    Thinking this is bumblefoot? Pics

    I think my roo has a case of bumblefoot on both feet. I noticed he's been tender footed. We live in SW Florida and have been getting a ton of rain so I'm sure that isn't helping things.. I have done some looking around and believe it is bumblefoot but wanted to get some other, more experienced...

    Preening gland that I thought was an impacted feather... I'm such an idiot

    Ok, I had a hen a month or so ago with an ingrown feather. I lanced it and pulled out the bad feather. Today, I saw a similar lump on another hen who has had a feather loss around her tail for awhile. I noticed the lump and thought she may have been not regrowing her feathers from constantly...

    First time Silver pheasant breeding questions

    I have a couple of hens that just started laying. I have read here they most likely will not set on their own eggs. I see many folks say they lay all over the pen and the only way is to collect them and incubate. I am curious - they are laying all their eggs (except one) in a 'nest' they have...

    Sick hen, poopy/dirty backside

    Hi, I have a 5 month old hen, I believe she is a blue laced red wynodotte (sp?). Went to feed the flock today and noticed she was not looking too well. It rained hard yesterday and I thought her dirty looking appearance was just from the weather. I removed her from the rest and noticed shes...
