    How flammable are chickens?

    Speaking from experience (scared chicken flew *directly* into the center of a small but very hot bonfire) You are correct, their feathers singe very quickly but immediately go out. The result of this was that our chicken was partially bald on her underside. No chicken fireball.

    Please HELP: White poo; hiding; rattling; not eating

    Poor thing. How is she doing now? I almost wonder if it's some sort of respiratory infection

    Honestly I don't know much about antibiotics or dosage but I hope someone will be able to help you. How is your chick doing now?

    How to save a chicken with a severe oil burn?

    Probably the best thing you could do in my opinion would be to loosely bandage the foot after coating it with plain neosporin to prevent infection. I see this thread is a bit old by now. How is your girl doing?

    Rooster's feet are both very swollen

    Any chance you could post pictures? That will probably help with diagnosis. Also have you checked to see if either foot has any kind of wound on it that could have caused the swelling? Bumblefoot is very common and could definitely hit both feet at once. It's caused by infected wounds in the feet.

    wound care how often to change dressing

    Just saw that you haven't had any replies yet. How is she doing now? Chickens bounce back very well from worse injuries than this. I am sure she has a good chance of pulling through as long as you can prevent infection and keep her from messing with it. As far as changing bandages, I'm not sure...

    Meat chicken would care

    Flush out wounds with vetericyn if you have it. Do not use peroxide. Coat wounds liberally with Neosporin (off brand is fine, do not use the kind with painkillers no matter which brand). Try to keep the wounds covered with bandages as best you can, and keep them clean. Definitely keep the one...

    Ended Funny Chicken Name Contest - Win 60 lbs of Grubbly Layer Feed From GrubblyFarms

    When I was a kid I had a barred rock named Buckshot. Now I have a flock of barred rocks, including a hen that honks named Scooter, a cockerel lovingly dubbed "The Runt", and a weird looking chicken with a weird sounding name: Qorvo. Our top hen is simply named Number One, and two of her higher...

    can i save her? </3 *graphic pictures*

    You can give her nutridrench or an electrolyte solution (like Gatorade) to chickens in place of water in order to help them recover from shock. I believe there is a way to make your own solution if you can't get any immediately

    Barred Rock Pullets or Cockerels?

    Barred rock chicks are supposed to have yellow legs with maybe some grey outlining. Pink legs sound like cuckoo maran to me, I think you may be right.

    Anyone know a good Barred Rock breeder near northern Idaho?

    It definitely seems like a useful project, both for the breeders and for the people looking to buy birds. I look forward to seeing it progress. In the meantime, hatchery stock is still pretty cute if you ask me lol

    Anyone know a good Barred Rock breeder near northern Idaho?

    Thank you for the response. I did see that list before. Hopefully we will eventually get an idaho breeder :) I ended up getting 16 new chicks from Mt. Healthy as I have heard good things about them and managed to snag a good hatch date. So much for getting birds from a breeder lol.

    5 week old chick attacked by stray cat; need help ASAP

    You can mix some water into her regular food to make a kind of mash. Dip her beak into it gently and see if that does the trick. Sometimes stirring it up right in front of the bird's face can get them interested in it because they see choice pieces of food moving around and get curious. Also you...
