Thanks, all, for the help!

Thanks for the feedback! I was hoping that was just dirt. Thankfully, there are a lot of instructions about next steps on this site. I'm not sure if you (or anyone else who finds this thread) know, but will that hard bump on top of her foot more-or-less deflate when I cut out and clean the scab...

I just noticed this bump on my americauna hen's foot, and not quite sure whether it needs treatment and what that treatment might be. She's behaving normally, no limp, just the bump. The bump itself feels firm. Based on photos around here and internet of bumblefoot, I'm not sure that's it, as...

Have to agree. Sesame, our Speckled Sussex is the sweetest and friendliest hen in our family. Love them all, but Sesame is special!

Great news! So glad she is doing better. I'll look into tracking down some panacur as I wait for valbazen to arrive. Thanks for the update!

Yes, thanks for the update! I'll be very curious what they find. Best wishes to you and your hens!

Thank you!

Thanks for the info! Would you recommend I worm rest of flock? None showing symptoms, but only 6 others, so wouldn't be too hard to do.

Hello - One of our 3.5 year old buff orphington hens has recently started acting quite strange. A couple days ago, I noticed she didn't exit the coop when I opened the door to the run (usually she bursts out with the others to try to get morning bugs/worms first). That day she sat alone at the...

Vaseline - interesting! I'll look into that (although I'm not sure I'm skilled enough to fill egg with vaseline :)).

There's been an egg eating mystery the last couple of weeks. Once every 2-3 days, there will be signs of an egg being eaten. We've tried golf balls, but we have a Buff Orphington who is prone to broodiness - once the balls are inside, she won't leave the nest box. Quite the conundrum. So...
