    Need advice on bumblefoot treatment. Am I on the right track?

    Hi all! I’m hoping someone can give me a little advice. This is my first experience with bumblefoot and my girl has it on both feet. We’ve removed the original black scab and some of the yellowish gunk underneath. These pics are after a week of soaking, removing gunk, medicating, and bandaging...

    Chicken Hiccups?? Please help, I'm lost here.

    Thank you so much for your reply. I don't think I was very clear about which chicken was which in my original post so I amended it. My SS was the one making the hiccuping/vomiting motion last night. This morning she is eating and drinking and seems to be fine. My BO that had the distended neck...

    Chicken Hiccups?? Please help, I'm lost here.

    I'm really hoping someone can help me. I already have one sick chicken in the house recuperating and I'm not really sure what was wrong with her. Now my 9 month old Speckled Sussex is exhibiting strange behavior. I have a camera in the coop and when I checked the videos this morning, she was up...

Yesterday when I let my girls out, I noticed that one of my Buff Orpingtons wasnt roaming as much as my other 2 chickens and she kept closing her eyes.

    So it would be possible to have chickens again, as long as they are vaccinated? Is there a chance that our currently healthy girl will survive? Should we cull both birds and start fresh next year with vaccinated birds? We bought these birds from a local farm and I don't think they were vaccinated.

    Since these are our first chickens, would they have had to be infected with Marek's when we bought them? None of our immediate neighbors have chickens, so how would they have gotten infected? Thanks so much for all of the replies. I feel so lost as to what to do. If this girl dies, that only...

    My husband and I are new to this and bought 3 chicks in February that were 7-8 weeks old. Our Buff Orpington did not make it. After about 3 months, she very quickly progressed from a limp to not being able to walk and not eating or drinking. My husband put her out of her misery after a few days...
