In this article i will be stating most of the common problems you bird may have, or something that may just look wrong to you.
1. Bumble Foot
Bumble foot is a very common problem that your chicken may have. It looks almost like a wart, or a large bump that develops between the toes or on the bottom. The reason for this is when the skin of the foot is compromised some way, allowing bacteria to grow and invade the the foot causing an infection. The entry for this could happen while foraging, running or could have cut their foot on something in the coop. This can be very dangerous for the chicken, causing pain, and could lead to death if the infection grows. The solution is surgery, but you can do it at home to. You have to take the chicken and calm them down in a quiet place. In the foot there is something causing the infection, it looks sort of like a kernal of corn. It is very hard, and you have to get it out of there. You should research more on how to remove it.
2. Fowl Pox
If you notice little white spots on the comb, or skin, your chicken may have fowl pox. It is not deadly to the chicken and can be cured. It is a viral infection, and can be caught by the other members of the flock. To cure this, feed the chicken soft foods, and give them a nice warm, dry place to recoup.
3. Fowl Cholera
