    Growth on toe.

    My friends chicken has a growth on her toe. We originally thought it was bumblefoot but when we cut it open we couldn’t find the infection. I have done bumblefoot before and know what it should look like but this seems different. Any suggestions would help. She is about two years old.

    Chicken behavior

    I have a mixed group of hens that I have had for a year now that have been together since day 1. They all have seemed to get a long just fine with no problems. I have a jersey black giant rooster who like any other rooster loves to mate. I think he has been getting pretty aggressive with his...

    I have a buff who has been in the nest box pretty much all day. I just went out and checked on her and all the other hens are roosting and asleep. She is just sitting there. Usually when I mess with any of my hens in the nesting box they get mad and leave but she won’t. An she isn’t getting...

    Sour crop

    This hen has had a buldging crop looks like for the past few days. I’m guessing it’s sour crop and I have tried doing the burping, apple cider vinegar water and probiotic yogurt (which is what’s all over her face). But still seems huge. She seems to be eating and drinking just fine and runs...

    blue andalusian rooster vs hen

    This blue andalusian Chicken was our free exotic mystery bird from the hatchery. We identified the breed but are confused on gender. I say pullet but others say cockerel when they see her/him. Chevy (his/her name) is 12 weeks old. I saw that this is a common thread of people wanting to know...
