One of my 3 girls is behaving oddly. She came running out an hour and a half ago when I let them out to free range, now she’s standing still, holding her wings out to the side with her tail down and panting. Poops look fine, she won’t come out for treats, and lets me pick her up which she hates...

Our 5-month old vaccinated Black Ameraucana cockerel needs a new home. We love him, but unfortunately my husband works from home and says the crowing does not make for a "Teams" player. He only crows in the morning and isn't very loud, yet. (Welsummer not included). Please contact me if you need...
