    Bumblefoot

    Hello BYC community!! I’m struggling with my chickens. We have 28 chickens and 3 ducks. We clean the coop regularly, have soft bedding, railings for them to get up and down from the roosts and even cleaned out rocks/sticks/debris from the yard. Our birds get bumblefoot roughly every 3 or 4...

    Molting or picked on?

    These are kind of the only pictures I could get, we have another bird that’s starting to lose feathers also so I’m really hoping it’s just molting 😅 I’ve been watching out for blood because we have had that happen before but I haven’t seen any!

    Molting or picked on?

    I have a year old hen that I can’t tell if she is molting or if she is getting picked on. This is our first full year of chickens and they haven’t really molted yet since we have had them so I’m not too sure. She is missing feathers on the back of her neck and has no tail feathers. She is still...

    Our birdies seem to be freezing!

    I’m in Spokane Washington! And I’m taking Fahrenheit! We have a bundle of random birds! We did an assortment order so being new to this it’s hard to narrow down which is which! Looking through a few hatchery magazines I believe we have a handful of leghorns, a Dominique, polish, Delaware...

    Our birdies seem to be freezing!

    We have 19 chickens and four ducks. It very quickly has dropped in temperature to about -10 at night and maybe 3° during the day. I went to check on the birds this morning and it looks like our ducks are literally shaking from the cold. The coop is not large enough for me to feel safe putting a...

    Help my poor baby!!

    She is still pretty wobbly! Falls over a lot, gets pretty off balanced easily. She is still eating and drinking though! I did some reading and it suggested getting electrolytes for her. But not sure…any advice??

    Help my poor baby!!

    I have a 5(ish) week old baby chick and she doesn’t seem well. She is very wobbly and can’t seem to stand up tall without falling over. She also isn’t getting as big as the others we got at the same time as her. She is eating and drinking and still moving around her little coop. We took her out...
