Could it be a pulled muscle? What I believe happened is that our drake jumped up on top, and with that weight she may have done some sort of splits. I've since corrected this on the deck, which was meant to be temporary, but we've received a little too much snow for how the set up was. When...
I will try and get a better photo, but it's hard to show what it looks like in a photo. I would say the bump is in line/correlation to her leg bone. When comparing it to her other side, it's noticeable and in my opinion, would align with her hip area. The bump would seem to be the top of her...
It feels a little swollen and warm to the touch, but not necessarily tender. I’m able to touch the area without her flinching. She can get up and stand, and walk a little bit, but usually hasn’t done much walking as of yet.
Hello All -
At the top of Pebbles leg (6 month old Pekin), at what I would call her hip - there appears to be a bump, which becomes more apparent when she’s sitting.

They will continue to free range as they have. They're going from a smaller house that is currently next to the new one. I'm looking at what I can do with it in the interim, but until I possibly figure it out or put a tarp on it, it's rather close. It does have a door, which I was thinking of...
As the title states, I am moving 10 chickens from their existing coop to a new one. I've read online a handful of times about locking them in the new coop for three or more days, but that seems excessive.
Any tips and/or recommendations about moving a flock to a new coop?
There were concerns of MG, so I treated one batch with Tylosin/Amoxicillin, but that batch fermented. I don't plan on adding any antibiotics in the future unless they seem to be in need.
I've done a few more batches and so far the only one that didn't bubble is where I used the powdered...
I recently started to ferment my chickens & ducks scratch (corn, barley, oats, etc.) and was curious if anyone has had any luck with adding vitamins/electrolytes/antibiotics/etc. into their fermented feed? I recently tried adding some powder vitamin/electrolyte mix and it seems to have caused...
