Rhode Island Red Thread!

anyoneknow why his wings are like that? I only got them a month ago they are 6 months old ,I don't know much about their history.

Oh my. Looks like he's lost some feathers to something. I'm new to chickens and mobile, so can't see the pic well, so I am no help.

My girls aren't thrilled with being carried around, but that does not slow my 5 year old down.

I've never seen that before or read a post about that problem. You might try to get a better pick of it. How old is it?

How old are they?

They are around 24 weeks now. One started laying this week.

it looks like they are going to do their juvenile molt and they can look funny for 2-4 weeks, during molts they need more protein just so ya know, that will help them get through it faster from what I saw with mine
