    Bumble foot question

    It's my first time dealing with bumble foot so any help/advice is appreciated. I did epsom soaks, applied veteracin plus, prid and antibiotic ointment for almost two weeks. The scab loosened up and I got the kernel out almost a week ago. I've been cleaning her wound and applying antibiotic...

    Water belly

    My GLW has a large squishy bump below her vent. Pics are attached. She's eating, laying and acting completely normal otherwise. I noticed it when I gave her a bath yesterday to wash off a lot of poop that was stuck in her feathers. Could it be water belly?

    Broody mama raising adopted chicks

    I have a buff who's been broody three times since late fall, so I gave in and got her some babies yesterday. She took them almost immediately and seems to be doing a great job so far! I've sectioned off a part of their coop for her and the chicks. Pic of mom and my set up attached. How long do I...

    Infected injury?

    Hi All! My light Brahma was attacked by a hawk last week. I was right there and chased it off. I checked her over and didn't see any injuries or blood but yesterday noticed her feathers sticking out on the side of her head. It looks like she must have gotten hurt after all and it might be...

I gave her some honey and acv water and she regurgitated some brownish stuff. It's seems like she's trying to get out more. Her crop isn'tt full but I think there's a lump in...

    Feeding multiple age flocks

    Hello all! I have three 18 week olds and six 7 week olds. I'm in the process of integrating them (pic of them getting some free range time together) but wonder how to manage the food when they are all together. I know I need to switch the older ones to layer feed. Right now they are all eating...

    New digs for the chicks

    Hi All! It's the nervous new chicken mom again...lol. My chicks are about two weeks old now and are so awesome, active and curious. Everytime we reach into the brooder they are jumping on our arms and running up to our shoulders (which makes me worry they'll try to jump off from too high!). They...

    Chick grit and treats

    Hello! I have chicks who are about a week old (I'm pretty sure...bought them at a feed store on Friday). I've read a lot of different opinions about giving them egg at this point and many saying it's ok. I have one who's a little smaller than the rest so though it wouldn't hurt to give her a...

    Hello!

    Hello! My name is JJ and I have been thinking about raising chickens for a long time. I was so excited when my husband decided to get me baby chicks last week for my birthday. I'm so in love with them and am obsessed with giving them the best care which is why I love this site! I have 2...
