Ok, I have read a few threads here on bumblefoot removal and have seen a few youtube videos. My question, before I cut into the bird's foot, can I deaden the nerves a little? Ice it? But that would make the plug hard. Ambesol (the tooth pain reliever)? Any ideas? Thanks

Just did. If you guys/gals could have seen the odd place she was nesting and how I had to get on a ladder to get them you would have laughed. Mom hen has always been a sweet bird and as I dug under her to get the 9 chicks and a tenth that was just born, she was amazingly tolerant. After...

Our hen had her 8 chicks hatch last night. All of our farm/feed stores are closed on Sundays. What can I give the chicks today until I can get them chick starter tomorrow? Thanks.

jammy, have you brought a Mother Hen and Chicks inside before? Was Mother Hen OK being confined as long as they are watered and fed?

ok, thank you and flockman for the info.

Good Morning. I have a female Pekin that is now alone. The male died last week. My neighbor has a few male malards and she would give me one. Would the two get along or do I have to get a Pekin for them to I guess become "mates" or at least friends? Thanks

Thanks Brunty Farms - how about the overnight cold water deal, good idea?

Good morning. Have read this forum on an off for awhile and decided to join today. My buddy has too many roosters so I kept telling him we should butcher a few. We both have chickens for the eggs and we didn't know how to butcher a chicken. His neighbor does and so my question. All three of...
