    Bumblefoot, again

    Thanks for the reply, what is a potato bandage? What I don't understand is how this is going from foot to foot? Is there something wrong with using pine shavings inside the coop? I use the fine ones from Tractor Supply, put down deeply. Also, I have triple ground organic mulch in my chicken...

    Bumblefoot, again

    Hi I posted several days ago regarding my chicken who has persistent, recurring bumblefoot, despite spending a fortune at the vet having it treated and keeping her in a dog crate. I am actually now soaking and wrapping it myself every other day and putting her out in the coop with the other...

    Inflammation in Web of Chicken Toe *Photos

    Good morning all. I am also dealing with a persistent bumblefoot issue in my one year old Barred Plymouth Rock hen.

    Hello everyone, just want to tell everyone my current experience with a broody hen.

    Lost one of the birds last night..

    Hi, I am just a "new egg", but I do pet sit for two large flocks and one of them lives adjacent to a large park system, full of coyotes and the like. They have put up inexpensive solar boxes with flashing red lights that come on after dark when night predators come close to the hen house. They...

    Hi, I'm just a "New Egg" with no chickens of my own, but you sound like my kind of person. I spend a lot of time at our local TSC stores just hoping I was taking 4 chicks home.

    I live in Burton, Ohio and have no chickens yet, our town is rural, but does not allow livestock. I am going to pursue getting a variance for 3 - 4 hens only.
