Hey guys and girls , I have just started keeping chickens about 8 months ago , my family has had them before for several years but I was very young at the time. Anyway now I started with 12 from tractor supply spur of the moment I had a fence set up 30x30 yds. Built a small coop 8x8x8. Sawdust and sand floors in coop. I think I have them set up pretty well. But I need help with a rooster that waddles and lays down to eat, got 12 new chicks a couple weeks ago one of them has a hooked beak holds her head like a hawk or eagle and that's what her beak and the way she holds her head but right below the lower part of beak it's bulging out especially when she eats. Got one small hen layed her egg I assume her first egg it was soft almost clear and latex like feel.got 1 rooster just wants to fight the one that lays down to eat.i need help am I going about this correctly...
