sorry about that, did not think to click under your name. i have kept this young one in a large plastic tote with two baby silkes, i would like to put them outside in a wire crate with a wood chip surface, do you think i should put some vet wrap around the hock joint to keep from getting sores on the hock? That whole leg know hangs down lower at the hip and the foot looks larger than the good one. I think it may be a rooster, It seems content and is filled out nicely. the little silkies like him a lot. will have to probably keep them in a rabbit hutch and run as we now have foxes, they broke in at the chicken yard gate and killed two hens and one of the two guinies i have and three hens missing. happened at seven in the morning was very brazen and stood there and looked at me till i ran at him. saw couple others in field. afraid it may be a rough summer for my hens i usually let them out during the day, now i cant. very upsetting when they just kill for the fun of it. sorry didnt mean to write a book any suggestions on wrapping the leg would be appreciated and will it be more vulnerable to the heat, very hot here in pa right now. thanks, donna
