    Severely crooked toes

    I’ve got 25 6-week-olds and about half of them have severely curled toes. I haven’t seen this previously with our incubated eggs. Reading online brings up so many possibilities of what went wrong so I wonder if anyone here can help narrow down the culprit? My flock consists of a Marans rooster...

    Are these duck nails normal? Or anything to worry about?

    Hi! It's been a while since I've been in here, and I was curious for people's opinions of my boy's nails. Without looking closely they seem fine (and honestly, my initial instinct is that they are) but I'm new to having ducks so I want to have other other people's opinions. I never really...

    I have a four year old Golden Comet hen who my brother took to the county fair a few weeks ago. While she was there she collapsed and since has not been able to stand up.

She did have another pullet with her, they're buddies, but yesterday there were pulled feathers off her friend and her head wound had been pecked. So I took the friend back to my son's coop, figuring one unhappy chicken...

    How to Knock a Chicken's Socks Off

    I've encountered a number of people, online and IRL, who find the idea of eating chicken feet disgusting -- both on the level of squeamish emotion, because while most chicken parts cut up don't much resemble a living chicken but feet always look like FEET -- and because they believe that chicken...
