    Gout or different foot problem?

    It doesn’t appear that his spurs are affecting his walking, though I will cut them. I think his toes curling a bit are mostly genetics, as that’s long been an issue, though it didn’t affect him much when he was younger. Thank you for the advice.

    Gout or different foot problem?

    My 5 year old EE roo has had foot problems for a little bit. He doesn’t have any scabs on the bottom or top of his feet, he was bleeding yesterday from a cut you can see on one of his feet, but that’s from scratching it on something outside. I’ve been soaking his feet in warm water with apple...

    Rooster is wheezing, respiratory disease?

    Thank you for the advice. He's sounding a lot better today, and I'll clean the coop this weekend; hopefully that will resolve the issue. The coop does get stifling and disgusting this time of year, since the birds almost never go out, which is why I try to air it out as much as possible. As for...

    Rooster is wheezing, respiratory disease?

    My EE roo started wheezing a couple of days ago. At first it was quieter, barely noticeable, but now it sounds almost like he's snoring. His comb's a good color, he's been eating and drinking, his eyes and nose aren't running or swelling, and he keeps his beak opened slightly, but isn't gaping...

    Help! Weird feet problems

    Hi, thanks for responding so quickly! We feed her layer pellet, and her only treats are sunflower seeds and some fruit. Her feet are warm to the touch and while she hasn't been limping she's been sitting a lot more and will stand on the foot shown with the sore over the one with the swollen...

    Help! Weird feet problems

    I thought one of my chickens had bumblefoot on both feet, so put in epsom salt bath and was going to remove what was causing it. When I was doing a closer inspection I found that the foot that had a dark spot wasn't really a core, it was more like the scales on the bottom of her feet swelled...

    Help!!!

    Unfortunately we don’t have a vet near us that could x-ray her. I have tried to feel for an egg but haven’t felt anything.

    Help!!!

    Our 4 year old EE Buttercup has been walking with her butt down. Her tail is up, and she’s walking around eating and drinking like normal. She’s also been roosting normally. I’ve checked her for flystrike, as another hen recently had that, but didn’t find anything. I’ve also gotten eggs from...

    Egg bound? Pasty butt? Help!

    Hey, so gave her a bath, and while I was drying her off I found that she has flystrike.😢 Picked some of the maggots out and put some peroxide on it. If any one has any helpful input I’d appreciate it! First time dealing with flystrike, let’s see how it goes...

    Egg bound? Pasty butt? Help!

    Thank you! She’s three years old, and she did lay eggs, though I haven’t seen her lay any for the past few days. I haven’t seen any mites or lice, and her crops been looking good.

    Egg bound? Pasty butt? Help!

    Hi, so one of my hens has been acting strange lately. She’s been standing puffed up a lot, and doesn’t walk around very often. At first I thought she was egg bound so I gave her the warm salt bath a couple times, and she seemed to improve after that, though I didn’t feel an egg. I also gave...
