    Bumblefoot surgery - with pics and "how to"

    Quote: I actually got a ton of stuff out when I did hers. Two pretty big size kernels of crap. I looked at her foot earlier and I think there might be a piece way up between two of her toes, so I guess I'm gonna go in through the top this time. Would do it now, but I'm waiting till my dad gets...

    Bumblefoot surgery - with pics and "how to"

    Chicken toe issue! Please help!

    Thanks for the advice! I went ahead and did that earlier since I figured if it didn't help it couldn't really hurt either. I'm hoping it helps since the poor girl looks just pitiful.

    2 week old chick with crooked beak

    Last year when we got out Americana chicks one of them ended up with a severe cross beak like that. She was pretty lethargic and mopey since she didn't want to eat. Called a local vet who luckily had a bird guy on staff. He was able to trim her beak and filed a line in one side of her beak...

    Chicken toe issue! Please help!

    Hi guys, I was out today and noticed one of my girls limping. Poor thing, always seems to be one thing or another with her. The middle toe on one of her feet is swollen and is missing a scale on the top part of the toe. I'm thinking she might have gotten stepped on by one of the horses or...

    EE with beak where top and bottom do not line up right

    One of my chicks recently had the same problem. However with mine she was much smaller than the others and wasn't able to eat well at all. Took her to a local vet who works a lot with birds and he trimmed her beak, told me what to do for the next few days and it straightened right out.
