    Not an emergency but ALL 4 of my hens have Bumblefoot.

    thanks free range, that was very informative. I certainly would not have the stomach to do that surgery. I'm glad I have an avian vet, I don't mind driving 30 minutes to see him at all. ;). My big concern is what caused it in all of them at once. I would like to avoid this if I can. I've...

    bald spots on chickens

    They could be pecking each other, I'd check for mites for sure. One of our more experienced chicken owners will certainly have a better idea. Good luck, so sorry for the one you lost.

    Whats the weirdest thing your chickens have eaten or tried to eat??

    I had a hen that loved cigarettes, she would fly up on the deck and eat them out of the ashtray. She will walk next to me and jump up and snatch one, lit right out of my hand. :/

    Not an emergency but ALL 4 of my hens have Bumblefoot.

    I noticed one had a swollen foot, I had a feeling when I saw it what it was but I've never dealt with or seen it before. I took her to my chicken vet when I looked at it and noticed it was also on the other foot and dripping pus. Since she is the one who is always picked on already he was...

    The heat is one thing, Washington DC area humidity is another

    It is hotter than the hinges of hell here and the humidity just makes it so much worse. My poor girls are just panting. I have fans blowing, ice in the water periodically thru the day, plenty of shade. I'm not sure what else I can do to make them more comfortable. I have these big sheds they...

    feed sources near Baltimore, MD

    I'm in Rockville and I just order the 50lb bag from Countryside. I also get the same size bag of DE from them. They just mail it to me. I keep the feed in a metal trash can, it already has DE in it and that keeps the bugs out. That is the BEST feed/scratch I've ever seen. They love it and...

    Laying Eggs=Poopy Butts?!?

    My SS Rose always has a nasty behind and my others do not at all. She has always laid weird eggs. When it has a shell it is bumpy like sand paper, otherwise they just have a membrane and they seem to fall out of her at night. Some are teenie tiny. They all have constant acess to soluable...

    One of my hens is picking on my dog.

    Two of my pullets stalk my schnauzer, they rarely peck though. I think it's kind of funny!

    Just diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

    I haven't been on one of my favorite boards lately, been a bit preoccupied. I had two surgeries last month and luckily only had to do a lumpectomy. It was small, grade 1 and didn't spread to my lymph nodes. God is so good. I just knew from git go that this was going to be ok, that God was in...

    Lola finally laid her first egg since her bad molt, despite the Bactrim!

    Lola laid her first egg yesterday since she was sooooo sick for a couple weeks there in January. Someone had said that once you give your chicken the antibiotic Bactrim that she will never lay again. I just want everyone to know, this is NOT true! She laid a beautiful egg! Yay Lola you rock...

    Feeding fresh eggs to cancer patients

    I have a friend who is battling AIDS, her immune system isn't zero yet but it's obviously not great. She's had no problems with backyard eggs.

    Finished my first attempt at wool rug hooking! Pics of course...

    Yes they even came with the tool and all the strips you need. All I needed to buy was a needle point circle thingy. These are only like 6x6 and 6x8 so I'm not sure what to do with them. I am waiting for the new full pillow kit to come in the mail with the frame to hold it while I work. So...

    How do u get those bright red combs/wattles?

    My girls are healthy and fed a good variety of fruits/veggies, feed, mealworms and whatever they find around the yard during the day. They also get a scoop of wild bird seed since they dont like scratch. They eat everything BUT the corn. Snobs. Anyway, any advice? 5 hens, suburban...

    Finished my first attempt at wool rug hooking! Pics of course...

    They look funny around the edges because I folded the fabric under for the pic. Now they look silly...oh well you get the idea anyway. It was very easy and fun to do. I have a pillow kit on the way and expect it any day now. It's addicting...every day I look on my porch for that brown box of...
