We have a hen come up lame this morning. Tiptoe when walking on that leg and holding it up when still. We also noticed the sound leg has a little rosy hue through it, and the lame leg is just yellow. The bottom of her foot looks good, and when she was on my son's are she showed no signs of...

This is our first experience with bumblefoot. Went through a few days of soaking, applying coconut oil, and infusing bandaging with neosporin to soften the callus. My son was finally able to get it removed today. We don't see any pus, and don't know how much more scraping/cleaning we need to...

We brought in a hen 2 days ago. Do we need to worry about returning her outdoors due to temperature differences? It's 32 F today, with an overnight low forecasted to be 25.

Wondering if anyone uses this product, and if it works?

I dried and crushed about 1/2 gallon of eggshells, but our girls won't be laying for another several weeks/month. Do they have a shelf life? If I freeze them will they sweat and be wet when we put them out?

We moved our flock (15 weeks ) into the coop and left them for 4 days. Yesterday we opened it up and managed to bribe some of the bolder ones out. Do we just wait out the rest of them? Some will come down to the bottom and peck grass from there, but don't want to make that last step. The rest...

I see alot of people saying PDZ is dusty. Blain's Farm and Fleet sells this stall dry. https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/1342742-stall-dry-26-lb-stall-absorbent-and-deodorizer.html . I don't know if the ingredients are a little different, and primarily if it would be less dusty. Our...

We are having a very wet spring, and laid some straw on the walkway to our chicks. They are in my husband's dry heated shop. There was one flake of straw that had some mold (we've removed that since we realized that). We are concerned about mold spores that may have come in on our shoes...

Have a young hen with a broken toenail. Bleeding is pretty much subsided, but what do we do to disinfect/prevent infection?

We have chicks together of multiple ages - 2, 3 and 4 weeks old. They get along fine. 2 days ago one found a feather and and was eating it. My husband grabbed it out of it's mouth, only the quill remaining. Do we need to worry? They have alot of space, temperature is good. It was one random...

We purchased yellow chicks at TSC sold as Easter eggers. We realize there is a wide variety of colors. Our chicks are feathering out a clear cream color, no muff or beard. Could they still be EE, or possible mislabled?

Can we hang a brussel sprout for our 2 week old chicks to peck? Also we have some chaffhaye for the deer. Can they get a little of that yet, or too soon?

We were offered a used chicken coop to move to our property. No birds in it for the past 3 years. How do we clean it and what precautions do we need to take to make it safe?

Getting set up and ready for chicks. Trying to learn as much as we can, and have a source of helpful information. We have a few folks to help guide us along the way but having education at our fingertips is awesome! Looking forward to reading.
