    Prolapse with crusted poop

I can never get any of the hard scab off and if I touch it, she freaks out. I am not sure what I can do to help...

    Bump on foot

    Hey all! When I was out given my chickens some watermelon treat I noticed one of my chickens had a bump on the top of her foot in-between her two toes.
