    Bumblefoot foot wrap Cochins

    It may have been too tight although we had tried to prevent that. As I said above, with a normal chicken foot as seen in this video, that’s easy, we are pros at this point. I do the soaking & surgery, then we switch duties and I hold, he wraps the foot. It’s the cochin’s foot feathers that had...

    Bumblefoot foot wrap Cochins

    Hi everyone. I’m looking for any special tips/ tricks to wrapping the foot of a Cochin with Bumblefoot. We’ve had Bumblefoot enough times around here over the 10+ yrs I’ve been keeping chickens, but only once before in one of the Cochins. At that time, the foot wrap seemed to really irritate the...

    Hen Spurs

    I know I’m late to the party here but if anyone still wants to reply, did your hens with spurs stop laying? Is it a hormone thing? My polish is just starting to grow the spurs, much bigger than the little nubs used to be, so they’re coming in. That’s fine, I’ll learn how to trim them and all...

    Chicken with very soft stool

    Thank you so much. I’m not really sure what I’m dealing with, but based on their poop and their behavior, it’s looking pretty parasite-y, worm-ish although I’ve seen none. * I’ve fed them crickets once a weekend (100 crickets for 10 chickens) and a few super worms each (from petco) to...

    Chicken with very soft stool

    Hi I know I’m late to the party and this sounds like a dumb question, but when you say “dose them orally” - does it come as a powder or liquid? are you talking about adding to food do they eat it, force-feeding with a syringe (mix it with something?), I guess I’m asking how someone to tell me...

    Ear infections?

    So here’s my Wyandotte today. Mites maybe? The skin is slightly peeling on the left side.

    Ear infections?

    I haven’t found any lice, mites or ticks. Everyone is eating drinking and laying. Some of the poop I see in the coop/ run is not normal though. More bulky/ larger amount than normal. I’m at work now but will be checking again tonite. favus maybe?

    Ear infections?

    Hi friends, I have at least 3 hens with ears that look like this (see photos). At least one is warm to the touch. There’s no puss (yet) but there is slight swelling I think with my EE here. I do not have a vet for chickens. Not sure what I’m dealing with and what to do. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    Ended Official BYC Contest—Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures - 2023

    I have one Speckled Sussex who is looking TERRIBLE and I actually logged in to BYC today to maybe check some threads, ask some questions … maybe my girl just needs her picture taken for the BYC pageant and she’ll be ok after that?

    DePluming Mites

    I’ve had months of problems with my chickens, feather loss, over-preening, anemic, decreased egg production…. The whole nine yards. I knew that something was happening, likely mites or lice, we’ve tried *just about* everything with ZERO results. My blue Cochin looks terrible, she has looked like...

    ~The Broody Thread~

    Wouldn’t recommend “it”- as in “it” being letting her remain broody ? Sorry I just want to make sure I understood.

    ~The Broody Thread~

    So I have a Speckled Sussex who is about 11 mos old, and she’s gone broody for the first time, it’s been about 3 days now. I go out to the nesting box about 2 Xs a day to force her out to get food and water. She’s all kinda mad, fluffed up and growling at me 🤣🤣🤣. We’ve been shutting the door to...

    11 wk old BR suddenly stands like penguin

    So I started the big girls on Corid as well as the youngsters. Today was day 2 of Corid for the big girls. Praise report: my BR pullet is turning a corner. Eating, pecking more (instead of a dazed confused look for minutes at a time), tail is up - I’m hopeful for a full recovery for her. But...

    11 wk old BR suddenly stands like penguin

    I haven’t noticed any mites or lice but I’ve been looking. I’ve suspected some kind of parasite for a while now. We treated the entire adult flock with ElectorPSP a few weeks ago, but they are all still itching and preening more than I’d like. But I haven’t found a single mite, lice, nothing...

    11 wk old BR suddenly stands like penguin

    Hi I have a question if anyone is still listening. When you give liquid Corid in their water, is that the only water you offer or do you also continue to give clean water also? Thanks

    11 wk old BR suddenly stands like penguin

    They are 11 wks old. Full open air, about 55-60 degrees during the day. It’s been kind of cloudy the last few weeks, more so than usual. They are still on their chick grower feed. Does anyone know the proper dosage for liquid Corid?
