No I don’t have a rooster. She has the saddle because her back was bald from im assuming the other hens pecking her back. Thanks for the tips!

This is my hen who’s at the bottom of the pecking order. She’s had wounds before. It’s hard to describe where it is. It’s like on the top of her wing bone, kind of like the “elbow” area. The pics with her saddle are from a few weeks ago and the others where it looks more like a scab is from...

i just gave her a calcium tablet through a syringe. how often should i give it to her?

so i noticed today my buff orpington (2.5 years old, healthy weight) seemed to have a prolapsed vent (see pics). she seems otherwise healthy but i haven’t been monitoring her eating, drinking, pooping and it’s possible she hasn’t been laying since we’re not getting as many as usual. i did some...

We feed them Dumor 16% layer pellets. Coop is 12x8 feet run is 16x8 feet. No rooster

Background: I have a hen who is definitely on the bottom of the pecking order, ever since she was introduced with 2 others a year ago (we followed all the rules of integrating chickens). She previously had a pecking wound on her head that I was able to heal. She is still picked on regularly and...

I attached photos. I haven’t been able to inspect all of the chickens but this one has these white flakes in her feathers and she’s also been molting. I compared it to pictures of mites on google and hers look more flaky than the photos I saw. The other hens also have some white flecks on the...

Sorry, I only just saw this! She’s doing okay, still has a limp but seems otherwise healthy. I’m just not sure how to help her

I’ve posted about this chicken before, here’s the last one for reference: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/could-use-some-more-help-with-ongoing-bumble-foot-issues.1490334/#post-24852871 Her bumble foot infection is gone, I was able to pull the plug out and heal it. But she still has a...

Thank you for your reply! I think this is probably the case with Frankie who has the one infected foot. Unfortunately with the double bumble foot girl, I haven’t actually been able to get any sort of plug out yet and there does seem to be yellowish under the scab area and her feet have gotten...

Previous post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/help-with-bumble-foot.1487829/#post-24804028 I’m having the same issue with 2 chickens. One has it on one foot and the other has both feet. The main problem I’m having right now is that all the infected feet are still hard and swollen but...

Thank you for the tips!

thank you!

previous post on this chicken for context: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/advice-on-residual-bumble-foot-problems.1486032/ So since this post i’ve been doing epsom salt soaks and applying prid. Today I pulled out the plug. I’m a little frustrated because the vet said the...

Sorry in advance for the long post. So i’ve had one of my hens being treated for bumble foot, she had her 3rd appointment yesterday. They’ve been putting her in pressure relieving bandages (the pool noodle ones), and did laxer therapy. Unfortunately we caught it pretty late when it was already...
