    Limping Hen - Scaly Leg Mites?

    I have Annie in separated from the rest of the flock, in a mini coop that is inside the main run. I have treated her for SLM a few times and I think the scales look smoother, but she is obviously still in pain. She will barely put her left foot down. I am thinking the SLM were secondary and that...

    Limping Hen - Scaly Leg Mites?

    I have a 5 year old Golden Wyandotte who has been limping. I checked her for bumblefoot and didn’t see anything. I thought maybe she had a sprain or other injury, but now I am wondering if maybe it is scaly leg mites. I’m posting a picture of the foot she has been favoring. If it is scaly leg...

    Vertigo/off balance/neurological?

    I hope your girl pulled through and is doing well now! I found this thread because I have a 5 year old Golden Wyandotte who has been wobbly/falling over for a few days now. She still goes out to forage with her sisters (supervised) and roosts, but she is really unstable and wobbles while...

    Please Help Me Identify A Few of My Chicks!

    I can't wait to watch her grow up. I wanted a Legbar five years ago when we got our first chicks but had to narrow down my selections and didn't get one. That's funny they gave you another Bielefelder for your surprise chick! I am anxious to know what our surprise chick is.

    Thanks! I was thinking the lighter one was the Bielefelder too, and today the one I thought was the surprise chick starting showing signs of a crest.

    Please Help Me Identify A Few of My Chicks!

    Well, I think I had it all wrong! It seems this baby must be my Cream Legbar since today I am seeing the beginnings of a tiny crest! What do you think? The color just doesn't seem right though. Her down was more gray/black than what I've seen, and she isn't getting the salmon feathers on her...

    Please Help Me Identify A Few of My Chicks!

    Yes they all have single combs. I keep waiting on the leg bar to develop her crest, and then I will know for sure. I’m super curious about what the surprise chick is!

    Please Help Me Identify A Few of My Chicks!

    Our seven chicks from Murray McMurray Hatchery are 16 days old today, and I think I have finally identified all but three of them! I am pretty sure I know my two Ameraucanas, my Speckled Sussex, and I definitely know my Golden Polish. What I'm not sure about is which of the remaining three...

    3 weeks old today, moving out to coop wednesday with brooder?

    Thanks! I am planning to open the windows for some ventilation in the shop during the day now that they are in something more secure than a plastic tote. I am still adding electrolytes to their water every day. Great tips for the big girls! My hens seem to be handling the heat ok. Their coop...

    Moved Two Week Old Chicks to Mini Coop Today

    They have been in our shop the entire time, but previously they were in a plastic tote. It’s pretty hot in there. 😕 We are under a heat advisory until tomorrow night. I don’t have anywhere else for them to be though so I’m not sure what to do. I did set up a fan to blow through the run last...

    3 weeks old today, moving out to coop wednesday with brooder?

    I was wondering about putting a fan out with our 2 week old chicks. It is soooo hot here in north Mississippi right now and they have been sitting with their wings out.
