Called vet and she won't prescribe over the phone.
They want to see her. $45. I can't afford that.
So I will just keep cleaning the area and applying neosporin.
She is eating feed and chasing bugs every now and then, stops droops wings like an eagle until she see something else.
Thank you...
I kept her inside last night. She is eating and drinking.
I let her out and watched her as she joined the flock.
She took a few steps, did a poop and then walked to the other birds.
She walked to them, then drooped her backside
and out comes a egg with out the shell.
Couple of the others ate it...
Thank you for the quick response.
I brought her back inside and put her in a crate.
She had not moved from the spot I placed her.
I took several pictures but I have to wait until my son comes home

Today I noticed one of my chickens acting weird.
She was alone and not wandering the yard with the rest of them (10).
When I went towards her she did not flee. She just stayed put.

We have one that has layed three eggs, one a day.
So far all of her eggs had double yolks.
The other layers are laying much smaller eggs with a single yolk.
I hope this is normal and will she settle down and lay single yolks?
This was the...
Dave from Fremont, New Hampshire.
I was a keeper of bees for 20 years but a
bad back took me out of the apiary.
So we decided that chickens might be
a good family hobby.
We just started this May with 13 white wyandottes
and a dark Brahma roo (mystery bird).
We will be keeping them for eggs.
Thank you every one for the quick replies.
Being a "roo" that might explain the tough guy routine.
He is gentle when we hold him but will peck your face if he gets within reach.
Again thank you for the welcome and replies.

Here are two pictures of the mystery chick we got in May this year.
We bought 25 Wyandotte (26 arrived, one passed away a week later) and this mystery chick.
She has...
