Well.... no happy ending here ...... I was able to contact a vet that my cooperative extension referred me to. She said it sounded like an infection and suggested duramycin. I went right out and bought that and put it in her water. She didn't seem to be drinking the water so we started giving...

I'm reading up on gout... so I separated her, and am giving her fresh fruits and veggies and oatmeal (whole grain? -- should I cook it?) and ACV in her water..... anything else I should be doing? Thank you so much for your input. I was at such a loss, feeling helpless about losing this sweet...

Yes, the pic in that thread is exactly what they look like. I'll have to read up after dinner. THanks. (I did read to give them cherries and she ate them up!)

The pics aren't very good, my 9 year old took them. I hate to disturb her. The foot has been hot but is now cool to the touch. There are no sores on her foot. I separated her because the others are starting to pick on her.

Our kids favorite chicken has had swollen feet for a couple weeks -- no sores,so not bumblefoot. Both legs/feet affected. We thought maybe mites so we treated for that -- poultry dust, dipped feet in mineral oil. We treat her with vaseline every couple of days. She has been putting herself...

Yes, GingerJane, some did. But now more have the same problem long after Roo is gone. It was logical when we had a rooster but now with new ones developing the same baldness pattern, not so much!

Got rid of the rooster 6-7 weeks ago. Would you put the sand or ashes in some type of container of just on the floor of the coop? I did powder them with a poultry powder for mites.

Hi, my chickens are just over a year. In the spring I noticed that some of them were losing feathers on their heads. Then a couple had missing feathers on their backs. I just figured it was a molt. But now it is August and the feathers are just not growing back. It appears the ones around...
