Hello everyone
I am a new member and have not had chickens that long. I have rescued a barnevelder hen. She is very big and is not walking very well. She has a very long piece of nail like a spur on the back part of her leg. We tried to file it down but its very hard to get rid of. Is that what is making her walk funny or would it be her weight? She is sitting down all the time and she hobbles. Would anyone have an idea what is wrong with her? She is around 4kgs. Thanks
