    Hopefully a simple check. Does this look like large roundworm to you?

    Hi BYC, Hopefully a simple post. Do these pictures look like they have a large roundworm (ascaridia galli) in them to you? (final image above from Damerow) Thanks

    Strange poop. Quite solid poop, plus additional water.

    Hi BYC, I'd really value your thoughts. In our small flock, we have a black rock chicken. She is about 18 months old. She seems healthy and active. She enjoys her food. She is laying. Healthwise many things are good. But during the night, she sometimes does some crazy poop. She will produce...

    Could this be anything but bumblefoot?

    Hi BYC community, Normal forum info provided below the photos, but in summary our guess is that this is bumblefoot - but we just wanted to check. It seems to be on both feet and also in multiple places... and partly because of this it doesn't seem like all the other bumblefoot pictures we've...

    Swelling under eye

    Is this mould? Is this a ventilation issue?

    Hi BYC-ers. I wonder if you could give me some Coop advice please? We're based in the SW of the UK. We have 3 Wyandotte chickens in our coop (pics attached). We picked up the coop second hand, and before our chickens arrived (back in August), we thoroughly washed it, applied wood preserver...
