    Foot injury?

    I don't think there's a way to post videos, but I'll see if I can link one later. I have a hen who's started limping, doesn't want to put much weight on one leg. It just started today while I was at work, so I'm not sure when or what happened. There's no obvious wounds on her foot or leg...

    Reinforcement ideas

    Hello all, I'm in need of some advice. 2 days ago, some neighborhood dogs ripped a hole through our hardwire cloth and killed half our flock. It's been devastating, we have 4 younger hens we were just about to integrate. We obviously need to patch the hole, but now we don't feel secure with just...

    Cocci?

    We have some 2.5 mo pullets, and I've noticed some poop has some sticky red texture to it, and I'm wondering if it's coccidiosis. I've not seen any other symptoms, and they're all vaccinated against cocci/on unmedicated feed, but I know vaccines aren't fullproof. We have corrid that I am adding...

We've recently, over the course of 4 months, had a string of back luck with loosing birds to illness that I think I now finally understand. I just got a call from my vet. Mongoose, one of my legbar girls who...

    How to help

    A few weeks ago I posted about my legbar Mongoose, she'd gotten poked in the eye and was having issues, so we separated her and started treating her eye. Unfortunately one of our other girls developed fowl pox last week, so we had to move Mongoose from quarantine sooner than I would have liked...

    Bump on beak

    I think the big bump on her beak is an abscess, it pliable when light pressure is applied but she doesn't seem to be in pain. If it's an abscess, what would be the best way to treat it?

    Miss Americana the Amerucauna

    She's the most scatterbrained and neurotic of the flock, but she's still a sweetie. She belongs to the friend I raise my chickens with, but I love her just as much as my gals!

I was hopeful we'd be able to inergrate her back in the flock today or tomorrow, but this morning she was dead, feathers everywhere...

    Kidney issues/gout treatments

    We had a chicken die last week. Necropsy said it was kidney disease, cause of death being being gout. This chicken had not been showing any signs prior to my finding her barely responsive. Another test is being done to show what caused the kidney disease because at this point I have no clue. We...
