I feel the pain in that one. My beauties ended up crowing and my oldest child wasn't happy when we had to rehome. We now have 4 chickens, 2 dogs( they have been with us 9 yrs now) 2 new hermit crabs and a new bunny. I don't care if my oldest kid isn't happy anymore- I can't handle any more pets!!!!!

Such a shame,someone could have breed-back those healthy straight toe&foot genes. Sorry about loosing your guys. Hope they went somewhere they aren't restricted.

Cute chickie! Love all the names

I once had an English Budgerigar we adopted that was missing a foot and we called him "Noah" because he had "NO-ah FOOT."

Am I bad chick mama?? First girls are 9 wks tomorrow and there are 16 of them. Our EE screech, run and hide any time they have to come in for the night or time for me to check them or even just to play. I have tried everything!!
When I get treat out to give the girls, if the EE come to peck at it, I don't grab them to put them away as trying to win their trust.
Once we have them and they calm down, they'll even fall asleep in my hand or lap. When I'm sitting in the run they will jump on my foot or walk right next to me....it's just the physical act of reaching for them is what the issue seems to be. BUT it's extremely stressful getting them in each night.
For example; I will have string cheese, let chicks peck 3 bites then will put them away (petting, talking to them), no issue with any others.
I get the whole dominant chicks which these girls are NOT and only ones that ever got pecked but should they be still this difficult to come in??

When are you trying to get them in at night? Might be trying too early in the evening. Did you 'home' them to the coop first for a few days, before letting them into the run? Maybe they haven't learned that the coop is their safe spot yet. Were they heat lamp brooded? The sudden shift to a night/day cycle can really freak them out if they aren't used to darkness.

This is Stella and she was about 15 days old in this picture. She is a pip! Such a character.

Ee seem to be a little more flighty mine act the same. But at 12 weeks they put themselves in coop, just a little later than i thought they would.
