    Big, swollen foot

    Thanks for all the replies. She is actually eating Layena, so we will look into changing that. That’s just what she’s always eaten. Didn’t even think about the extra calcium causing a problem. And of course we will start treating the bumblefoot spots right away.

    Big, swollen foot

    8 year old Black Sex Link. She’s always had gnarly feet but lately her left one is noticeably larger. She isn’t limping or acting like it hurts. I’m thinking the dark spots on the bottom are maybe bumblefoot? There’s also a bump on the side that looks like a cyst or something. Any help is...

    Egg Bound?

    She's acting the same today and I feel her abdomen is swollen. She did poop, but I don't think that means she isn't egg bound, right? Didn't know what else to do, so I gave her a tums. She ate maybe 1/4 of it and she's soaking in the tub now. Fingers crossed. She's our favorite. The only one who...

    Egg Bound?

    Our White Leghorn laid a teeny tiny egg a week ago. It was about 1/4 the size of a normal one with a normal, hard shell. She hasn't laid since then and in the last day or two has been slower than normal and looks like she's waddling when she walks/runs. I just went and sat outside for a while to...

    Brown hens shunning white hen?

    Has anyone had problems with hens of one breed or color sticking together and ignoring the others in the flock? We have a black sex link and an easter egger who are about the same size, shape, and color who mostly ignore but sometimes pick on our white leghorn. Should we get another white hen or...

    Hello from Louisiana

    We have had our three lovely ladies (black sex link, Easter egger, and white leghorn) for about two years. We've used this site many times when we had questions, but I only just got around to officially signing up.
