    Is this bubblefoot? If so, how should it be treated?

    Now I have another chicken with bumblefoot and my last chicken is still not cured. I also think a third might be getting it. She is limping but her feet do not have any scabs.

    Thank you. I read that you should also soak the foot in salt. Would also be good? And I suppose that the stage is too early to have to remove the scab?

    What mix and gender is my chick?

    Thanks for all your ideas! I prefer Matilda over my barred rock so I am happy about how she turned out. She is the perfect sweet cold-hardy forager. I still think that her mother was a barred rock and her father a pure bred chicken. Based on the posts I would say that she could either have a...

    What are these white spots in my chicken's poop? (poop photos)

    I do not feed my chickens oyster shells so it would not be that. Right now my chickens are in their coop all the time because it is so cold out. I checked some other poops too and they also have those white spots. The white things are too small for me to be able to pick one out and check if it...

    What are these white spots in my chicken's poop? (poop photos)

    I noticed these white spots in my chicken's poop. I really hope they are not worms. I finally managed to get rid of mites. If they are worms my guess would be tapeworms. What do you think they are?

    My chickens had mites recently, but I can't find them on the chickens anymore.

    My ameraucana is missing feathers on the sides of her muff/beard.

    She was hatched around the 25 of April 2025. I do not see any blood.

    My ameraucana is missing feathers on the sides of her muff/beard. At first I did not pay attention to it but now the spot has gotten so big that I wonder what could be causing it. I only have four chickens and I do not see anyone pick at her. Here are some pictures:

    My duck has wet feather and I don't see what could be causing it.

    My other duck is a Khaki Campbell.

    My duck has wet feather and I don't see what could be causing it.

    She does preen, just without her oil gland and I had just blow dried her. The problem is that her down is always wet and it won't dry so she is cold. If I didn't blow dry her she would barely dry at all. I am not worried about her squeak anymore. You are probably correct about why she does it.

    My duck has wet feather and I don't see what could be causing it.

    The edges of her webs are bleeding. You can see the dark rim in the photo of her feet.

    So it is the same ration of ivermectin per body weight for the ducks and the chickens? Do you think it is likely that Abigail will get better? I have no such place. She is in a coop with a heat lamp. The other duck and the chickens are fine.
