    Swollen Toe Joints?

    A bit of an update. The joints are tough now, but she can still bend them somewhat. They haven't grown in size, and she doesn't limp or flinch when I touch it. The stuff under her scales, however, are apparently feathers. Not sure why they're growing there, though. The only thing I could find...

    Swollen Toe Joints?

    Here's an update on her foot I still haven't noticed a change in her mood or behavior and she isn't limping at all, so I guess that's good

    Swollen Toe Joints?

    Also here's what her foot looks like today. Still pretty swollen and it looks like the scales are chipped or something

    Swollen Toe Joints?

    Alright! I'll keep an eye on that. I saw on the article that one of the signs of a crop disorder is loss of appetite, which she definitely doesn't have lol. If she is sick, she's hiding it very well. Other than the one toe, she seems to be eating and running around like normal. I will note that...

    Swollen Toe Joints?

    I just went out there today and saw her throw up. It was entirely liquidy, no foul smell and mostly clear I'm changing their water right now and giving them some fresh

    Swollen Toe Joints?

    Alright, thank you for the responses! If it's an injury is there anything I should do about it now, or just keep an eye on it?

    Swollen Toe Joints?

    I checked on it again today and it looks worse The scales are lifted up a bit and kind of soft, so my guess now is mites. The bottom of her foot looks fine and is just covered in dirt at the moment. The top looks like it has some dry, hard scales poking out of it. It's also much more swollen...

    Swollen Toe Joints?

    And it's a bit unfocused but I got a picture of the bottom of her foot I don't think it's swollen because the bottom is still soft like normal, and they're just slightly pink

    Swollen Toe Joints?

    The bees have a give as well. When my mom showed me the picture of it, I thought it was just a swarm but no, so I guess they've been there for at most a week

    Swollen Toe Joints?

    Alright Just got off work so it's too dark right now, but I'll try to get a picture in the morning Also gotta be careful because I just found out today that some bees decided to move in near the coop (not on it, but close by) With that, now it makes me wonder if it's a bee sting. I looked up...

    Swollen Toe Joints?

    I've noticed yesterday that one of my hen's toes is oddly swollen. It just seems to be the middle portion of her middle toe. She seems to be walking fine, it bends normally, and she doesn't freak out when I touch or put pressure on it (so I guess it doesn't hurt?) Her mood hasn't changed and...

    If you kept only one breed...

    Yeah! I know if I was able to, I'd keep getting more chickens. They're all so sweet and I love taking care of them and learning about them

    12 week Blue Laced Red Wyandotte - cockerel or pullet?

    Yeah, it is a bit hard to tell at this age. In an all-hen-flock, the most dominant hen would sometimes "crow" like a roo would. Does it sound similar to a rooster crow or is it more of a loud, elongated "brrrraaawwwk"? (cus one of my hens does that and it can get pretty annoying lol) I could...
