    Bumblefoot with no visible wound?

    Is this bumble or something else? There's no scab and I'm leery of cutting it open and exposing her to the "elements." We've been watching this for a couple of weeks and it's not getting significantly better or worse. She walks, runs and bears weight on the affected foot but will sometimes hold...

    Ruptured/malformed egg

    This hen was pretty lethargic the other day. We assumed it was the heat and she was a little better yesterday. Today she was worse and her comb was pale. I noticed she had some loose stool down her backside. I brought her home and soaked her in some warm water. She let me flip her on her side...

    Puffy eye

    Back in August we had a bout of respiratory issues due to me being a new chicken tender and practicing poor biosecurity. We treated the flock (20 hens) with Tylan powder at 2000mg/gal sole drinking supply for 5 days and everything cleared up. About a week ago we had one hen start getting a...

    Hen making a raspy noise

    We let all the girls out this morning and as they were running across the yard I heard her sounding a little different. She was still drinking ok. Doesn’t seem to be lethargic at all, maybe she was slightly easier to catch but not much. Hopefully the video will explain better than I ever...

    Older cockerels with younger pullets question

    Back info. I hatched 19 eggs the first of February. We will call them 17 weeks old. Then we rescued 2 injured chicks and they are 6 weeks old. This weekend my wife came home with 6 more from TSC. So, the 17 week old chickens are out in the coop and the cockerels have started mating the girls...

    Looking for help with gender

    We hatched 19 chicks from various Production Reds with a single Barred Rock rooster and I've been amazed at the variety of offspring. There's a couple that I'm having difficulty deciding their sex. They are about 16 weeks old today. Most of the roosters have started crowing, these 2 have not...

    Rescued chick with eye injury

    This baby arrived at TSC and the others in the crate had attacked it so we rescued it. She’s eating and drinking and getting along ok with the extra chick we got (can’t raise just one right?). Is there anything I should do to ward off an infection?

    Roosting bar design questions

    2 questions. 1. Does there need to be multiple heights of bars in order for the dominant ones to feel superior? The way my tractor is laid out it will be much easier to have bars spread out but at the same height. 2. Each roosting bar will be an 8' 2X4 (laid flat) about four feet off the...

    Chick will not stand/walk

    This chicklet was one of the last few born (almost 23 days from start of incubation). Hatched last Thursday, Feb 3rd. It has never been able to stand. Looked like splayed leg and curled toe. Taped its feet to cardboard for a day and the curl got a lot better. Hobbled it and tried helping it...

    Help requested - Splayed leg and pasty butt

    I've got one little chick out of 20 that hatched who is having a rough go of it. I've cleaned up the vent and will keep an eye on it but was hoping someone could take a look at my hobble. I just want to make sure I'm not too wide. I've got him separated in a shoebox in the big brooder with his...
