Unfortunately, I found her dead this afternoon. I live on an island and had to take the ferry this morning -- before I left, I noticed that the waterer might be out of her reach, but got distracted and didn't get to lowering it. It's been a hot day and now that I think about it, although she had...

Thanks. I've already separated her into an enclosure inside the run. I recently had another Easter Egger that was lame and she just rejoined the others after about 3 weeks. She is doing much better and will not need to be culled. The first one I would go get and place into the hen house before...

I need your expertise again.... I have an Easter Egger chicken who can walk properly, but today is preferring to walk in a squatting or just wit. She does not have bumblefoot. No noticeable tenderness or swelling. Also, I didn't notice any unusual warmth in any part of her legs. I;be posted a...

This video was taken yesterday day morning: She is no longer walking on her elbow -- so is doing noticeably better! I'm thinking that I should keep her in the enclosure for at least a week after she shows no signs of limping to solidify her healing -- any thoughts on the length of time?

Thanks, all, for your help. She's been inside the new enclosure inside the run for several days now. She's still limping -- baring weight apparently still hurts -- but I think there's a little improvement. I take her out at night and put her in the hen house at night and then in the morning, I...

Thanks. Other posts that I read said 3 days and I'd already figured out that she was probably going to need more time, so your comments about how long it takes are re-assuring. The nesting boxes on the side where all of them like to roost are blocked off, but if I open them I can probably reach...

One of my layers has been limping. She does not have bumblefoot, no noticeable swelling or tenderness, no temperature difference. I've been giving her aspirin for the past few days (81 mg) and building an inclosure for her inside my layer's 10x10 run. I live on an island with limited ferry...

Thanks, I will.

No, she doens't have bumblefoot. I've palpated her legs a few times. No noticeable swelling, not sores, not difference in temperature. I've had one hen sleeping at night between the roust and the wall of the hen house on the drip tray -- last night I was able to see that it may be her. She could...

Hi, I'm new to this group, but not completely new to raising chickens (although I'd still consider myself a newbie in that). This is my second year raising both meat birds and layers. For a variety of reasons, I had to cull my layers from last season. So this year I have 4 Easter Eggers and 3...
