For limping, check for any injuries or swellings, all the way to her hip. if absolutely nothing appears, give it time to get better. Maybe a mild sprain or pulled muscle.

This is my first little flock and they are all from Townline. Never having done this before, the sales people at farm and home encouraged me to get 5 different birds...honestly, they were horrible to work with (but that’s another story)
I have one more waiting to lay...she is an Americana...or as many have told me a fancy Easter Egger. She is suppose to lay blue eggs. That will round out my colors for this year.
They are all wonderful ladies and I’m learning a lot from them and more from BYC.
Oh yea....I’m only fighting temptation because i want to be sure I experience a whole year with these girls and learn before I get caught up in chick”addiction”. New coop will be built w expansion in mind....for me at least something good came out of CovidYou know what Chicken Math is right?
We grew up on pickled eggs!! I grew up going to my grandparents farm and they pickled EVERYTHING! They immigrated from Europe in the early 1900s. The lessons of simplicity and humility stick w me today. Can’t wait to grow my own Veges next season and start canning again! If anyone has ever canned meat, would love your insight.So I did something new...imagine that. Boiled a few Banty eggs. Finished a mason jar of pickled beets we made and instead of tossing the fluid I dropped the eggs in the jar and refrigerated. Pennsylvania Dutch Pickled Eggs or equivalent, lol
Me too. I try not to feel guilty about my good fortune; I know I've worked hard for what I've gotten in life. I do feel lucky, and I do my best to share with others. Just not eggs, right now. Maybe next year I will have enough to share.for me at least something good came out of Covid
I have not (yet), but my neighbor has canned a lot of meat. It absolutely has to be done under pressure! If you don't have a pressure canner, start looking for one. Canning supplies are VERY scarce where I am now. I started buying things I knew I'd need for canning in May-June, and still had trouble finding some things like wide mouth lids.If anyone has ever canned meat, would love your insight.
