    I don’t know what to do!

    Can you take a close up pic of her feet, it looks like she could have scaly leg mites but it’s hard to tell.

    Are my hens better off WITH the rooster or WITHOUT the rooster?

    Chicken’s body has green patch

    Bumping the post for you, I just had something similar with one of my hens it was a massive scab though. Does it look like a scab the pic is kind of hard to see. Unfortunately for my hen she passed away as I couldn’t clear it up it kept spreading and growing like a tumour.

    Update on my hen Nigel.

    Just an update for everyone who was helping me try to treat my chook Nigel. She just passed away in my arms, she was fine this morning but deteriorated very quickly this evening and hubby was going to put her down this evening after the kids went to bed. I went outside to sit with her, had her...
