She was fine before, I soaked her feet in Epsom salt, cut the nail back as far as I could. I tried taping it straight for her so I'll see in a bit. It sure is sore poor baby.

good morning, I now have a chicken with her nail pointing up and I was wondering what you finally ended up doing?

I guess my post was a little confusing. I gave them a mixture of warm oatmeal the goji berries fresh off the Bush and soaked the berries and corn together. I gave it to them and they ate everything but the corn. They get plenty of greens and love their dried oats in the a.m. and p.m. but...

Hi I tried to give while dried corn and even mixed it with warm oatmeal and soaked the corn with some goji berries off my bushes. They didn't touch it. I live in NM and temps are 70 during the day and then in the 40s overnight. So now I have this huge bag of corn and I have no idea what I...

I use diatomaceous earth in the run in the coop it's self in and around the nesting boxes an my mites disappeared. In the nesting boxes I use a very light coating but everywhere else I use it till I feel it seems right. The nice thing about the DE is that it doesn't harm my chickens. I use it...

Hi all, I just wanted to put this out there, two of my chickens had bumblefoot on both feet and I didn't know how to do the surgery so I took one chicken to the vet and had him do the surgery and he taught me how to do it right for all of those that make films out there please make sure that...

Wow!! Looks great! It sounds like your doing all the right things. I'm glad you mentioned the deep litter method because I was thinking about doing that instead just dirt, which is really easy to clean daily with a corn broom. However there's lots of flies and im working on finding a way to...

The other thing I read up on is that you will need to clean everything and disinfect everything if they have mites also from what I've read this egg's of those things can hatch again so you really want to do a thorough cleaning so they don't infect the other chickens. Good luck

That looks like mites to me and all the symptoms seem to match. I had an infestation of them trying to get into the chicken coop but they had not gotten to the chickens yet and they were just on one corner of the coop. After all the research that I did regarding mites the best thing that I...

The mites that were invading my coop recently were just a little larger tha the head of a pencil and not on the chickens so for me as being a new member to backyard chicken raising I would suggest looking closer with a magnified glass if possible. I'm not sure about the dust. Check the...

I thought wormwood was dangerous for anyone internally so I'm not sure about that, can you clarify for me?

Hello all, today I happened to be working by the coop and looked up and my wooden privacy fence had these little bugs that scattered when I accidentally stepped there, what the heck were these bugs?? I did searches and finally found out about the Northern Fowl Mite!! Well it hasn't gotten into...

Ok thanks for the information I'll check around.

I also read pine tar? Any ideas??

They don't have it and suggested drawing salve? I'm trying to be as natural as possible using herbs like what you talked about and I've been reading like crazy so I'm glad you're here.
