Sarah, what kind of banty roo's did I get from you at chickenstock again? Ack, one of my kids asked and I mentioned them in another thread and for the life of me I can't remember............ They have such character too!!!!

Today wasn't to bad. Got the west side and top of the run covered. Tomorrow I will do the north side and then my large fowl will be all set for winter. Just have to figure out how I'm going to cover the bantams. Last winter I was shoveling snow out of the run and I said never again.

I need to come up with something to keep her leg straight....I am thinking a finger splint. But not sure where to get one, except a dr.

Christy (the hen) is enjoying some watermelon right now.

The funny thing about this hen is she is the wildest chicken we have ever had. So this is really something for her to be confined and handled.

Also an interesting fact: Every egg we have incubated of hers has hatched and they have all been black.

How about popsicle sticks with lots of padding? or is that too big? Was this a bantam or LF?

Sorry about your hen's leg.

I have a 8 week old pullet who all of a sudden can't use one leg...can't feel any broken bones....she must have gotten her leg caught in something....
