That wouldn't account for the blisters though. Sure the scabs, but not the literal pox.

I live next to a couple of ponds. I can't do anything about the mosquitoes. :'( he was alone in the tractor because we have two roos. The tractor has hardware cloth on it, so he couldn't have been pecked to the best of my knowledge. Thank you for your help.

My bird, Aiolos, is being exposed to his new flockmates (who are still young and have not been named yet). Those flockmates were quarantined for over two months. I thought it was safe to start introduction, especially since the new hens have no symptoms. They're also still eating medicated...

I ended up getting five leghorns from TSC. Thanks for the directory!

Hiya, I'm relatively new to Texas but I've had my boy Aiolos for about a year. I'm actually in Mesquite near Dallas. Any one interested in being friends please drop me a message because I don't know many people in the area! I'd love to purchase some hens but I don't know who to contact or how to...

To update everyone, Princess turned out to be a Prince indeed. He ended up being all brown though! He went to a good home in Pennsylvania.

Y'all, I kept the roo 😂😂😂 he's my puddin pie.

I'm only looking for hens, as I already have two roos I need some more hens! Preferred pullets, but will take older birds as well. Just need three! Please message and let me know if you have any birds for sale in my area.

That's really unfortunate. I won't be able to keep it, as I already have a roo. Thank you.

This baby was picked up at a local feed store, and I was wondering what the specifics were. Any one have an idea? I want to say its between two and three weeks old.

Can you post pics of the foot? If the severity isn't high you might be able to just do Epsom salt and iodine soaks, but sometimes you have to cut the infection out - which in my opinion is much more suited for a aviary or farm vet instead of doing so at home.

It's taking FOREVER, I didn't realize it could take so long to heal bumblefoot! My birds never had it, so this is kind of new territory to me.

First and foremost, this is the chicken section. Theres a duck section as well, so you might browse and get some info from there. I've raised two separate flocks of ducklings to adulthood and I never once used yeast. I also did not provide grit. I only give my chickens extra calcium, in the...

Just moved back in with my mom and I'm currently treating her small flock for bumblefoot, unfortunately she didnt realize that ducks could get it. She thought it was a chickens-only problem. So after they're healed up we'll post and show you the babes!
