Thank you Eggsessive. Here are more photos, including the bottom of her feet.

Here are photos.

Ar first we thought Ellie had bumblefoot but can someone with experience tell me if this looks like gout or some other kind of staph infection? She jumps up on the roost but puffs up her feathers really big so I'm guessing she's in pain. She's walking around & will eat fresh berries from my...

😔 Ugh. I thought so for a while; pushy & controlling; nothing like my Buff Orpington was. so hard to rehome, but hoping because of breed it will be easier. I just don't want him to wind up on somebody's plate.

I'm a newbie chicken keeper in the Piedmont of NC; looking to learn more and increase my flock. I was reluctant to get chickens at first and now I'm in love with these feathery, funny creatures.
