least 3 eggs that seem viable. She is hunkered down in a nest box. In the last few days she hasn’t let others lay in her box (earlier they were and I was removing new eggs daily)...

Nothing good to report. She remains alive but with no improvement in leg function. I have been giving her B vitamins every day. When I give her epsom salt baths her legs twitch when I take her out but she cannot hold her weight. Despite regaining weight at points during the time I’ve been...

I live in Colorado but yeah Laramie is probably slightly closer than Denver or Fort Collin where I imagine labs are for Colorado. I have thought about the sling. I can’t maybe try to rig something up.

Sorry I am spamming but I pushed on the pads and the knees bent then the toes came down. The right leg which seems to be the worse off leg as she always seems to tip to the bad wing side did not bend as freely or fully as the other leg. I actually think it might be a little swollen at the joint...

I think I have B Complex and am familiar with giving them pills. I find it easier than forcing liquids. I’ll give it a go. Last time I was giving B vitamins I think I did a half pill. Is that was you do? She’s pushing out a lot of new feathers right now which was why I thought it was possible...

Ok I just checked on her again to see what up with her legs. She can move both of them they just don’t support her weight. I have her on electrolytes/probiotic occationally. She seems to really like it. Then I’ll give her just water for a few days. I guess for the hell of it I should get her on...
