I made a splint for her and put some red scarlet oil/medicated honey from my vet under a telfa pad on the wound part. Thank you so much Eggcessive! I’m hoping this works.
Not sure what my young polish hen did to her leg, just noticed her limping last night. Washed it last night and some scales came off, and swelling extends to her foot. I put some red scarlet oil and honey on it. She won’t put weight on it at all today, although she’s in a dog crate so there’s...
I made a wool hen and absolutely swear by it. I made mine with a styrofoam cooler, an old fleece robe, and some old kids fleece pullovers over a broken heating pad (so I could clean the pullover and not get the whole floor gross). Hot glued a small fleece blanket to pull down like a door, but...
Thank you. It’s my first round with OEG and they haven’t laid anything since I got them in November (figured since they were seasonal layers, that was why).
I got these straight run and ham having a hard time sexing them. No crowing or waddles yet, and they both act the same. I'm guessing the silver laced is a cockerel though. The other I'm thinking pullet...help please!

Thank you for your help. Both of the Brahmas look pretty similar. Can you tell me what breed and sex the brown and black ones? Their small spikey head feathers doesn't look like the Polish ones.
New to chickens and love the "top hat" variety. Not sure what breed it sex 2 of the brown and black ones are. I think I'm sure on the sex of my Polish, except one if my grey/white crested have waddles and one doesn't. Help please. I also have 2 Brahmas that I'm not sure about sex of either. I...
