    Second opinion of Bumblefoot

    Excellent source, thank you. I will try this once I can get a small area set aside for her to be separated from the rest of the flock. I will update with progress.

    Second opinion of Bumblefoot

    Aloha all, I have a year old Olive egger who has been limping around for about two weeks. Today I snagged her to take a look at her feet. I'm almost certain she has Bumblefoot, but I wanted to get confirmation before I try any at home treatment. There are no poultry vets where I live, though I...

    Slightly odd eggs, curious community input~

    Good day everyone, I have a mixed flock with 5 laying hens right now. The hens are producing really nice eggs regularly, with appropriately thick shells, rich color, appropriate weights, etc. Last week I noticed one hen laid an egg that looked like more white speckling was added after her usual...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I got two of five today. Still waiting on my hen who hatched out some chicks (two cockerels, one hen) to start laying again. Also dealing with my rooster being more mean and finches finding their ways into the coop and stressing my birds.

    Keeping mongooses out

    I haven't had them climb by coop either. I was not able to dig to put hardware cloth under my run, but I did an apron and its kept them out so far (6 months).

    First time, am nervous but set. Any advice?

    Thank you for your thoughts. I am unsure if I would part them out first, but I do see the benefit of removing the spines to make their tiny bodies easier to deal with. I really appreciate ya!

    First time, am nervous but set. Any advice?

    Hey all, I have two roosters that need to be culled. I have decided that they will have less trauma by having a humane death versus other solutions. However, this is my first time killing intentionally, let alone pets. Below are my questions or uneasy points. Please feel free to answer any or...

    When You Give A Rooster a Second Chance

    So, I wanted to get a pulse from the community on an issue that is coming to a head. I have read previous articles, posts, and polls regarding culling aggressive roosters. Reason for my post is the roosters in question are pets and I am curious if anyone has been able to change aggressive...

    A different type of What Breed is this?! Trying to suss out which of my pullets laid this egg~

    Sorry I couldn't get a great one of her, but the group shots show you her size well. She's much smaller than the same age Olive Eggers, much closer to the Sebrights.

    A different type of What Breed is this?! Trying to suss out which of my pullets laid this egg~

    Hey all, as the title says this is a different type of request! I have a mixed flock that has layers aged six months and a set of three pullets that just turned 15 weeks old. The expected Australorp brown and Sebright cream eggs were found in the nest box this morning. When I went out to give...

    Pullet or cockrel?

    I first noted my silver rooster trying to crow as "..a weird trilly chirp/kazoo noise" that my friends identified as a Pokemon noise, lol

    Pullet or cockrel?

    My Sebright roosters are LOUD. My pullet likes to yell at the other pullets if they come close to her and sometimes just likes to sing me the song of her people- braaaaa braa braAAAAaaa~ If you heard one tiny crow, I think its only a matter of time that you find out if my suspicion of Nugget...
