i'm having an issue with one of my hens. I aquirred her last fall and didn't know her age, breed or anything. She has quite a bit of white on her but she's mostly buff. i think that she's etiher a splash or buff orpington, but i could easily be wrong.
anyway, i've never gotten a single egg outta her. I think that she's old (but i might have just assumed that becasue of the amount of white on her and the fact that she just LOOKS old)
the other thing is that she can't fly at all. its really pitiful. she'll be on the middle roost and i'll come in and she's so skittish that she sees me, freaks out, flies off the roost and promptly crashes into the wall or feeder.
then i noticed that her one wing is quite a bit smaller than the other. i eventually caught her and examined her wing, discovering that her bone is like folded back on itself.
if you have any thoughts on this, let me know
