Ms JB - the next time you make the cinnamon bread, instead substitute out some grated orange rind and cardamom for the cinnamon.

I love cardamom bread! I have a really good recipe for it that I will share soon. It is the most requested bread I make.

Another highly requested bread is my cranberry orange bread. It is awesome and has very little oil in it. Very unusual for a quick bread. I'll share that one in a few days.

If that cranberry/orange bread is the one with oatmeal, then I have made it and it IS soooo good!

I don't know Tammy. I don't know enough about these chickens to say. She is much better since I've brought her inside and put a heating pad under the tub

I got out my Chicken Health Handbook and checked for all of the symptoms and didn't come up with anything.

How old is the chick?

I'm glad she is doing better.

EDITED: Okay, I just saw your photo on the "emergencies" thread. I don't want to sound like a smart-***** but are you SURE you are not feeling her neck? In the photo she looks cold and she is all "compact" with her head pulled in close to her body. A chicken has a very long neck but your photo shows her with her neck pull into her body. That hump in the front of her breast looks like normal hunkered-down chicken to me. Do you have another photo with her neck stretched? This of course does not explain her leg problem, but maybe it's one less problem....

That is the way her chest (crop?) looks when she stands. I wish I knew how to upload pics from my phone because I have a bunch more of different views but I'm not at home so I have no computer. The only thing different is that she is able to stand where as this morning she could not at all. But she can't stay up but for a few minutes. She is eating and pooping. When I went to let them out this morning she was literally on a heap at the bottom of the ramp and couldn't move. I thought she was dead except her chest was moving. The first time I noticed her fluffiness was fri morning and I too thought she was all fluffed up because of the cold. But when I got home from school she was stumbling and her chest was massively extended

...have you looked up wry neck in chickens? This is a youtube showing a chicken with wry neck. I had one a few years ago.

Hello all! I haven't posted anything in so long! To be honest, I've been feeling a little under the weather, so I started taking my iron and fish oil supplements again. Suddenly, I'm rejuvenated! I was painting for hours yesterday!

The Rio Grande Valley is going through a cold front currently. If the below-50 temps continue, it will be the first time in 40 years that we'll have had continuously cold weather.
Yesterday it was raining so much and it was cold. I went outside today and found two of my Sultans freezing to death in the mud. It looks like they were being pecked. I brought them (and the Frizzle chicks) inside and am preparing them a favorite: high protein chick starter oatmeal. It will be nice and warm for them. No deaths, thank goodness. I'm glad I went outside when I did.

And I am sad to say that a possum managed to slip past my rat terriers and killed my favorite chicken, Miss Cutie. I didn't find her until a week after she disappeared, which breaks my heart. I'm looking into setting up a trap and then shooting it. I can't stand possums.

That's it, I believe. I'm gonna get back to painting. I have loads of decorating to do this year and loads to prove (one of my relatives insinuated that I couldn't paint, ugh). I'm a woman who loves to prove people wrong.

That's exactly what she looks like!!! Except for the extended chest. I'm going to read some more. I'm babysitting two little boys, trying to be entertaining and trying to figure out about my chicken! Lol plus I've come down with a runny nose
