    Possible bumble foot

    Right I knew that about the penicillin I’ll just have to refresh on dosing and giving the injection if I have to. I live in Tennessee usually I can find what I need at the feed stores. If this tropical system keeps brewing in the gulf we may get a mass amount of rain off of it :( just to add the...

    Possible bumble foot

    Right nothing under there when I wash it off. I have examined every inch of her leg and foot and I can’t find any obvious deformity or anywhere it could be poked where bacteria could’ve gotten in. I’m a nurse so I know not to go poking and digging at things so I’ve listened to advice on her and...

    Possible bumble foot

    Yes it’s just dirt she just ran through the one muddy spot in the yard (they’re free range in a large yard) I’ve been soaking it a week now in Espon salt. I had her penned up but she didn’t like it and was pacing which is just as bad for it as her running around. She’s still limping really...

    Possible bumble foot

    Well I have bad news I left her in the small coop for a few days then let her out as she was pacing and unhappy constantly so I figured if it was a strain she’d do just as much damage there. Today I rechecked it because it’s not getting any better and it looks like it could be the start of...

    Possible bumble foot

    Thank you all you’ve relieved my worries I was so worried she’d end up having bumble foot with all the recent severely wet weather. She’s just such a sweet girl very friendly even after only being here a week or so. I’d hate for something to happen to her

    Possible bumble foot

    I’ve posted pictures of both feet I just can’t see an obvious issue but I’ve soaked her feet put her in a clean small coop away from the others to see if she heals. I’m starting to wonder if this could’ve been an issue like splayed leg as a hatchling and it’s normal for her she doesn’t pull it...

    Possible bumble foot

    Thank you! That’s what I’m doing with her now. I’m going to leave her confined and soak her legs. I was just so worried with the excessive rain we’ve had. Even though they had plenty of dry areas to get our yard was like a mote. So I was constantly worried about their feet especially hers. I’ll...

    Possible bumble foot

    Okay that sounds about like what I’m doing now. I couldn’t find any fractures or anything that’s obviously out of place or deformed. The weird thing was she was in a small pen when I was adjusted her to the flock so I’m wondering if she was already hurt when she came here. Because I didn’t...

    Possible bumble foot

    i have a new australorp I got from a friend who developed a limp after being here for about two days. We’ve had her a little over a week now and she’s still limping and I’m concerned as we have had flooding rain for days last week and even though the chickens have plenty of dry area between...

    Help with wormer

    I’m sorry for all the questions. I just haven’t had chickens since growing up on the farm and back then my grandfather only had a few Rhode Island reds and mix breeds that ran all over the place and weren’t backyard pet chickens like mine and I just worry about getting the dose right. I really...

    Help with wormer

    Let me ask you this though how do you recommend measuring and giving such a tiny dose to my pullets? Their prob only 3-4lbs. The older buff orps are prob 5lbs so half the 0.033ml I have two one year one laying english orps that are probably around 7-8lbs

    Help with wormer

    I trust your knowledge I’ve seen the Equimax suggestion and I like the idea of it because the ivermectin and praziquantel together make a broad spectrum for coverage. I really really do appreciate the help
