hi @Shadrach probably not the best plact to ask this but I have a chicken with either a sore or maybe bumble foot.....could i use the hoof tar on the bumble foot or should i do surgery first? In your experience. Thank you so much I love your very thorough knowledge of chickens
After a very brutal cold streak with some frostbite on my 2 roosters. Which breeds of chickens have small single comb. I was just looking at anyone with a small comb for the future but saw that orpingtons which are cold hardy have single combs but are smaller, has anyone had an Orpington...
