    bumblefoot and scaly leg mites!!!

    After some quick research I'm quite sure that one of my chickens has both bumblefoot and scaly leg mites. I've learned of treatment options, but I'm unsure of what order to treat the issues in. Her bumblefoot abscesses will likely need home surgery, so should I wait to start any oil soaking for...

    watery bubbles in eyes, possible MG?

    Today I noticed my light brahma (in a flock of 6) has watery eyes with small bubbles at the corners of both eyes. She hasn't laid in the last few weeks (though it's also winter in upstate New York), and is otherwise completely herself. She happily goes for treats, eats, drink, has no issues...

    Sick AND Broody Hen???

    I have a 17-month-old light Brahma who I think has been broody for about ten days. She has been in an elevated wire cage for all of them, occasionally being let out to see what she would do. When I let her out she will either run out and start dust bathing, then go back to a nesting box or she...

    White Spots on Comb... Not Just Broody?

    NOTE: My timeline might be a bit off. I have a 17-month-old light brahma (Esther) who started showing signs of broodiness about three days ago. I have dealt with broody chickens before, so I have an elevated wire cage for them to be in for 2-3 days to help break them out of their broodiness...

    Chicken Bullying... Again!(?)

    Hi! I have a flock of seven that I believe generally gets along. Except, recently, a few of the younger ones have been picking on one of the older ones. She has a few odd bald-ish spots on her head, but she has also been molting. I'm not sure if this is molting or bullying. She is very skiddish...

    Help! Is My Chicken In Pain?

    I have a 7 month old Light Brahma who has been laying regularly and well. However, I have noticed that when she lays she screeches. She seems to only do this when I or another chicken has just come in. She also blinks a lot and seems to be teary. Is she in pain laying her eggs? Does she just...

    Is My Chicken Broody and What Can I Do?

    I have a one and a half year-old black Australorp who has been in a nesting box for two days now. She has two eggs under her, and her neck is slinked back into her body. Her eyes are wide and she mostly stays still. From what I have read, I am pretty sure that she is broody, but I'm not positive...

    How Do I Sustain A Happy Flock?

    My flock of seven mostly gets along, but there is a past bully among them. Sometimes she goes to peck someone for no apparent reason, but no real "bullying," especially when I'm around. What can I do to discourage bullying when I'm not there to intervene?

The first chicken I...
