    Bumblefoot and ducks

    Educate me. I thought bumble foot was an infection caused by a wound in the foot. How is that different from a prickle?

    Bumblefoot and ducks

    What is prickle in the foot ? The vet said not to put him in water yet but I am concerned because he is not walking at all but he sure is growing. Anyone that has experience with this, should I put him in a clean kiddie pool a couple of times a day?

    Bumblefoot and ducks

    They r in a new spot that that still has grass. Its 10 x 20 and there are only 3 ducks in there. The vet did get a bunch of puss out of his foot. When they were in the house they were on puppy pads

    Bumblefoot and ducks

    I have 3 ducklings from TS. I think they are around 6 weeks old. I thought one of them, Donald, broke his foot. Didn't know what to do, so we took him to the vet. Vet said bumblefoot and treated him. I have had chickens for more than 10 years and not one case of bumblefoot. Does this occur...

    New to ducks

    I tried a shallow cake pan and they loved it. What a mess, though!

    New to ducks

    They are so big. We have just three and they are in the same cage I can brood 15 chicks in. Not sure how old they are. Anyone have pics of 4 week old ducks. I really want to get them outside but I don't want to do it too soon.

    New to ducks

    I have had chickens for years. A week and a half ago, my daughter brought home 3 ducklings from tractor supply. Pretty sure one Pekin and 2 khaki campbells. Yesterday we tried putting them in water to let them swim. They totally freaked out and didn't want anything to do with it. Is this...

    Ventilation

    Thanks for the link. My nesting boxes are attached to the coop, just not inside the 4x8 space. The chickens will not be albe to get on top of them. They are at floor level and the roosts will be 18" tall. The hoop houses work really well in GA, they just don't look that great. Wish I...

    Ventilation

    Should be ok, the 52" is coop height, that does not include the 30" raise. They have a 40 x 35 run. The nesting boxes are not included in the 4 x 8. There will be 7 chickens in it, but only at night. I have never had to lock my chickens in during the day. If I leave one door (the door...

    Ventilation

    I am in south GA. I have two hoop coops. I am building my first coop that is not a hoop coop. My skills are limited. If I have two doors and one large window covered with hardware cloth, will that be enough ventilation? The coop is 4 x8 raised 30 inches. It is 52" high. The doors with be...

    Large Metal 20x10 ft Chicken Coop Backyard Hen House Cage Run Outdoor Cage

    The coop/run is covered by 19 gauge wire 1" x 1", which is probably chicken wire, but hard to tell. Chickens would only be in it during the day.

    Bumblefoot or not?

    His spurs are really long. Would that make him limp?

    Bumblefoot or not?

    I have had chickens for 12 years and never had one get bumblefoot so I have zero experience with it. I had a rooster that was limping and sitting alot. I thought it was bumblefoot so I purchased what I needed to treat it. I didn't actually look at the bottom his foot until I went to treat it...

    Coop plans

    Thanks for the reply. I will look at the website. The store does not charge me for the cuts. I have zero experience with an electric saw and would probably cut my leg off.

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    Ya, I am beginning to think "friendly rooster" is an urban legend. I have roosters that I can live with, but none that I would call friendly. Even my bantam cochin rooster, who is the best of bunch, would jump on me if I gave him the opportunity and he is a very good rooster with the hens and...
