    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    I have the same issue. Definitely not rooster caused. I wish someone had answers.

    Chicken can’t sit, stand or walk

    She has not been exposed to the cold. It was beautiful last Sunday and she has been kept in our heated shop ever since. She has had bumble foot before and bandaged feet have never prevented her from walking. I notice her nails are worn down very unevenly, so I think her walking was off due to...

    Chicken can’t sit, stand or walk

    On Easter I came home to find that one of my three year old hens couldn’t walk, sit upright or stand. She was laying on her side inside the coop. She is a heavy breed (Dixie Rainbow) and has had problems with bumble foot and poop sticking to her rear. Over the last few years I have treated the...

I haven’t seen her fall, but she is wobbly. Her comb doesn’t look great either. I know she has bumble foot on...

    Bloody comb and head, possible frostbite?

    That’s what I’m thinking, but haven’t experienced frost bite before. I don’t have a rooster, but definitely have a few ornery hens!

    Bloody comb and head, possible frostbite?

    There is some yellow color on the tips of the comb. Maybe they pecked at her because of this.

    Bloody comb and head, possible frostbite?

    I discovered a hen with caked blood on her comb and feathers around her comb and eyes were also tinged with red from blood. I separated her and tried to clean the blood off gently, and I couldn’t find an injury. We had extremely cold temps about two weeks ago for a long period for over a week so...
