    Bumble foot

    My Jersey Blue has bumblefoot on both feet. I read several threads on this site and watched two videos on how to remove the "kernel". Both videos showed very docile chickens that did not appear to be bothered by the infection being cut out. I soaked her feet in a warm epsom salt bath. When I...

    Egg bound?

    We have seven chickens, all about 5 1/2 months old, bought the week they hatched. This is our first time with chickens. Bahoud, a Jersey Bronze, started laying a few weeks ago and all was good at first. We have lights on a timer and she is on layer feed. A little over a week ago she laid an...
