    Help, Underweight, weak Chicken

    I'm being super patient and observing them. I guess that's the best I can do right now. It's just so extremely concerning to see a chicken this weak.

    Help, Pus filled swollen toe! Looks infected

    It's been awhile but he's doing better. The toe was most likely broken but it's fine now, however, he has a giant scab on that foot now that I just noticed... I've gotten my guts up with treating bumblefoot and have been doing it so I'm sure I'll be able to fix whatever he's got going on. I gave...

    Help, Underweight, weak Chicken

    Hello, I just got twelve new hens that I rescued from a difficult situation. One had a severe case of bumblefoot which I had to surgically repair and some have mites, which are being treated. HOWEVER, there is one hen I am extremely concerned about, who we've named Hazel. When we were bringing...

    Help, Pus filled swollen toe! Looks infected

    Thanks for the tip. We were able to find penicillin g at a feed store. We injected him today after we soaked and redressed his foot. We will see if it works!

    Help, Pus filled swollen toe! Looks infected

    Hi everyone, my rooster has a very badly swollen toe and we're not sure if it's bumblefoot or if it's broken. Here are some pictures (we soaked his foot in epsom salt and water with a little tea tree oil, we did pull off a scab on his other toe and have put ointments and have wrapped it but we...

    Rooster has a very pale face and "dried" out waddles

    One of my roosters has a bit of a sneeze and has been having some breathing issues. His raspiness has gone away and his sneeze isn't as bad now but today his face is very pale white and his waddles, which are usually thick and red, are "shriveled" or "dried" up in appearance. They are definitely...

    Sneezing Chickens

    I have 9 young chickens and since winter is here, they've been confined in their coop for about two weeks until this week when the snow melted and temperatures rose. However, during the confinement (we tried to get them to walk around in the snow and get out once and while but they were having...

    Hen suddenly died- Could someone help me figure out what it possibly could have been from?

    I had this hen for 4 weeks. She was 3-4 years old when I got her. She had had some poop sticking to her butt and feathers here and there that I picked off from time to time but it looked like it cleared up about a week ago. She was nice and fluffy and walking around and enjoying the yard. Then...

    Rooster is keeping my other rooster from mounting hens

    Thanks for your answer. I had no idea that's how long fertility lasted from only one mating. That is a relief! So I'm sure we will live with it if it keeps going on and just see how many eggs hatch in the spring. We free range them so we're not worried about them fighting because they can get...

    Rooster is keeping my other rooster from mounting hens

    How would you go about separating them into separate harems if you only have one coop? We free range them. They run all over our seven acre property so we have been observing that if any disagreements occur, they just walk to another area.

    Rooster is keeping my other rooster from mounting hens

    So, we have two Jersey Giant roosters. They are brothers. They were raised together from babyhood. However, one of them (Beckett) is trying to mount and mate our hens (we just got them a couple weeks ago. The boys were on their own for a few months) and his brother (Red) always runs at him as he...
