Moved my newest flock members to their larger temporary enclosure. They are about 6 weeks old. Still having pretty cold nights in NY and we have some snow coming soon so they need their heat lamps (secured well and have hardware cloth covering them). Will add some more toys soon, swing etc. I...
My 8 year old EE hen, Tilly Ann- my favorite hen that jumps in my lap to cuddle, started sneezing/ coughing once in a while a couple of weeks ago. This past Thursday she started wheezing and gasping for air, along with sneezing/ coughing. No other birds have any symptoms. Checked her for gape...
My rooster is wheezing and then almost kind of sneezing every 15-30 seconds. This just started tonight or at least some time today. I want to post a video but not sure how. The attach file option only lets me attach pics. Can someone please tell me how to post a video? I’m usually pretty good...
My Buff Orp, Betty, has a mass on the side of her beak. The pic of her straight on and the lightest one from the side (although in that pic it looks smaller than it really was) is about 5 weeks ago. The one that is the closest was in the last few days on the roost. It has definitely got larger...
Hello,

I noticed a couple weeks ago this hens feet were swollen. I thought maybe bumblefoot but no scab. I tried the bumblefoot surgery on the foot she was holding up a lot anyway to see if I could still find a kernel but didn’t. Only thing that I found was some white puss. Cleaned the foot good and...
My girls are enjoying some spa time on this rainy day. Funny thing is there is a second dust bath the same size and there is only 1 bird in that one. Must be some flock politics involved
I noticed a couple of days ago that my roosters foot has a big bump on it. It's definitely swelling and getting worse. I see him limping a bit and standing more on his good foot.
I thought maybe bumblefoot but can't find any scabs. A friend suggested an abscess. Either way I have no idea what...
Sorry if this is a duplicate. I posted it this morning and can't find it and no emails saying there have been responses.
I clean my coop every day. Yesterday there was nothing and today there were 4 to 5 areas under the roost where the poop was mostly blood. This picture is on the roost.
I...
