Here is the video of my hen with the weird foot/leg injury

Poor girl. I feel bad for her

oh gees I didn't think of that! will it not accept other chicks with it, 3 days later??

Honestly I wouldn't worry about it. I have raised a few single chicks and don't have a problem introducing them to others. It's a bit of tough love for the first day but they get over it.

The gang =) The little buff gave me a scare today, it was choking on food that was stuck in it's throat. I gave it water(in hindsight not a very god idea) and it was then choking on that! UGG so I did everything I could think if, I did a sort of baby heimlic maneuver and gently thrusted it downwards in hopes gravity would get the stuff out, I blew in it's beak, and I massaged it's throat down to it's crop. It's all better now so I don't know what fixed it, but I did feel a small lump in it's throat so it may have gotten stuck and backed up. The crumbles were dry, I quickly added water! Now they are messy though lol.




The silkie siblings =) I think I will keep them both. I was going to keep Jingle the light blue anyway, but I LOVE black too to I think I will keep it to keep icelynn's bloodline alive.

What color silkie should I get? I have a blue hen and getting chicks in a few weeks after they hatch outta incubator.

plan on breeding them as well. Keeping 2 or 3 to add to flock.

blue, black, splash, white, partriage, or lavender?

Have you closely examined the "knee" of the chicken. It could be dislocated or inflamed.

Thank you =) They are quite dirty though LOL they apparently like bathing in their food. Icelynn is very curious as to what all the peeping is about next door to her. Seems a bit jealous LOL
