    Bumblefoot help please

    2 weeks ago. I just double checked, wow. Seems like a long time. Last week when I changed the dressing this hardish yellow pussy plug thing came out of it. I thought that was a good sign. But it's still puffy and now it looks white around outside.

    Bumblefoot help please

    Ok...my tear old roo has bumblefoot. He is a Jersey Giant named Foghorn. A few months ago I noticed something wrong with foot. Soaked it and kept my eye on him. Got worse. I was 120% it was bumblefoot. I did the research and watched a few videos on treatment. Did the soaks first. Then I...

    Foot issues

    He holds it up. He will walk on to but with a limp. Today I noticed him spending more time laying down by his hens rather than standing on it.

    Foot issues

    Here is a photo of his foot again. I do see what appears to be a cut or pimple thing on top. Nothing under. I did separate him. Does this mean it IS bumblefoot?

    Foot issues

    He is almost a year. He does walk around but with a strong limp. I tried taking a video to post but it isnt the right format I guess. I have a coop I use for isolation so I will put him in there. I will have to get pics of the underside of foot tonight because when I try and catch him I can...

    Foot issues

    Thank you for a reply! I'll get him again and check under it. I had touched it but I was so afraid of hurting him I barely touched it. He is just about 1 year old. The bedding is a plain non dyed wood shaving. I'll measure the roosts height but I know it's not too high. Maybe 2 to 3 ft up...

    Foot issues

    Hi there, I have never yet, in my 7 years of raising my friends, had any foot issues. Then today I noticed my Jersey Giant Roo limping and favoring one of his feet. I took him in to have my son take pics. I googled chicken foot injuries or diseases. And I just dont know if it is bumblefoot...

    Issues with feet and legs on newly hatched chick

    My chick hatched yesterday.. I still have her in the brooder. Her legs are splayed and toes are curled. I don't know what do do. I've looked in my books and haven't found anything for the combined issues. This is only the 3rd chick I've ever hatched. She was 2 days early, had trouble getting out...

    Buffs Having issues - could be mites but not sure

    A few of these hens are around 2 years old, some about a year. When they molt does it have feathers literally broken off? I was thinking of getting some of that feather fixer just in case. I read another post that talked about chickens lacking protein. Any suggestions on a supplement? And...

    My Hens Have Broken Feathers On Their Backs

    I have the same problem going on with my hens. It was just one that I thought was due to a too aggressive Roo. But that Roo has been gone for a few months, and I am now noticing that the one's back is slightly worse and now a few other hens have the broken feathers on their backs. I am very...

    Buffs Having issues - could be mites but not sure

    I am not sure what is wrong - i am wondering if it could be mites. I have 7 adult Buffs living in a large coop. I have 8 other Orps living in another coop, and then some baby orps in a third. The large Buffs have been looking a bit off. It started with one that seemed to be losing her...

    Something is wrong

    Thank you very much for the feedback. I was concerned it was mites or something. I checked their coops for buggy things and I didn't notice anything. They spend a majority of time roaming the land and bathing in dirt. It was just odd to me that it was only 1 Hen and then it went to 2. I did...

    Something is wrong

    Started out with just 1 chicken. I thought it was from a mean rooster. We have since found good homes for the roosters but now i have 2 more chickens with this happening to their backs. I will be searching forums but i thought i would go this route as well. Thank you for any help. I love my...

    Hi there, I am a new mama of Chocolate Orpingtons. I have 6 eggs, but only 2 have hatched and it is almost 4pm. One of them has a pip hole but hasn't gone any further for the last few hours. My question is - How many days past the due date could you expect eggs to continue to hatch?. And...

    Hi there fellow Chicken Lovers!! I have 2 young Roosters. Tyson and Bruno. I also have 11 Hens ranging in age from 5 months to almost 2 years. My 2 roosters are very...aggressive. Suddenly about a week ago I noticed this hard crusted over open wound in one of my Hens. Brownie is her name...
