    Chicken toe fell off

    My rooster broke his toe and then it turned black. Now it fell off. Do I need to give him antibiotics or anything to ward off infection?

    TOE ROTTING OFF HELP!!!

    My young rooster broke his toe. I tried to splint it awhile back but I made him limp more so I took it off. It started to turn black. I was told it would just fall off but it hasn’t and now it is very swollen around the black part. I’m wondering if he is pecking at it?? Please help!! What do I do?!

    Injured chicken toe!!! Help!!! It is black!!

    My lavender Orpington cockerel broke his toe!! I tried to splint it and he was limping even more so after a few days I took it off. Now it has turned black and is shriveling up. What do I do?? I’m pretty sure this means the circulation has stopped going to it. Should I cut it off? This has never...

    Pekin ducks mating

    My Pekin ducks are 16 weeks old and have just begun to mate with one another. Does this mean that the females are about ready to lay their first eggs? Or is it just that everyone is hitting puberty?

    Sexing lavender orpingtons

    I think it’s a pullet because the comb isn’t red or pink yet

    Pekin Ducks vs Ancona Ducks

    Height of roost

    Do you think I should make a ladder for the girls to get to the roosting area? The top of the little brooding area is 2 ft high. I don’t plan on clipping wings. I know they won’t necessarily need a ladder as adults as my full grown birds can fly pretty high... but this group is currently only 6...

    Sexing orpingtons

    I hatched out 6 lavender orpingtons. I tried to vent sex them and thought I had 4 pullets and 2 cockerels. Now they are 3 weeks old and I’m thinking 3 might be cockerels. What are some signs I can start looking for? 3 of them have developed tail feathers much sooner.
