Sorry! I just now saw your reply. She never acts in pain, she still has them, I was able to remove a little bit of the scab from one bumble but it's still swollen, she knocked another one loose and it bled. She was getting to the point where she'd run when she saw me coming so I've been giving...

This is Butters. I love her, she is my sweet girl. I noticed today she had swelling at one of her toe joints. I regularly pick her up and check feet, usually feel and a quick glance, but then I noticed it looks like she's got a bumble. I'm in SE TN and we had a bunch of rain within the past week...

I know this was old but what ever happened to this one? My Cochin is having the same issue and I can't find anything about it anywhere.

Update here, I did scratch it off and this is what it looks like now, but the little specks were all hard.

...looks like this. I've seen the random hard 'sprinkles' (what my kids call them) on my hens eggs but my year old girl just laid this one, like I watched her drop it, and it had these bumps in a cluster. They look like bug eggs! But they're hard and won't scrape off. I've never had any issues...

These are interesting! I'll be checking them all out. She is a darker brown but not really much red, compared to my RIRs. She's super fluffy too! No foot feathers either. I was thinking like a welsummer mix or a Wyandotte mix but eeehhhh I'm just not seeing it. She just looks like a mix. I was...

I was starting to think that but wasn't sure bc of her coloring! She has the fluffy long feathers and the short comb like my girl lavender orpington, I'm just new to the breed. Thank you for the suggestion!

I got this lady from our local co op and she's the only one I can't figure out the breed. She super fluffy but loves to run everywhere she goes, she's very curious, keeps up with the main part of the flock, comes when she's called as long as one or 2 others are coming with her. She's a spring...

Are you saying you think 2 of my orps are roos?

Thanks! Of my birds like my camera lol

The last one is a toss up for me. It's comb and waddle are the same color now as they were in this picture.

Ok I spend an unhealthy amount of time with my newest flock lol, I've been trying to figure out what breeds I ended up with from our co-op, 5 are from a breeder so 3 are lavender orpingtons, one is a cochin, and I can't remember what the other one is (kids named her brownie) I originally planned...

That's a relief! So what causes the intestinal shedding? Anything I could be doing wrong?

I started this year with 3 hens. They laid nearly every day through the winter (2 Rhode Island reds and one marans) and once it warmed up they all 3 stopped, or what I assumed was they decided to start laying in the woods since they free roam. I'd moved their coop bc we had heavy rains for a...

Ah thank you so much! It's been a while since I've posted even though it says I'm new. I've not posted through the app on my phone before and I'm having a hard time navigating. Thanks again!

Thank y'all so much! So this morning my husband let the chickens out when he got home from his night shift and he told me that my newly discovered rooster was crowing! So I'm thinking he's just not as chatty or the other roos just stepped up first? And tomorrow I'll be picking up a lady for my...

Ok, great! So they'll just acclimate to that one? And yes, I'm definitely keeping an eye on the drake, I'm trying to find someone close by willing to sell me a female. I wanted to wait till the spring for another one but I've heard lots of horror stories about over rowdy drakes hurting hens 😔...

Hi! This is my second time raising chickens but the longest run so far. I started out a few years ago but we had major predator issues so after much devastation and heartbreak I decided to take a break for a while. Now with covid and all, I figured this was the best time to pick up where I left...
