We have three roosters that we need to re-home because we don’t have the space for them. They haven’t been aggressive and are fairly docile, we incubated them from eggs and raised them. They are silver wyandotte and easter egger crosses, all very pretty.

Recently we discovered one of our hens had bumblefoot, it wasnt terrible but it was definitely noticeable. after that, we noticed a mild case on one of our older hens. i just checked the rest of the flock, and they all have it. theres not really any swelling, or redness, just small black scabs...
we have two mottled cochin bantams, one is about 3 months and the other is about 2 and a half. the eldest one is norbert, and the youngest is hedwig. we’re not for sure whether or not these guys are hens or not

the hatchery, and several other people, have told us around 95 degrees for the first week and up to 105 if chilled. the chicks feet were cold to the touch
one of our little banty chicks has gotten really drowsy. it was up and taking water, looking around a bit earlier, but now it’s just laying down. it’s under a heat lamp, has electrolytes, and it had a bit of gel that came with it. it’s head has gotten droopy. what can we do???!
