I am struggling with bumblefoot in my rooster at the moment as well. Tonight we tried our hand at bumblefoot surgery for rhe first time (epic fail) and since it is a very severe case of bumblefoot, he is reacting to the pain, jerking his foot away and squirming trying to get away. I know that if...
We've wrapped it up for the night and he's resting now. I may have some pictures in my camera roll, I dont know if I have any of him standing on it though. Let me check, I'll post what I have...
This is my roosters foot. We took him to the vet, (NOT and avian vet) he would not cut the infection out, all he did was give him antibiotics, which did nothing. I'm terrified to do the bumblefoot surgery. We started but the whole bottom of his foot is rock hard and I think the kernel is WAY...
Ok, so I have a chicken that I hatched back in May of this year, there were 7 chicks in total. All of them seemed to be very healthy except for 1. About 2 weeks after she hatched she started losing her coordination and couldn't stand. 1 day she was fine and literally the next she couldn't stand...
She will have about 7 or 8 that are fresh/not in the fridge when I go to get them so I would only need to get a few to make a dozen so I wouldn't be getting the oldest eggs, the 1s I would be getting would be anywhere between 2 and 4 days old. I decided to just get a dozen but I'm only going to...
I am.getying some cayuga duck eggs but she doesn't have enough ducks for me to get 2 dozen in 7 days or less and its a 3 hour drive to her place to get them so I started thinking about getting some that has in her refrigerator. I know this can be done, and the oldest refrigerated eggs she has...
I got mine from Culpeper. There is a woman in Williamsburg that breeds them for Colonial williamsburg. Her name is Elaine. I'll have to look through my emails to see if I can find her info so you can contact her. I let mine free range everyday, they love it and they are VERY fast runners. Preds...
Oh, wanted to comment on the egg chicapee, 1 of my Wellie hens lays eggs that are perfect ovals, both ends are pointy, lol. I always have to candle to see where the air cell is. And they're so dark I have a hard time seeing it, I hate setting her eggs, lol

Well, I have bad news... the poor little duckling with the ruptured sac has passed away :hit He was doing so well and had actually gained the strength to climb out of his little "playpen", which proved to be his downfall. He climbed out and got stuck on his back between the floor and the wire...
