    Lash egg?

    My mom found this strange bean shaped thing in one of our hen's eggs this morning. I've never seen anything like this! I'm worried that it could be a lash egg. There are no vets that will see chickens anywhere around us. Are there any OTC antibiotics/probiotics/etc. I could use for the whole...

    Bumble foot

    Hello! I did surgery on her feet on Friday and everything went well! They have scabbed over very nicely, instead of a nasty black one like last time it’s a redish normal looking scab. Also, her foot looks less red than in the picture I posted. Thank you guys for your tips!

    Bumble foot

    Here is a picture of her swollen foot. I was able to order some PRID and grapefruit, thanks again for those suggestions! @igorsMistress :)

    Bumble foot

    Thank you SO much for all this information! This is very helpful. I will get a picture of her feet later today and try to get my hands on some PRID and grapefruit extract.

    Bumble foot

    Also, I noticed she has a faint clicking noise when she breathes sometimes. At first after the bumblefoot surgery she wasn't doing too well (not eating, generally pretty lethargic) and I assumed I was too late and she was dying from sepsis. That's obviously not the case as it's been a month and...

    Bumble foot

    That's probably right. I got out whatever came out without too much probing but I didn't want to dig too deep and end up hitting nerves/muscles. I did use topical antibiotics on her feet afterwards and changed the dressing often. Do you recommend waiting to see what happens or doing surgery...

    Bumble foot

    Hello everyone! About a month ago I removed two bumblefoot plugs from my Polish. I covered them in gauze for a few days until they scabbed over and gave her antibiotics for 2 weeks. However, the swelling in one of her feet still does not appear to be down by much. I also noticed that the...

    Silkie not recovering from wry neck

    Hello everyone! Back in the beginning of May, I posted that my Silkie had an issue with wry neck after being broody. A couple people suggested that I give her vitamin E for 2 weeks, and that worked wonderfully for a while, then she went right back to having issues. Should I still be giving her...

    Red Breasted Black OEGB?

    Here she is again—almost fully feathered! And this little baby can FLY! She’s more like a wild bird than a chicken 😆

    Rotten egg exploded, another cracked

    Hey there! Unfortunately the others did not hatch, they progressed to the point where they actually had a body and feathers then went rotten :( I’m not sure what went wrong. I ended up buying some chicks from TSC to make myself feel better, those chicks are doing great! :)
