Pullets usualy means 6-11 months in my expirience. Thats what I meant.

100% pullets. Dogs usualy adjust fast, they seem to think chickens are dogs. It also depends on whether you have a terrier, sadly, they have some trouble. Pullets are the best idea because they can take care of themselves more. Then you can be sure you have hens too. The best place to get them...

Welcome! You'll come to find chickens are a lot like dogs personality wize. Great to have you here!

Oh, thank goodness. They will take good care of him.

What doctor is this? I took my chicken to a 24 hour vet and they didnt know anything about chickens and made it worse. Maybe evaluate this vet before going further. I am sorry this is happening to you. I reccomend some google-ing. That saved my chicken.

Look at vent gleet or egg binding with a shelless egg. She might also have a tumor, but lets hope not.

It could be vent gleet. Id google it.
