He's a little over 4 months old. No white feathers or discolored toes, too early to really tell on mulberrying. If you're interested text me at 928-580-5398 or email at [email protected]
If they were just dry and cracked, I'd say petroleum jelly, or any other moisturizer, mine are rather fond of beeswax and shea butter.
But they doesn't look like very dry and cracked, I think its bumblefoot. But I only have chickens, so I'd wait for more replies.
Ok, good news, I'd like to apologize for the late reply. My eggs are fertile! I've checked them for about 2 weeks after he'd been fully integrated with my ladies. Sorry for the wait I just wanted to ensure I wasn't giving you any doozy eggs because my boy was a bit young and inexperienced. So...
Bumping because I posted at an ungodly hour. She's a bit more active today, but she hasn't passed an egg, with the color of the feces I'm guessing internal laying maybe?

I was planning on during another massage and checking again when I got home. Should I make...
My Easter Egger hen was acting differently yesterday. She jumped on the coop perch and just stayed there for an hour or 45 minutes and then went and squatted in the nesting box like she was about to lay an egg for a bit. I gave her some oyster shell and Pedialyte. Then a warm water bath with...
I'm going to be bringing 3 chicks home for a breeder 3 1/2 hours away. Is there a way to keep them warm in the car? I was thinking a Stanley thermos of boiled water with water bottles I can fill and change out. Heating pads, I was planing to utilize our last 110 days to heat a pad on the roof...
Thanks, I thought so too, I just was worried leaving it might allow it to become a real emergency.
I have wire cage but they haven't been in there since Fairtime. Im just guessing based on what I've read but I think it's a piece of wood I made into a loft, its become splinter though. They...
So I been flying on my own for a while but I have I wanted some advice. While checking my hens over I noticed some scabs on the foot. I decided to give it a few weeks checking frequently, but I wouldn't say that got any worse, still it probably wasn't the best in hindsight. I just didn't want...
Oh, I actually built it myself but I see what you mean. I was using the 5 Sq ft rule and my coop is a little than 50 Sq ft. I definately appreciate the concern, I've seen those 15 Sq ft coops that supposedly hold 5 chickens
I have room my coop, it can hold 10 chickens and I currently have 6. She's been sitting on the golf balls that I use to encourage nesting behavior. I was thinking of selling the extras on Craigslist or the forums and keeping two females for show this year.
Thanks, I was thinking that. It's...
