    Chicken(s) have strange painful foot problems, please help!

    We have mostly RI Reds. In a recently built large shed/coop there are approx. 20 hens (the ones in there are RI Reds). No roosters in this area. They are all about 3 years old and all are laying eggs (hay in nests is changed ~daily). A few of our chickens have had this horrible condition and the...

    Hi, I'm really enjoying and appreciating reading BackyardChickens.com's many, many helpful pages of great advice found throughout the site! I checked the list of States but I don't see RI which isn't unusual given that it is the smallest State in the US. Thus I'm having difficulty finding...
