    Foot Trouble

    Thank you SO much! That link helped me a LOT! I did not pop the blister, but it looked like it had already burst on its own. I will continue with soaking and applying neosporin. Hopefully she won't lose part of her foot. I'll be watching her closely! Thanks again!

    Foot Trouble

    We had un-normal temperatures here on Tuesday. In the very low single digits, while in the negative teens including wind chill. I thought about the frostbite, but I don't see any blackened skin on her feet at this point. I am going to go ahead and do a soak in an epsom salt solution today. Any...

    Foot Trouble

    Hi there! I need some help with one of my Buff Orpington girls. Noticed today that her feet are swollen, one worse than the other. One of them has a blister-like thing on the bottom and is more swollen than the other. It doesn't look like bumblefoot to me, but we are still newbies to some of...

    Are either of these a roo??

    These chicks are 8weeks old. I'm pretty sure that one of them is definitely a hen, she got tail & wing feathers quickly. The other I thought was going to turn out to be a roo, but I haven't see a comb yet. Do you think they are both hens? I'd love it if they were. I have 2 other roos that...

    Newbie with question on hatching chicks with a broody hen.

    Thanks again! I prefer this 'natural' method. The eggs she's sitting on aren't anything but my flocks 'everyday' eggs. I really wasn't in the market for more chickens, but she was very insistent on sitting. So we thought why not let her this time and I thought it would be fun for my daughter...

    Newbie with question on hatching chicks with a broody hen.

    Thank you!! That is exactly what I was wanting to know! I will check her out today and look at the nest and move the food back some too. Our coop is raised up off the ground and there is a ramp for the chickens, will the chicks be ok to get back into the coop if they get out? I greatly...

    Newbie with question on hatching chicks with a broody hen.

    Hi there, I've been reading lots of posts about hatching eggs with a broody hen. My broody is on day #14 of sitting on 7 eggs. She hasn't moved much at all and I've recently placed the water and food much closer to her. She doesn't get off the nest hardly at all from what I've seen and I...

    Rooster Chick Feather Problems.....New at this, need help!

    We got our new little 'flock' last Tuesday, 12 hens and 1 Faverolles rooster. Everyone seemed fine, they seem to be doing well in their brooder. Most of the ladies are getting new feathers every day and the rooster is too. Although, he has a spot on the back part of his wing that looks 'bare'. I...
