It looks too small to be out in the open. Is it over 3 months? I have BR, and I am going by them at 2 months. If they are 3 months (and bigger than I think they are) I would think it would be okay.

No they are both a little over 1 month old they stay with my chickens now but the chickens go outside

If they are staying with the chickens they should be fine.

Bob our tom, fell yesterday and couldn't get back up. He has gotten do big, our family loves him like we love our dog. He is limping really bad. I feel guilty that I have let him eat too much and his legs can't handle it. I am always giving them snacks.

Here he is with his girls. What should I do?

He looks like a broad breasted bronze. I would say it's well past time to process him.

What Breed is he if he is broad breasted I would process him like sulkie said if he isn't were you giving him the high protein food I'd not that May be the source of his leg weakness

 

[chicken pickin]

I agree with the others I would process him also.

I'm not sure what the time limit is he is a little over a year. I don't know if I could eat him. My sister said she wouldn't have a problem. I doubt we could. Is it inhumane to let him limp along or is he ok until he can't get around. He is having trouble breathing or is hot and panting due to the heat. I don't know what to do.
