    swollen feet on my chicken

    no pic but she seems to be walking kinda of on her toes. I have no idea what she was eating before now she eats laying pellets and I give them fresh veggies, plus they have free range of my yard so they eat whatever they find there too. yesterday I saw two of them catch and eat a frog!

    swollen feet on my chicken

    I bought an adult chicken, a black austolop (sorry, bad speller) I think. I was told she was around 2 years old. I know she won't lay much but I just like watching my chickens in the yard. anyhow her feet are swollen at the base of her toes, one worse than the other. but there are no scabs...

    How to catch a skittish rooster

    it sounds crazy but we have been able to get our chickens out of the trees using a 1x3" board. we just slide it up under their feet, they step right onto it, and lower them down. but it has to be when they're really asleep if you try it too early they just get annoyed.

    who is she?

    Quote: thank you and she is the sweetest bird. she got attacked by a racoon a few months ago and I had to give her dressing to the bite so for a month she was in the house with us and she never complained. it was great. and when she was a chick she used to fly out of the box to sit on my lap

    need help now, plz

    Quote: the onlly reason I know as much as I do is because I read a really great article on maggots used on chronic wounds. they use them to remove all the dead tissue because they are better at it than the surgeons. they leave all the nice healthy stuff.

    swelling just below her vent?!

    Quote: I am going to have to get one. I don't have a digital camera though so it's going to be kinda tricky. I think I"m going to try and give her a bath, that seems to be good for most things.

    the maggots will not tunnel through to her brain unless the tissues are already necrotic. in which case it doesn't make a difference. maggots only eat dead or necrotic tissue.

    need help now, plz

    I would also tell you to take the kitten to a vet if at all possible. maggots are gross in a wound but not always a terrible thing. they only eat dead tissue so they can help "clean out" all the bad tissue. they have used maggots on people. the only problem with regular maggots is that they...

    confused chicken

    I think I have a light brahma hen but she seem to think she is a light brahma rooster. I'm not really sure how to tell because she isn't crowing and not laying eggs. she is also trying to mate with one of the other hens. but she doesn't have the typical male feathers or comb. Has anyone had...
