Today we took a road trip to see a man about a chicken. We put the lame chicken in a box and went up to Sparta. Darron runs a hatchery called Golden Willow Farm and Hatchery. He has been raising chickens and other poultry for quite sometime now. He has many varities and really knows his chickens. After he showed us all around his place, he took a look at our little chic and reasured us that it indeed has a deformed leg, but not broken. He told us not to breed her but, if it was a hen that it would lay fine eggs.
Darron thinks that its a rooster. I spent an extra 50 cents on her because the man we bought her from said it was a girl. I have a feeling Darrron's right. I'll let you know in time.
If anyone is looking to purchase baby chic, I highly recommend checking out Darrons web site.

He will be hatching chic's all year. Check it out.
I learned some more about raising chickens today. He showed us a really easy was way to tell a baby roo from a baby hen. If anyone is interested I'll share it in a later post.
Thats it for now. I will be posting more pictures soon.
