    Is this a callous or bumblefoot?

    How likely is it that it will go away on it's own? It is really difficult to get him to stay still, plus I'm afraid of hurting him or causing him more discomfort in the process. Is it OK to soak his foot in lavender scented Epsom salt? That's what I have handy at the moment. Perhaps apply...

    Hen is suddenly acting erratically while stumbling.

    Hello guys, I hope someone can give me some insight as to what could be the problem with my 2 year old Silkie hen. Suddenly and for the first time ever she began to stare upwards while stumbling as she ran around in a manic way almost like on some sort of mission. Her beak was quivering the...
