    Is this a bumble?/hard to remove bumble

    Hello, We noticed one of our hens limping a few days ago and when we picked her up, it was bumblefoot. We had dealt with bumblefoot a few days earlier with another hen so we knew what to do and brought her inside. After a 20 minute epsom salt soak, we got her into 'bumble removal position' and...

    Bumblefoot issues

    Hello, I noticed some swelling in the right foot of one of our hens and quickly identified it as bumble foot (we have had a lot of rain recently and its pretty muddy).

    Chicken hiding under sister?

    Hi, 2 of our hens (H and F, opposite ends of pecking order) are really close, and at night they always roost together. for a while I have noticed H putting her head under F's breast/stomach and wriggling around. It's pretty cute, but I was wondering if this is normal? Thanks!

It's getting warmer here (50-60˚F...

    Bruise on beak?

    One of our chickens has something on her beak that looks like it could be a bruise. It's been there for a few days, but she has been pecking around just as enthusiastically as she was before it appeared. I'm writing about the pink thing higher on her beak, pretty sure the brown thing is just...

    Very loud chickens

    One of my chickens has been very loud lately. We think that she is a snowy easter egger (we were told she was a white rock, but she has green feet and lays green eggs!), if that has to do with anything. She started laying a few weeks ago, and sang every time she laid. It would start with...

    No shell...?

    Hello! We have a hen who just started laying 4 days ago. So far, she has laid 2 eggs. Today I noticed her in the nesting boxes and knew she was laying. I came back outside half an hour later and checked the nesting box. There was no egg, but the floor was wet. It looked like gooey fluid. Like an...
