Hi looking for some help ,I’m suspecting my hen has a dislocated hip , she limps but is still able to get around , hops on the roosts, free ranges, she does lay down more but she manages.
Is there a fix without taking her to a vet? And if not , is it okay to let her live like this?
Thanks in...
Not a chance its that, when I clean her foot in water there is no dark spots, and my coop is very clean and dry, I change shavings every 2 weeks and is never wet .
So I posted a week ago about my hen limping, so people were saying Bumblefoot, I have soaked her twice now and I have no clue what I’m looking at. Nothing comes off, I don’t see a black scab when it’s cleaned.
Is this bumblefoot?
My hen is limping, I’m thinking she got chased down from the roost and fell from too high.
She just lays down all the time , barely eats and won’t leave the coop.
Iv put her in a small enclosed space so she can heal but
Will she heal? Or is she just suffering ?
Thanks for the help
Ok thank you for all that feedback.
So instead of getting laying pullets, if I were to get a bunch of 3 month olds, can I put them together right away or no ?
Just starting off, built my coop and now I’m getting a bunch of juvenile hens from different people, do I just throw them all in the coop and say get along?
Thx for the help !
Hey everyone,
Having a hard time finding a walk-in coop plan approx 10x10 or larger , there’s no websites with actual plans just pictures .
Be nice to have something to sort of follow along
Thanks in advance !!
