The white stuff is from her stepping in her own droppings. I’m wondering if the dark part needs to be treated or not?

Hello I’m wondering if I can reuse the same tricide neo bath for multiple hens? I have a few at different stages of bumblefoot, one who doesn’t have scab yet. Will the staph somehow get into the water and infect the others? I don’t have enough to make fresh baths for them all.

Hello I have a hen acting a bit lethargic/ lying down in the run with her eyes closed about a month out from when she got off antibiotics (clavacillan from the vet) for salpingitis (she bounced back and was acting normal until today). I have baytril and am wondering if I should start her on a...

I have hens with grades 1, 2 and 3, as well as the solo image which may not be Bumblefoot. Which of these need intervention? Thank you!

One of my hens has a very small black scab on the bottom of her foot. I have seen a full blown Bumblefoot scab and this one does not compare in size. Do you recommend I still treat it? I normally use the epsom salt soak and Prid drawing salve method. Can I ignore a small one or should I go...

Coarse all-purpose sand, unwashed with God knows what in it OR fine-particles but washed sand? Thank you!!

Is this kind of sand safe for me to put in my chicken's run? It currently has terrible drainage and gets very muddy every time it rains. My chickens practically all have Bumblefoot. -_- Or would gravel be better? There are no quarry-type places around me. I have to get this stuff in a bag.

Hello, My hen seemed to be on the brink of death a few weeks back with what was likely salpingitis. I was completely prepared for her death, really thinking there was no hope. Her stool had the beige puss masses in it and she was very very lethargic. Her stool after passing a few bouts of this...

My Brahma’s feet feathers get pulled out my other chickens unfortunately, so she’s left with stubby bare legs. Do you think the empty pin spots are infected? Her leg was bleeding a bit today so I put her in an epsom salt bath and put neosporin on them. Should I be wrapping them in something? To...

Hello, I have a hen on a course of antibiotics, but I need to leave town for a couple days. I am planning on bringing the hen with me (along with another one that I just discovered is getting bullied and has drawn blood on her comb). If they are gone from their coop for 2 or 3 days, is this...

Hello, I'm looking for a good type of sand to put in my coop and run, as I'm noticing my chickens are getting bumble foot -_- (I'm overwhelmed). I think a good place to start would be switching to sand instead of my muddy run and wood shavings coop. Does anyone have a particular brand and name...

Hello, I have a hen attempting to recover from salpingitis. I think there may be something up with her crop as well-- she doesn't eat much, but her crop is quite enlarged/round-like-a-ball feeling. It is not "hard" or "firm" though. It feels more like a bean bag. This morning when I felt it, it...

Is parakeet grit (Kaytees) okay does adult hens to have as a supplemental grit source? Thanks!

Hi all, I believe I have a sick hen and would really appreciate if anyone could help figure out what's wrong! I first noticed her this afternoon acting lethargic with her tail down. She kept falling asleep while standing up as well as laying down in the run. It was very hot today, over 90...
