    2 chickens with bumble foot

    Thank you. I will call the vet tomorrow and see if they will see them. Do you know if it's common in ameracanas? I've never had this problem before and now both of mine have it.

    2 chickens with bumble foot

    I will post pictures tomorrow when I change the bandage. They are both limping, swollen and warm not really red though. I think I will do like you said and just leave them alone now. At least the one that didn't have surgery, now I will have to keep an eye on the one that is open. She is...

    2 chickens with bumble foot

    Hey all. I just tried to perform surgery after reading many tutorials and watching videos. There was no "kernel" in my chickens foot, just a lot of pus and I nearly passed out. Anyway I found another chicken with bumble foot after and now Im not sure what to do. I don't think I can handle...

    Integrating smaller breed

    I did some searching and i think she is a japanese bantam. She is old enough to lay so im guessing about 16 weeks. The ameracaunas do not pick on her but I'm scared my older girls will. I was thinking about seperating the meaner ones while letting them integrate with the rest of the flock. Any...

    Integrating smaller breed

    I have successfully integrated several flocks but my newest flock has a very tiny chicken in it. They are beyond old enough but I'm still scared to mix them because of how small this one chicken is. Does anyone know if bigger chickens will pick on a smaller chicken just because she is small...

    Eggs Hatching, switching coops

    Oh and another thing, my broody never gets off the nest on her own. After about 3 days of going broody I realized that she wasn't eating or drinking and she looked awful. I was taking her off twice a day and now only once a day. I give her food in her nest and water. I figured if she eats and...

    Eggs Hatching, switching coops

    Thanks! I tried to get them into the new coop tonight and they won't even get close to it. Its like they know I'm going to lock them in. I did shut the old coop and put golf balls in the new nesting boxes, so hopefully they figure it out in the morning. If they can't get to their regular nesting...

    Eggs Hatching, switching coops

    Hello BackYard Chickeners! This is my first time posting but I have read many threads. I have some questions that I could not find answers to. 1) We gave our broody hen eggs to hatch a little over two weeks ago around 7 in the evening. Does that count as day one? I am not sure if today is day 17...
