    Help ....Noticed large blister on hens foot

    My daughter just sent me a picture of a large blister that has shown up on the topside of one of my hen's feet. She is walking just fine with no limp. Not sure what caused this or what to do to help her. She is a Buff Orpington and is a little over a year old, weighs about 7lb - 8lb.

    Is there anyone who butchers/processes chickens & turkeys in SE Texas?

    Thanks for the responses. I guess it's time for me to learn how to do the deed myself....ughhhh. I was hoping one of the local 4H FFA clubs could do it but no luck yet.

    Rooster comb

    Was he exposed to freezing temps for a long period of time (touch of frost bite) or are you experiencing some mosquitoes in the area where you live (dry pox)? If it is dry pox (from mosquitoes) he will clear up in a couple of weeks and only will get dry pox once. If it is a little frost...

    Help! Chicken eating eggs

    How do I get my Buff Orpington hen to stop eating eggs? Doesn't do it everyday, but at least 2-3 times in a week. I work, so I gather any eggs before I go to work, when I get home and then one more time when I close up the coop for the night. Advice is welcomed.
