Hello everyone! Today I was trying to befriend my older hen Noodle with my two newer pullets, and while watching them I noticed that Noodles legs didn't look quite right. It seems like on her right leg the scales in front are a bit more raised, and one of the toes has become yellow? Could...
Hello everyone, recently I hatched out four baby silkies/sizzles. One of them needed assistance during hatching, and the chick hatched out very late, more than 24 hours after making a pip. When it first hatched out it could only lie in its back, writhing, because its neck was bent and toes were...

Hello! I hatched out a couple coturnix quail chicks about a week ago, and one of them hatched with curled toes and splayed feet. I started working on those two problems, and one of her feet now has "normal" toes. The splayed leg problem isn't completely fixed, but now the right leg with the...
