    Feet problems- don't think it is Bumblefoot... Pics enclosed!

    hi All-- one of our roos "Big Chuck" has had swollen & red spots on his feet for the past few days. His toes are swollen too. I took some pictures after soaking them for about 10 mins or so in a hot water solution with salt. I have read all about bumblefoot- but I can not find any black or...

    Hey, Anyone from North Dakota? Even though I doubt it.

    wow! so nice to see some ND action on the board I am up near Mayville (between Fargo and Grand Forks) and I sell eggs- in fact right now I am OVERRUN! All of our spring chicks from last year are finally laying regularly so we are getting between 6-12 eggs a day. Lots of fun, but we can't keep...

    Beak Trimming?

    wow- that is quite a difference in size! I haven't seen a chick like that. It she were mine, I would probably hang onto her as long as she seems fine and is eating and drinking ok. I tend to be hopeful and optimistic when it comes to problems though, so my advice might not be the best. So sorry...

    Dog got 2 of my chicks- questions?!

One of the 2 (EE) seems ok, was drenched and had a little blood on it's face and feathers, but otherwise alert...

    When will my chicks warm up to me?

    Quote: I have 33 chicks and only a few of them are "friendly", and that has come after weeks and many, many hours of food bribery!!!! I think patience and persistence are the keys here, and hopefully after time they will be the cuddly chickens we all desire! (I keep telling myself that...

    Adding 3 large breed chicks in with my Silkie chicks... tips?

    I have had my silkies together with my EE's since they were both a couple days old and I haven't had any problems... I think it is funny that the silkies are 2 to 3 times smaller than the EE's, but they don't seem to realize it
