    Young rooster swollen forelegs, slow growth and watery poop

    Thanks again eggsessive. We will keep observing with care and see how he goes. To be honest his feet were just dirty, I don't think it could be some bumble foot as he is light as a feather. I will take another look to be sure though. I think we all benefit from a good soak in epsom salts~~~...

    Young rooster swollen forelegs, slow growth and watery poop

    Thank you very much for your suggestion, I've followed the threads and read all the information... Still unsure of course though without a test, but could this explain the slow growth from young I'm wondering?

    Young rooster swollen forelegs, slow growth and watery poop

    Hello chicken lovers :) I write on the behalf of my friends flock. Out of 3 eggs hatched in an incubator 3.5 months ago my friend has 2 slow growing Brahma's, as I'm sure you know they grow big and fast. One of them is now clearly unwell, he still hasn't feathered out, just wings and tail...

    I accidently killed my rooster😥

    I accidentally killed my beautiful Beebee Brahma hen today. I was attempting to treat her sour crop by gently massaging her crop upside down, with regular breaks, but she aspirated before I knew it and died so quickly! So so sad :( She knew I was trying to help her, I know, but it feels a break...

    Thank you so much Coach! Those slings look great! I will make one and see how she gets on. :) And great! No binding of legs! And very good to know that it is possible to splint a feathered leg chicken if need be.

    Swollen leg, foot to hock blue green colour! Please help!

    Hi, thank you. Yes, I was a little unsure if that was right. I was working from the advice I'd found that said switch them to layer feed a month before laying and that also it would promote them to start laying. But I'd rather be safe than sorry so I'll follow your advice. Oyster shell is...

    Swollen leg, foot to hock blue green colour! Please help!

    Thank you so much Wyorp rock for your response. Yes it really is that bright blueygreen true to the photo. Her other leg and foot is completely normal. Yesterday afternoon I soaked her leg in a warm bath of himalayan salt as I've ran out of Epsom salts, apparently it has similar benefits for...

    Even with all the hot swelling? That would be so good if it's just a bruise.

    Swollen leg, foot to hock blue green colour! Please help!

    I was horrified to discover my hens leg looking like this today! She is a Brahma so I couldn't see through the feathers to have noticed it!( She is a big heavy girl, she still has her appetite and can even run on it, although I had noticed she'd been slower than usual. I was looking at her...

    Ooh yes, bless her! And she has a missing toenail like my new roo. Very useful to see the plucked feathers outside toe. And all scales smooth unlike my girls.

    Photo's of healthy feathered footed breeds

    I am 1 year new to keeping chickens, and started off with 2 gorgeous Brahma hens. I've recently introduced a rooster to match and he, being a bit of a rescue job came with bad legs, infections in feather shafts and feet after prolonged scaly leg mite infection. He is now doing great. His arrival...

    Scaly leg mites on feathered feet

    Did you find out for sure if it was scaly leg mite? I have feather footed girls and it's hard to tell what's normal with big feathers coming out from under scales making them look like lifted scales! If you on anyone would be willing to post pics of healthy scales on feathered footed breeds it...
