    Foot leg injury and/or deformity.

    My Salmon Favorelle has probably had weird feet since she was a chick, but I didn't notice until recently when I started letting my young ones out of their little cage in the run and out to free range with the big girls.

    Seven weeks. I think I have two cockerels.

    First time chicken mama is in love! Hoping they are all girls.

    I took my sweethearts, Greta (Easter Egger), Goldie (Rhode Island Red) and Theda (Plymouth Barred Rock) out to free range a bit yesterday, when the picture was taken, and today. I didn't keep them out long either day because I know they need to be warm, but I figured a little sunlight and...
