    Hen limping...bumblefoot?

    I have a hen that has been limping, but I can't tell if she has bumblefoot or not, since I don't have a lot of experience. What do you think?

    Trying out ducks!

    I want to give raising ducks a try. My eventual goal (if I end up liking ducks) would be to raise them on pasture, which is what I am doing with my flock of chickens.

    Those are good points! She said that they have rooster, which I think could be the cause.

    Need advice!! Hens have stopped laying

    Need advice!! Hens have stopped laying

    I sold six 2 year old laying hens (RIR and Golden Comet) about a month ago, and now the person that bought them messaged me, saying that they haven't been laying for the past 2 weeks. They were healthy and laying when I sold them. Any ideas on how to respond?

    Sudden death of 2.5 year old BO hen

    She started acting lethargic yesterday and died this morning. I saw no discoloration/swelling, no lesions, and no mites/lice. She did have a messy/smelly bum, but nothing super out of the ordinary. I'm assuming she died of natural causes, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything? Are...

    I did consider that for a second, but she's definitely a hen (has been laying eggs for the past few months)😅
