    Black bumps on toes - is this bumble foot?

    Thank you. I did treat it for bumblefoot. It’s better now. Thanks.

    Entire flock Sick - I FEEL HOPELESS!!! Swollen Faces - Yellow patches - Lethargy

    Well, I am right there with you!! I feel like quite the dummy after loosing a chicken to FLS. I thought I was doing so well and totally had this chicken figured out. Apparently I still have a lot to learn!

    Hi, Thank you for that. I have just been doing research into that. It was definitely FLS. Her liver was discolored and spotted and I believe she had most of the symptoms. I will be doing a deep dive into what is going on and what I could be doing wrong. Thank you for your help.

    Wow - that is a wealth of information. Thank you so much. I would have never thought about any of that. I’m going to go do a thorough examination of their foraging grounds. It sound like I need to get that book. Thanks again!!

    Thanks for the great advice. That sounds terrible - I’m sorry you have to live around that. I’ll contact my county extension - I was wanted to test the soil anyway for our garden next year. From what I can tell - I’m dealing with mites. I think that is the main offender. Once I realized that...

    I did change how I was feeding them. I actually was only feeding store bought pellets for the past few months. I had new chicks I introduced to the flock, so I went to feeding everyone organic feed from the store in order to make sure the growing chicks were getting the right nutrition. I put...

    Thank you. I’ll probably do that. I was thinking of trying to do it myself - but I don’t know how. I have been able to better look at that bird (Clementine). She has a very swollen belly. I thought maybe egg bound but I don’t think so - I treated for that and no egg also I think she would have...

    Thank you so much. I’ll give those a try. I live 1 1/2 hrs from the nearest town and I haven’t been able to find a vet for my goats let alone chickens. I’m afraid I’m on my own.

    I never considered that. From what I know it was just a family living here and they had animals. But they didn’t do well and gave up and sold the farm. I don’t know about chemicals - I do know I found evidence of the previous owners burning plastic so I know they weren’t environmentally...

    I don’t like the sounds of that. 😞 doesn’t the flu come with respiratory problems?

    Entire flock Sick - I FEEL HOPELESS!!! Swollen Faces - Yellow patches - Lethargy

    Hi. Thanks for a reply. I have been putting coconut oil (because it’s antibacterial) and a Vassaline like salve in their face - Vicks on their legs. I thought of favas but isn’t it ringworm? Does it cause feather loss at the neck? Mine don’t have that. Also, this isn’t chalky - it’s more moist...

    Entire flock Sick - I FEEL HOPELESS!!! Swollen Faces - Yellow patches - Lethargy

    I have been searching the web and this site and can’t seem to find a diagnosis. It started out with a move to a new house and barn. We cleaned and disinfected the barn and moved everyone in. At first everyone was doing great. Then one month in everyone stopped laying. Not just slowed down - but...

    Black bumps on toes - is this bumble foot?

    Thank you for your reply. It isn’t frostbite - this is a new rooster I got as a chick this spring - so maybe 4 months old. We just moved to a new home and my chickens are now in a barn with a concrete floor. Their coop section has bedding of pine pellets and hay, but the rest of the barn is...
