    I've been researching scaly leg mites and that could be a possibility. If so, it's an early as I'm only seeing a few small areas that might be raised or irritated scales. I wouldn't think a small infestation would cause lameness, but I really have no idea. She is standing on that leg more and...

    Chicks with runny poop

    Hi Kathy, Good to know! Thanks for the additional info about the poop chart. Of course, I didn't find any of the watery dark stool today, which I guess is a good thing. If it happens again i'll post it . It didn't look anything like the one you posted. Thanks again, Jennifer

    I am new to chickens and need your help.. I have 5 five month old pullets. Last Sunday I noticed one of my barred rocks was limping. I didn't see any scratches, lesions, redness, swelling etc on either leg or foot. She is still not wanting to put pressure on her left leg. She is eating and...
