Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I checked her crop awhile back, when we first separated her, and I thought it was emptying normally, but I'll check again tomorrow morning. She receives egg mash feed and occasional mixed grain (corn/oats/sunflower seeds). She does not lay eggs anymore. She's...

Hi all! I've got a hen, close to 4 years old, that's been breathing raspy for a little over a week. She holds her beak open slightly while breathing. We brought her into our laundry room to isolate from the flock. Administered Vetrx + gave safeguard in case it was gapeworm. No other symptoms...

Just wanted to pop in and say that our rooster has now shed his foot! He is left with his good leg and a relatively healed stump that he is using to limp around on. I am choosing to not wrap the stump unless it seems necessary. He has not been in the mood to pose for photos but I snapped a photo...

Hi everyone! Glad to be introducted to the thread. My husband and I live outside of Milaca where it is cold and blustery at the moment, as I'm sure many of you are also experiencing. We have around 30 chickens and a handful of ducks among all the other animals on the farm.

Thanks for the warm welcomes- some photos of our chickens!

Hi everyone! Long time lurker (5+ years), first time poster. I've had chickens since I was in 4H as a middle schooler, and now live on a homestead with my husband in rural Minnesota. We've got a whole menagerie, which includes 29 chickens and 7 ducks at the moment. Breeds are all egg layers but...

Thank you for sharing the journey of your little Sage! I've been following along since we have a similar situation playing out in our laundry room- our rooster, Johnny, was brought in a month ago after I noticed his foot had swollen. Since then a good portion of one foot + leg has gone black and...
