Handsome boy!Hi, I got a new roo and was wondering if I could submit these photos
He is a 1 year old Ameracauna/Olive Egger mix. I took the pics today. I call him Roger.
She’s my baby
she literally follows me around so close that I have to watch where I’m stepping or I could smoosh her 
Indē went to live with her 2 batch sisters today.. they're going to keep trying to straighten her legs#1
This is Independent-Leaner aka Indē -Lena.. Indē for short.
She's crippled but a determined will to live, it's incredible!
She's a 14 wk old hy-line by RiR/shaver cross and according to her sisters, is due to start laying in a week or two.
I've tried splints to straighten her legs/toes which was working for a while but without anyone to help hold her I couldn't continue. Unsure if she will be able to lay eggs because of the angle of her hips means her short life may have to come to a close soon.
Her will to live and determination has been so strong I couldn't make the decision. When she hatched her sisters held her up to eat. They sold at 10 wks old.
Sadly, it's getting to that time of having to "be cruel to be kind", I don't know if I should let her try and lay an egg or just let her go. (Anyone else who has had a chick like Indē that has any advice would be greatly appreciated) She's still growing but without help to strap her legs, I feel that she's doomed.
Indē lives in the kitchen in a crate so she can't hurt herself, but because of the constant rain she can't go outside often where she slips too much an trips over but she gets to hobble around the kitchen and talk to her mumma who's currently in another crate slowly recovering from pneumonia.

fingers xd it works enough to lay eggs safely
Yeah she's gorgeous and personality to boot. When ya pick her up, she leans in for a cuddle. I miss her already, she's gone with the family who bought her sisters.. almost said I was going to keep her. Feel like I should have
Um, only one of Indēs pics is an entry.. I didn't know which one would crop ok. the others were just to see if the resolution is high enough. Please only use one.. I was planning to get a decent one of teenie, the white... Question, what's gsl? And where's the leghorn from? They're all RiR/shaver X hy-line
