    Chicken molting & walking sideways

    I know this is an old post but how did your hen do? Mine is inside and doing exactly what you describe. I have only been able to get her to eat tuna, blueberries and raw egg. She doesn’t want her feed or water. How long will this last? Thanks!

    Hen with yellow urates

    Hello, Today was a sad day. I brought my hen in thinking she was having trouble laying an egg. By 2:30 pm she had passed away:( I knew she had a chronic health issue because was always panting and she never tried to run. I felt pretty sure she had water belly as her abdomen did not feel like...

    Hens eggs look very bad after travel

    Thank you!! I have 8 hens, so how do I dose the 600 mg? Is it per bird individually? They returned to their original home after living with my daughter for 3 months. They went back in to their original coop. However all of them are being treated for scaly leg mites.

    Hens eggs look very bad after travel

    Hello, I had to make a 13 hour drive with 8 hens and my roo. I know that travel is very stressful for a chicken so I expected some issues. In 4 days I have soft shelled eggs, brittle to the point that when I touched it then eggs broke, and several eggs that I cant even explain where they...

    What’s wrong with roosters foot

    Well I managed to catch him! I looked under his food and he does have a big bumble the size of his foot pad. I put vetrymycin on it the neosporin. I ordered a wound drawing salve to see if I can avoid cutting it out. He is very impatient but at least I know I have a minute to put meds on his...

    What’s wrong with roosters foot

    I was wondering if it might be mites. He doesn’t have anything on the bottom pad. I’m not sure how he will do with me picking him up. He was a stray rooster that someone dumped :( lucky for me he is the best! I will see if I can get the oil on his legs tonight. Do you think I need to give him...

    What’s wrong with roosters foot

    Hi all! A couple days ago I noticed my roo holding his foot up. Yesterday I spotted this red area between his toes. He is walking on it and really doesn’t act like it’s bothering him. He is not an easy rooster to go up and grab but I did manage to get antibacterial spray on it last night. Any...

    Hens ate bugs from stagnant water

    I’m freaking out! My husband emptied a bin that had compost in it. When he dumped the water that accumulated …a bunch of meal worm or fly larvae spilled out. The next thing I know my chickens are eating the bugs!!! This water has been standing for at least 2 weeks! What can I do?? Do I need to...
