I do have a FB that I post pics to from my phone. If anyone wants you can send me a PM and I'll give you my email.

Everybody is telling me to get a facebook (I have myspace). I thought that was for people over 25-30? Keep us informed on your babies Dawn!

I can't belive this happened. Last night when I came home from class the first thing I did was go to the back and see if the chickens were in bed. Zoii was but Eva, stubborn chicken, was still outside. So I crawled into the coop and picked Eva up and put her throught the coop door and shut it behind her. She made a fuss but she always dose that. As I was walking back to the house I heard the chickens make a loud cackle and I rushed back to check on them. It sounded like they were startled by something. I opened the top door and saw Zoii on a roost and Eva scratching around on the coop bottom. I didn't think too much about it and went inside. This morning I woke up and went outside to let the hens out. I had a flash light with me this time so I could see them and Eva was still on the coop floor with her leg sticking straight out and not moving. It dosen't look like she moved all night. I think it may be broken. I picked Zoii up and put her out in the run so I could look at Eva better. I picked her up and she didn't fuss or anything just kinda sat there. The left leg isn't oviously broken but she can't move it, she dosen't seem to notice when I move it, she can't move her claws and when I try to put her back on her feet she falls over loke a limp doll. I am so upset. I want to cry because I feel like I hurt my chicken but I can't. The only thing I can think of is she got up on one of the roosting post and fell off. One of the post was on the coop floor too. I think she may have fell when the post gave way. She just sits there. I brought her in the house to look at it better and I couldn't see or feel a break. I had to put her back out because I had to go to work. I wanted to stay home but my DH said I really needed to go to work and to see if how she is when I get home. I am so scared that I hurt her. I trembled the whole way to work. If anyone has any ideas please help. I don't know what to do. I don't even care that there was an egg out there this morning.

OH, no! I wish I could help. Have you posted in the Emergency Section? Maybe someone will know what to do.

Welcome jnkir7!


Dawn any more chicks?

Urban Dreamer how is her leg? You might try to make her a splint if it is her lower leg, if it is in the thigh are not sure if that would work. You may have to get her to the vet.

Funny ya'll were talking about facebook and myspace. Our Moms have them, so does my grandparents, and they are always telling us to get an account.

I saw my sister got in a really bad situation over myspace, and I don't think it's worth it to have information out there like that. I still refuse to get one, so does my wife

They say it's a great way to reconnect with people from the past, well I got an opinion on that too. Most people in my past I lost contact with for a reason, why would I want to bring them back into my life? I have stayed in touch with the people I wanted to, the rest of em can go suck an egg!

I personally would rather just email people. At any rate I have been so vocal in my opposition if I got one now I would look like a hypocrite, and I don't like looking like a hypocrite.
