    Are pomegranates OK for chickens to eat?

    Mine are eating some right now it's their favorite fall treat besides apples and pumpkins. :)

    Help!

    I cut the feathers back a little to expose the legs to see what I was dealing with. There wasn't any bleeding. I will check for bumblefoot. I didn't even think to check for it, thank you for the heads up.

    Help!

    I cut her feathers back on her legs. I'm going to keep treatment going. If it doesn't clear up I may take her to the vet to see what they can do. Will the mites cause the growths?

    Help!

    Will her feet go back to normal after the treatments? Also I think from the nails being so long deformed her toes. How could anyone let this happen?

    Help!

    I just soaked her feet in olive oil after I trimmed her nails. Poor thing. I haven't introduced her to my flock but as a precaution should I treat them as well?

    Help!

    The more research I do all I can find are mite infections. I guess everyone will be getting a oil dip for their feet to prevent spreading.

    Help!

    Hey everyone, I got a rescue chicken that came from very poor conditions. This morning I gave her a bath to remove all the poop and mud off her feet to cut back her nails that as you can see are horribly over grown. I found she has growths and scaly looking feet. Can anyone tell me what is...

    Silly Chickens!

    I thought I would share my latest chicken behavior. Now that it has (for the most part) thawed up North I have began spring planting. My girls (EE's) would shift through the dirt that I would be mixing and getting ready for seeds. They had a blast finding and picking at worms and a poor garter...

    Are my chicks fussy eaters?

    That's good to know. One of them likes to jump in my hand and lets me pet it. It also likes to climb up onto my shoulder and falls asleep on me. Some when I hold them rub their beak into my hands. I have no idea what any of this means.

    Are my chicks fussy eaters?

    Hello! I have some EE's andthey are about a week old. I introduced them to mealworms (which they love), plain yogurt (which they won't touch), strawberries (they won't even look at), and bread (they tried and then avoided it). When is it ok to introduce them to new things beside mealworms and...

    Normal Flock Size?

    Don't forget to think about space! Right now I can only handle 15 max. Look at your area, not just space but also if you have any restrictions in your town. Would be terrible to get some and then find out you have either too many or can't keep them! Hope it works out with your family! :)
