    PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT THIS IS

    Oh, well now I feel a bit silly. I know everyone is trying to help. I guess it's hard not to imagine how the op must feel after posting three times in the last five weeks trying to get help and not getting any specific advice. Yeah I agree with everybody it's frostbite. Probably the roo rested...

    PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT THIS IS

    It does have an infection! Guys, this gal needs our help not guesses at the original cause. I've talked to her, we're looking at an anerobic bacterial infection localized (for the moment) to the foot. So far I've found that those kinds of infections respond well to penacillin. Is that really the...

    PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT THIS IS

    What have you been able to do for him so far? Is there an unusual smell? Are his shanks hot to the touch? Or just the area right behind his toes? Is there any discharge from the toes now? How about from his noes or eyes? How is he eating and drinking/ how is his appetite? What first aid...

    Isolating herself and doesn't eat

    Probably she has gone broody. Make sure she has food and water within reach. Probably she is getting up to relieve herself at least once per day, if food and water are nearby she'll probably grab a bite and a sip while she's up. She may give up on her own after a while. If she's been on the nest...

    Golden chicken

    Anybody seen this leg coloration before? I'm hoping it might give me a clue as to her breed background. I know who the roo was but not the hen. Any ideas?

    Eggtopsy: What happened to my egg? {Graphic Pictures}

    It is an in line thermostat. The temp fluctuates 98-104 but the thermometer is really sensitive and the eggs actually feel a little cooler than when I get them out from under a hen. I'm guessing that the high and low don't last long enough for the eggs to lose or acquire too much heat. I'm...
