    Bumble foot and possible spreading infection

    We'll be changing it out again later tonight so we'll be sure to pack more cream in there then. Should I continue to put hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol on it to kill surface stuff immediately?

    Bumble foot and possible spreading infection

    We figured she might be. I know I would be. 😅 When I removed the scabs, I didn't see any kernel come out with it, but did see little chunks of it in the foot, so we dug those out as best we could. However, it it's still very hard around the area where the scabs were. It looked like we were...

    Bumble foot and possible spreading infection

    Sorry, I didn't get pictures, but I'll try to take some when we change things out tomorrow.

    Bumble foot and possible spreading infection

    There were scabs on the bottom of her feet. The red, swollen bumps were on the tops of her feet, between her toes, with no scabs. We soaked her feet, pulled the scabs and what bit of the kernels we could out from the bottom of her feet, cleaned out with hydrogen peroxide, wiped them clean, then...

    Bumble foot and possible spreading infection

    One of my rainbow dixies possibly has bumble foot. Tonight I noticed a red bump on each foot between the toes, one was squishy and the other a little hard. Are these signs of infection? Should I try to squeeze the infection out at all, or just treat from the bottom of the feet where the bumble...

    Walnut kitty litter... is it safe to use in the coop?

    If you're putting cat poop in your compost, you should use that compost for flower beds or other decorative beds. If you sift or the poop and pee, you can use the remaining cat litter in regular compost.

    Walnut kitty litter... is it safe to use in the coop?

    Where are you getting the discounted bags??? I would LOVE to get those, especially if I'm going to start using them in my coop. My thought process is that I can get 26lbs for $22, whereas the hemp bedding is 30L (6.5-8lbs) for $70 or more. Also that I'm already buying it for my cats, so why...

    Walnut kitty litter... is it safe to use in the coop?

    I'm current using wood shavings because that's all I can easily get around here, but I want to switch to something better for the chickens. I've heard about hemp bedding - rather expensive - coffee bean bedding with the caffeine removed, sand, and pellets. The coffee seemed esky interesting to...

    Chicken crushed - I've found help, but always accept more

    My chicken was crushed last night by a piece of wood falling on her, then all of the chickens standing on the wood, and then me standing on it. I had no idea that the chicken was under there as I didn't see the incident happen and was trying to shoo the chickens off the board so I could pick it...

    URGENT!!! CRUSHED CHICKEN!!!

    I understand that the thread is from 2013, but the information is still good to learn from, and if I had waited on people replying to a new thread then the chicken might not have made it for people to give me advice (my husband thought there was nothing that could be done because she looked so...

    URGENT!!! CRUSHED CHICKEN!!!

    Thank you everyone for posting all of these comments, all of this advice. There was an accident with our chickens and one of them was crushed under some wood. All of the other chickens were either standing on the wood or just laying by it making no noise or anything to alert me to a problem...
