Hi When examining him today I noticed a large black scab on the pad of his foot. Not sure how I missed it before. Anyway we're off to the vets tomorrow as I think it's bumblefoot and far too severe for me to treat alone. Thanks for all of your advice

Thankyou I think that's clearer. I'll let them know.

My parents live in Spain and have just bought 4 hens at POL. Unfortunately their spanish and knowledge of chickens is poor and are know unsure what they have got. Mum thinks they are RIRs. However, from the photos I sure you can see that they aren't. Does anyone have any ideas what they are...

Thankyou for all of your replies. I'm still non the wiser but have my fingers crossed for 2 pretty hens.

I noticed this morning that my rooster tried to mate with the maran but behaved differently around the...
