    Hen w/ injured foot, no visible wound

    Thank you! She’s not being picked on, she’s usually the lead hen and was mostly taking it easy. She’d hop over to her food and water but otherwise was sitting. She made it into her coop and is roosting for the night, tomorrow I’ll give her a good Epsom salts soak and some melon as a treat...

    Hen w/ injured foot, no visible wound

    My hen Rex was fine yesterday but is limping today. Her left foot is swollen on the foot pad, and she’s not wanting to put weight on it. The foot and leg are also hot to the touch. There’s no visible scab/scratch/wound, otherwise I’d assume bumblefoot and treat accordingly. Any ideas on what it...

It’s tricky with a mixed flock so I appreciate any help with sexing I can get.

We wanted to keep our roo last year but he crowed too much for our neighborhood. Just for fun, here’s a...

    Sexing 10 week old white leghorn

    I’m starting to think Alice might be Almonzo. She’s 10 weeks old, comb has been fully red for a week or two (had tinges of pink before that). We have a mixed flock so no other leghorns to compare her to, but her tail is more erect than all my other hens. It’s the curled feathers at the base of...
