Hello it’s been a few days and I think the spot has gotten a bit bigger. I’m not sure if I’m looking wrong but the spot around her nose seems to have been inflamed too. I noticed her scratching at the place well. Unfortunately, it seems her molting period started this week as well and I dont...
I do have some hardware cloth around the coop. I didn’t consider it before you mentioned it but it definitely could cause injury. Thanks for the advice!
I should mention this is only on one side. Hen is foraging and eating ok otherwise. I only noticed today when I came back home. There’s no sneezing that I saw from her either so maybe an injury?
Alright, thank you, everyone. I got her toe to stop bleeding. I managed to get some styptic powder on her, but she did pull off the bandage that I put on her foot. On the bright side, she is eating extremely well.
Did anyone use neosporin for this type of wound before? I heard it’s usually used on the foot, but I have it with me right now so wondering if it’s good on the toes
It’s good to hear that it cleared up for your hen! Yes, mine is a blue laced Wyandotte with pretty clean feet, besides having dirt on it. Do u think I should wrap her toe in anything to prevent her from picking on it after putting medicine?
Hello, I’m requesting some help for my hen that injured her toenail today. I think she got it stuck on a bite of wire while jumping off the roof of the chicken coop. I think the bleeding has stopped but is there anything I should put on her would to help her?
She’s been laying for a while now. I think this year she should be at least 4.
I give them crumble feed, oats, and have recently been giving some boiled egg to them too. They also enjoy getting some crushed eggshell, but I don’t do oyster shell. Sometimes they get let out to forage for...
Monitoring her for the moment. As of right now, she’s being a normal chicken and eating well, along with digging around. She seemed excited to be let outside too.
A soft shelled egg was just laid by one of my blue laced wynadottes and I found that it was mixed with blood. Sorry, there was some bedding that got stuck with it in the picture below. I never seen this happen beforehand, but any ideas on what it could be? I should also add that the blood isn’t...
I offered some mushy food yesterday with some acv, but both hens didn't seem to like it. I'll try again later with just water and crumble. I saw her drink a good amount of water last night just before bed. As for her diet, she seems to have taken a liking to a goji berry tree I have in my...
Hello all. Yesterday, one of my blue laced Wyandottes was acting a little strange. Her wings were hanging a little low from her body, while her droppings all contained sort of yellowish urates. She had also held her tail a bit lower than usual.
When I let her out, she wasn’t moving around as...
