    Severe Bumblefoot? (pictures included)

    It looks like he has MYCOPLASMA SYNOVIAE. It is a disorder where fluid gets into the leg. I would sparate him from the flock immediatly because it is contaigious. It is an infection. I suggest this. Change the water daily. Treat the water with chlorine or citric acid (Mix 2 Tbsp in 1cup of...

    Advice on what questions to ask when selecting a breeder

    Do you mean hatchers or breeders. Hatchers are really the only thing you have to but things for. I would ask if it is automatic or if it can be controlled from the outside.

    Integration woes

    I had this problem as well. I had to go to Florida so I introduced 3 week old chicks to the flock. They all died. I also integrated some chickens the same age as yours. They pecked hard and there was some blood. Don't worry. I recommend expanding the run and giving the weaker chicken some room...

    Golden Laced Wyandotte

    can you show me a pic of them? it is best to feather sex them when they are day-week olds. It may just be a smal bud which all chickens have. I have also heard of females turning into males if there is no rooster in the flock. Very Very rare though.

    Limping chick

    My chicken had mareks. It was sad and I had to kill it and bury it so it didn't spread. It causes paralysis. If it flops around and can't move part of itself. i am afraid you are out of luck. So sorry. But it could just be an injured leg.

    Coughing / wheezing chicken - please help!

    I think that it is fine. My friend's chickens and mine sneeze often as well. That actually looks like a respitory infection though. It is a very common thing with chickens. You might want to go to a vet. The sneezing is normal. A high pitched, quick noise. The coughing is weird though.
