In your bedroom?! Take them out at once. Baby chickens also can carry mites and I am speaking from experience. We raised our one day old 15 🐥 in the kitchen and by week 3 we developed an itch and mini bumps on our skin, we got chicken lice and believe me, you don’t want that problem right in...

Well, I did soak her foot and the "hole" was no a hole. I did try to do surgery on the swollen pad: I sliced it open and squeezed it but to my surprise there was nothing coming out of it, it only bled a little. However, I noticed that the color of her leg is whiter than the healthy one, that is...

We live back in the woods and the veterinarian we take our dog to doesn’t help with chickens, I was told by her office. Thank you and I will soak the foot to inspect it and keep looking for a veterinarian to take her to. God bless.

I have a young hen (mixed chickens parents) and I started to notice she is kind of limping. I corralled her and took a look at her feet. It is BIG swollen but it doesn't have a black eye (the bumble foot's indicator), so what is it? how can I help my little hen? she is about 6 months old, small...

I raced a beautiful red Cornish rooster to breed 5 red Cornish hens, 5 cooco marans hens and 5 Phoenix hens; it did its job but it got “addicted” to jumping all my hens and he was much bigger than my little Phoenix and after it started attacking me I gave it one more chance to give it up, I tied...

I am a first time “grandma”, when my Phoenix went broody I waited for her to show me her schedule: went out with the rest of my chickens to eat and by the time she came back I didn’t know who she was (I have 5 Phoenix hens), once I marked her comb I knew her and also discovered that she wouldn’t...

Try with moth balls. I had the same problem with skunks and I emptied the whole bag under the barn/chicken coop, good bye skunks. Good luck.

I had one rooster just like yours. It’s name was Chico, out of the blue he became aggressive and I ended up bringing a broom’s stick with me every time I needed to go to the coop. Chico came charging at me and I pretended to attack him with the stick to keep him at bay; it worked but he never...

Get a funnel from the veterinarian to put it around your dog’s neck. If she manages to get anything while wearing the funnel let it have it!

Make “lemonade” with your lemons, meaning: save money by not buying chicken anymore, buy cracked corn (chickens love it), make a small corral, place the corn on the furthest corner, placing few kernel at the entrance to be followed by the chickens, close the door and you will have bbq chicken...

I am sorry to share the passing of plumitas today; she was brave and kept the fight until the end; I know the doctor I spoke with and other people might say: it was only a chicken but for me that took care of her for 5 days and nights it’s painful but thanks God I still have 15 more baby chicken...

Third day and plumitas is still with us. She does gasp right after feeding and watering; while she sleeps she doesn’t do it. Today she ate a little more and she is getting used to being held. I used an styrofoam block 1” thick to create a “crib” by making a hole in the middle, big enough for...

Thank you for your input. The answer to your 5 questions are, in the same order: Yes, yes, no, kind of, no. I made the oatmeal like paste and I am hand- feeding her, I am using a very fine dropper to give her water and she accepts everything but she still gasp for air. Thank to the video about...

:) Hello everybody, I am freshly “hashed” into this backyard chicken site.

My babies are 16 days old and this morning I noticed one of them was very sleepy and even though the other baby chicken run over it she kind of move but was not getting up. I picked it up and I realized that one of the legs is not working. I couldn’t feel anything broken but I am not a...
