Hey Tristeli did you find any success here? I am in the exact same situation. I have been doing all the tricks and mine is able to process food. She still has what feels like a ball of clay in her crop. It has not gone down much in five days. I have done the coconut oil and massages. Crop...

Hey experts! Does this look like bumble foot?

I have Pennchlor 64 that the vet prescribed for one of my girls a couple mos back. I have mixed some up and will give it to the sick girls. I understand it’s not a cure but maybe help them not get anything new while they fight this off. I’ll update here in a few days.

Thanks both for quick responses. I just got them yesterday from a feed store so who knows how they have been treated while there. They are in tubs in my spare room. No water spills, mold and ventilation should be fine. I have a broad spectrum for MG. My flock did have a respiratory think move...

Hey everyone! I have 6 new chicks. Two are snotty and having trouble breathing. Can I put antibiotics in their water? I am guessing these two are maybe a week old. They are eating and drinking but sound awful. I have separated them from the others. videos...

Oh I had not considered they could get air in their crop!

I just came back in from checking on her and she seems perfectly normal now 🤷‍♀️ I am wondering if she had something not sitting right in here crop yesterday. I will keep a close eye on her but looks like we dodged a bullet this time. Thanks for your thoughts on this, it was an odd one for...

One door is partially open at night the other is closed. The vents are 3” in diameter each. The coop and chickens are 3y old and I have never had ventilation or respiratory issues so I do not believe it’s a ventilation issue. When I clean it yesterday there was no moisture just dry bedding and...

correct it moves up and down as she breaths in both spots. Ruptured air sac is an interesting idea but idk if it would move like this if that was the issue. She has had no symptoms of anything and there is no vet I can take her to here. The coop is dry and fresh. I was actually cleaning today...

Try now

it’s about 40 square feet. Has about 12 vents and two doors

👋 I have a 3y RIR that has been fine until this evening. There is nothing I can find or see or hear but she is fluffed up and has some odd breathing going on. *My flock is small 7 *They are more pets that anything *There are no vets here *In Indiana any thoughts? video...

Omg @Eggcessive I do hope that is all it is! I have just been watching it for the past couple weeks because she does not seem sickly, just snotty lol. Thank you for the info. I will continue to monitor.

Hey all! I have a chicken that is sneezing and sounds congested. This has been going on for over two weeks now. Yesterday I noticed another one starting the same symptoms. The 1st is an almost 3y RIR. The 2nd one is about 21w (has not stated laying yet). I started reading on causes and looking...

@Wyorp Rock and @BantyChooks Woohoo you were right it was just hardened mud and poop! I am so relieved. I soaked her in warm epsom salt water and then just put my thumb on the top side of the bulge and gently pushed it out. Came out without issue on both feet. Thank you again! ❤️

Ty so much for all the feedback! @Wyorp Rock thank you for all the details! I did not take a pic of the bottom of the other foot as it looks EXACTLY like this one.

I have never encountered bumble foot so I am hoping for your thoughts! She has this on both feet. Bumble foot or something else?

@jchny2000 she actually went thru a rough molt in November. She was broody when the others were molting and started after them. Her new feathers were all starting to come in and one day the others plucked her almost bald! I brought her in for two weeks until they started regrowing.

One of my girls looks like her head feathers are frayed on the ends... maybe I am just seeing things but has anyone ever encountered this? It has been really cold here until today so of course I went out taking pics! That’s when I noticed this on her. None of the others look like this. 5 hens...
