    2 years old.. done laying??

    So I've given her the calcium pills which she's doing great with soaking her food the bumblefoot which I still haven't been able to pull the corn out, but I'm wreaking with the triple antibiotic too. As for her vent she's still puffy very red and expelling more each day but I'm still not sure if...

    She took the whole pill no problem.. I had given her drops of extra vitamins last year with her bumblefoot she's actually good at taking treatments. Such a sweet girl she is. I have her in the house with me now cause it's been raining and here in jersey it got quite chilly. I'll keep her in...

    So this is on her.. I just soaked her on Epson salt to take care of her bumble foot and was able to really take a look at her behind... the stuff I cleaned off of her was kinda like wettish yet crumbly yolk like. But her tummy is irritated and swollen looking ... she seemed to really like being...

    2 years old.. done laying??

    I have a chicken that is just about 2 years old. She was a good layer, lays throughout the winter and all. This past winter it seemed as though she started molting in late fall yet still laying consistantly.. 4-6 large white eggs weekly. Id say in the warm couple weeks of February she had...

    Egg bound or is it the weather?

    It's crazy it's been almost 2 weeks now still no eggs, have searched everywhere in every little book and cranny of this property. If she is hiding eggs then there is something out there stealing the eggs(there is a possum or 2 we have been trying to capture and move to a refuge) she is still...

    Egg bound or is it the weather?

    Hmm ok. I'm going to continue searching for hidden eggs. It's just strange that she has been laying for about a year and a half never stops and barely slows down in the winter. The faverolles slowed down in the winter they are slowly taking back off and the bantams that completely stop in...

She was in the nesting box again today but when I returned home from work my husband had let them out to free range a bit and...

    Bumblefoot

    So I thought I got the core out but then I cleaned her and rewrapped her again last night and it's still really swollen in wondering if I just got the scab. The scab when it came off was thick so I thought I got everything with it but after seeing it last night and she was freaking out not...

    I'm having a hell of a time getting the scab off. And unfortunately don't have any pictures. She is young and smaller. My faverolles are twice her size and only 5 and a half months old.. she's about a year an a half old.

    Bumblefoot

    So my brown leghorn has bumblefoot. I noticed her walking a little funny so I looked and it's got a scab looking spot on the bottom. We cleaned her foot & I've given her a soak in epsom salt. Sprayed her foot with the betadine and wrapped it with neopsorin, gauze and vet wrap. We did this 2 days...

She went in the coop looked at the nesting box walked around in a couple circles in the coop but then left...

    So here we are day 10 & she is still broody as ever... I tried to keto her in her little cage for a longer extended time but unfortunately when I came home from work yesteryear my husband had left her out because she was being so noisy. Back in she went by the end of the day. I'm really not...

    Brown leghorn.. broody?

    Agreed, frustrating, but there's definately worse problems to have. So I'm thankful it's just a hormonal thing rather than a health problem.
