    Could this be anything other than Bumblefoot?

    So, I have 7 chickens. None of them are limping. I just happen to to foot checks regularly, and came across the dreaded black scab. 2 out of 7. One Goldie, had it on one foot and GI Jane has it on both. So (after reading everything I could online) I soaked in the feet in epsom salt, and started...

    Is this a Blue Splash Maran?

    Hello all. Long time no see. I’ll keep this short, even though I could say so much, but I recently picked up a chick that was labeled as a Blue Splash Maran. But she doesn’t have feathers on her feet. Now I know all of them don’t, but she also doesn’t look (in color) like the ones I’ve seen...

    Louisville KY- Light Brahma Rooster

    Jeeves is a light Brahma Rooster. I didn't want a rooster! Does any one want him? He's really pretty! Used to a flock with 5 hens.

    Light Brahma Hen or Roo?

    So I was on the fence but was told she was female. But now her tail feathers are coming in high and curvy, and it's reminding me of a roo! She's my only chick of this breed so I can't compare her to anything...except for online pics and I'm worried! Can some brahma pros help me out here? She is...

    Got a visit from the city today!

    So someone knocks at the door at 10:00am and turns out it's the city wanting to come inspect my coop! One of my neighbors must have said something obviously, because I didn't lol. They only looked for a brief moment, but it seemed to pass their "inspection". They said it looked good and that I...

    Any tips on keeping the run clean?

    I finished my coop and put the chickies in there. They are almost 6 weeks old. When I'm off I let them free range the whole yard but I like to keep them in the run when I'm working. (At least until they are big enough to not escape the yard) With that said, they poop a lot. In the run. It's...

    Please tell me she's a pullet!

    She was supposed to be female. She's a barred Plymouth Rock. She's my favorite! Always first to come say hi. Loves to ride around and perch on our arms. She's four weeks and four days old now and I noticed some red on her comb. Does that mean rooster?! I'm hoping not. :(

    1 month old pullet?

    I supposedly got 6 pullets. But after reading many many threads on this forum I'm a little worried about one chick. She was sold as an ameraucana but I'm sure she's just an Easter Egger. She's bigger than the rest (could be a day or two older - I did get them two different ways) she always...

    Do I need to cover my coop window?

    Hello First time Chicken owner here. I did draw a design for a coop but was a little overwhelmed with the thought of building it so I bought one. I built it today and I think it's super cute :) My question is- it has a premade window, covered in the chicken wire stuff. But what about in the...

    Chicken Nail Maintenance

    Hello. I've tried to find the answer in here and wasn't successful so I'll just ask it. I read that you don't have to trim your chicken's nails if they free range and get to scratch at stuff and wear them down. But is there anything else you can do to help it along ? Like put a brick or two in...

    A little bit of love?

    Hello. This site has been so helpful and every one has been so friendly! I created a page on Facebook about gardening, animals, and nature in general (as to not bombard my friends with these posts and to reach out to fellow garden lovers!) Facebook is a pay-to-play kind of site sadly and I'm...
