    So I discovered my eldest hen has black scabs on the bottom of both her feet, I soaked them in epsom salts for a few nights and today I used tweezers and small surgical scissors to get off the deeper of the two and cleaned, soaked, squeezed and repeated on that side but no plug or pus was...

    Sigyn the Conquerer

    This is Sigyn,and she has conquered many a trials in her short 12 (14? I don't know) weeks. It starts with my favorite hen dying, and the quick scramble after to find a replacement in my small flock.

    New 7 week chicks and Hurt Sigyn

    Today i got two 7 or so week chicks from a local private owner and one seems to be having problems. One chick is fine and moving around but the other has something wrong with her foot. I am assuming it is because the small chicks were in a run with several adult hens and a couple Roosters. Her...

    Poor Popcorn

    Today my favorite laying hen passed on, and I was wondering if we could brainstorm on reasons why. For the past few weeks she hasn't been laying right if at all, and the eggs she did lay were small, whites only. I just thought it was because she was getting older, 3-4 years old. Then yesterday...
