    How contagious is fowlpox?

    I have a hen who was staying indoors in a dog crate to recover from a predator attack. She’s just about ready to go back outside, except a couple days ago she started showing signs of fowlpox. The thing is, I also have a pet lovebird. She’s down the hall and I’m keeping the door to her room...

    Very young baby with badly infected foot! Help!

    Brought home from the feed store today. The entire foot is swollen and purplish. Skin is split between toes, I think from being stretched so tight.

    Is this a pullet? Opinions?

    “Her” name is Jelly Bean and she’s five months old. One-quarter Silver Phoenix, otherwise a mutt for generations back (bantam/barnyard). “She” had two siblings that were obviously male, whom we’ve already rehomed. We don’t have room for another rooster. She looks like a girl to me, but her...

    Hi there from Arizona!

    I’ve had chooks for over a decade now and really love having them. Looking forward to trading stories and information with like-minded people! Right now my flock of around 20-25 includes Buff Orpingtons, Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Black Australorps, Silkies, and of course, all my silly...
