    Curious what is wrong with this egg :)

    My 1 year old Easter Egger laid her first egg after the winter but it came out a little funny. I think it’s just a strange dud egg but does anybody know what this actually is? I’m not worried but just really curious on what happened. But if there is something I should worry about please tell me...

    Those are just spots on her feet but I'll look at her footpad again in the morning to make sure

    Hen w/ swollen foot and lump

    I checked her feet again for Bumblefoot and didn't notice any scabs or the starting of a scab. I'll definitely put her somewhere to rest and see if the swelling gets any better. Thank you so much! EDIT: There's no swelling in her other foot/ankle.

    How do your free range chickens not get eaten

    The hawks most likely won't lose interest when they get older. I'm able to free range since my chickens have easy access to cover. There's a chance the hawks might leave once they learn there's no way to get the chickens. The hawks will still go after the chickens once they're older they just...

    Hen w/ swollen foot and lump

    Hello! My two year old Partridge Rock is currently suffering from a swollen foot and a bump on her foot. I noticed this a while ago and checked her feet for bumblefoot but there was no scab. There’s still no scab to indicate bumblefoot. Just recently I’ve noticed it’s given her problems while...

    Chicken has open wound and flap of loose skin on neck

    Sorry for being so silent lately on the subject. By the time the vet had responded they thought it was too late to glue it back. They had just recommended to keep spraying it with Vetericyn. We kept her separated for a few more days and spraying Vetericyn on it a couple of times a day. The wound...

    Chicken has open wound and flap of loose skin on neck

    We got her wrapped up and will be calling a vet Monday and seeing if they’ll take a chicken. Everybody is closed on the weekends and I’m hoping Corona doesn’t get them shut down on the week days.

    Chicken has open wound and flap of loose skin on neck

    All of our local vet offices are closed and won’t open until tomorrow. The 24/7 ones will just be too expensive for us. I will be calling a local one first thing in the morning tomorrow. We don’t have antibiotics but I am keeping it as clean as possible without stressing her out. I am sorry if I...

    Chicken has open wound and flap of loose skin on neck

    UPDATED PHOTOS I have better photos. Plus good news and 2 parts of bad news. Kinda Bad News: First part, I sprayed blu kote on it when it first happened (because I was scared of others pecking her) so you can’t tell how it really looks. Wish I hadn’t of done that :/ Second part, she accidentally...

    Chicken has open wound and flap of loose skin on neck

    Thank you. I’m going to discuss these options over with my brother and see what he thinks the best option would be. He’s more experienced than me. I’ll keep posting updates in case anyone else is interested in the outcome.

    Chicken has open wound and flap of loose skin on neck

    It’s hard to tell but it is a flap of skin and not just a cut. I guess my title for the thread wasn’t that accurate. Oops

    Chicken has open wound and flap of loose skin on neck

    Sorry for the lock of photos she doesn't like to stay still and I can't get better ones until my extra help comes back. But I will post some extra ones from yesterday. If we closed it up I'm scared it will get infected but that seems like the best available option. What glue do you recommend and...

    Chicken has open wound and flap of loose skin on neck

    She’s still active. Eating, drinking and acting normal. The flap of skin appears swollen. We didn’t see any damage to her crop or other organs. We have her separated. The vet isn’t an option. Still spraying it with Vetericyn but we can order Chlorhexidene 2%. Any other advice? We might just have...
