I am so grateful for your thoughtful and helpful response. You have really provided a lot of relief for us and given us very useful information. Thank you so much.
Hello,
My 6 year old hen recently laid what appears to be a fart egg. Yesterday and today she made a very weird poop, please look at the picture. What could this be? She's an indoor chicken, with no exposure to other chickens. We recently started giving her a vitamin supplement, added to her...
hello. We live in Manhattan and rescued an adorable sweet barnevelder hen that was homeless. She is sweet and cuddly and definitely identifies with a human flock much more than with other chickens. We’ve introduced her to other chickens three times and, maybe because she identifies with humans...
Well the vet gave her a topical treatment to put on the infection twice daily and an oral antibiotic and told me to come back in2 weeks. He wants to wait to see if she will start healing on her own without requiring surgical intervention. What do you think?
I’m taking her to the vet tomorrow. Thank you all for your input. She didn’t walk anywhere dangerous so I don’t understand how she got it nor how to prevent it happening again?
We have a hen that has two painful feet that are swollen with a black scab in the middle. She is mostly indoors and we don’t know how she could get bumblefoot. But it appears that this is what it is. She is in pain, please can someone advise.
