    Bumblefoot hard scab. Please help

    I ended up soaking her again and dug with a exaco knife. Then I squeezed it like a zit and pop out it came. Very bloody but it stopped and I cleaned her up wrapped her and now she is sleeping in a separate area for the night. Very good girl!

    Bumblefoot hard scab. Please help

    Hello all! My hen Fall has bumblefoot on her toe. Just noticed it today. She didnt limp at all or show any sign just a bump. I quickly put her in a Epson salt bath for 30 minutes then tried removing the scab. Then there was just more of it. I picked for about 45 minutes before it was getting to...

    Poop board

    I personally wouldn't use kitty litter for the dust but I've also heard sand is a great option and does relatively the same thing.

    Failure to Pip Internally

    35% humidity is a big no. It's supposed to be 65% or higher. The temperature is fine. I would recommend using a broody hen to hatch. They do it best.

    Brooding New Chicks

    What I did with my birds is get a kids pool and put a dog cage around it. Easy to just clean the pool out and then they don't kick bedding out.

    I'm planning to raise fall chicks, but I'm worried about weather.

    6 weeks seems a little early. I would do 8 weeks. Let them stay outside all day but at night take them inside. It will help them adjust when they are permanently outside.

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Finally I have found my people! I'm a small silkie breeder and here are my boys and girls. I've found the boys are absolute jerks and the girls are snobs. My roo will do anything for his girls though so at least he is a gentleman. I specialize in paints since they are so unique but I've gotten a...

    Bumblefoot surgery not walking

    Hi there! I'm a little confused on what you are needing but everything I've read looks right. Epsom salt baths are the way to go. Keep her feet clean and dry when not soaking. When you remove the scabs you need to get the puss out of her foot too. It doesn't look like her feet are swelling up so...

    Baby peacock broken toe/foot/leg HELP!!

    Another thing to help swelling and bruising. Give her a Epson salt bath. Just hold her wings and let her feet soak. There is no need to get her feathers wet. You must supervise at all times though.

    Broody Hens

    Best way to break a broody hen is to put her in a cage with wire on the bottom. So there is air flow under her. Being broody is hard on them but they are designed for it. I'm a breeder and only hatch with my mama hens. What I do is put them in a separate cage with food and water then every day I...
