My 10 week old lavender Orpington has been off the last 3ish days. I checked her feet, legs, back feathers, vent and felt as best as i could around her and i don’t see anything visibly wrong with her. She’s been acting lame, not walking long and then laying down, kinda limping at times, a bit...
this is my first flock, and i’ve identified this “hen” as an easter egger due to the green legs, however the tail feathers are starting to make me think “she” is a “he”. Comb and wattle say hen (IMO) but like i said, first time raising chickens since i was 8-10 years old, so could use the expert...

I noticed that one of my 10 week old pullets (legbar x) was waddling like a duck earlier. Tail down, butt to heels. As far as I can tell she seemed normal in the run, but I...
My 10 week old chick was just attacked by a hawk about 20 minutes ago. I heard it and ran to the rescue. Once I scared the hawk off, she ran for cover with the rest of her sisters. She lost a bit of blood. I currently have her separated and inside the house. How do I care for the wound and how...
