My Flock Journey

Today’s theme is neon... so I am wearing a neon pink shirt

I can hear thunder outside. I wonder how my chicks will go they haven't experienced thunder or lightning yet.

Nice update and don't beat yourself up over losses, it's an unfortunate reality of keeping birds.

I was not prepared for the first set of missing pullets the first time I was worried sick and holding onto hope they would return but didn't.

No about my flock but thought I would share. Since today is the 1st day of spring my partner and I decided we will try start our vegetable garden off.

Chilli Peppers (Hot Cayenne) and Tomatoes (Grosse Lisse)

Advice needed:

One of my Black Australorps has a sore leg. It doesn't seem broken but it won't really walk on it and keeps laying down. I wasn't going to split it up from the other because it was starting to stress without them.

What should I do?

Update on my Little Light Sussex:

It is doing extremely well. Its a lovely, happy little bird. Doesn't get picked on or anything like that. Just seems really happy and loves a cuddle. It is extremely small still.

Pictures? It may be a slipped tendon (don’t worry it’s fixable) pics will help confirm.

The first thing I'd do is separate it from the rest of the chicks and have a good look at that leg.
Other than that I agree with Kayla's Chickens.

We checked it over and it can move its leg and stuff. Doesn't make a noise when you move it or anything like that so I don't have its broken or anything. Looks a bit swollen where the joint is and holds it up when its standing.
I separated it from the rest to make sure it has enough water and it was but it was extremely stressed without the others so I dont want to stress it out anymore then it already is.
