    Limping/ stationary girl with injured foot or leg. Help!

    Could her not laying be due to her foot and limited mobility? She’s perfectly healthy otherwise, good appetite and all. She sits all day and I move her around the garden but when she gets pecked or chased she hops away. Her droppings look normal but will examine more closely. Her crop feels...

    Limping/ stationary girl with injured foot or leg. Help!

    It’s definitely possible. I’ve since lowered the roost even though they have a platform inside and outside the coop entrance.

    Bumblefoot: lethargic, dark purple comb, minimal appetite- Help!

    That’s fantastic thank you so much! Are they alive once out? Silly question as they don’t eat their own feces but do I have to worry about the chickens eating them?

    Limping/ stationary girl with injured foot or leg. Help!

    I’ll take a video although she sits most of the day and I’ve been moving her around to be with her sisters. She’s 2 years old and although she’s manages to climb into the box haven’t seen her lay. I feed them country organic with access to it all day, and also soak it overnight so they get a...

    Limping/ stationary girl with injured foot or leg. Help!

    Yes examined her leg and foot with a fine toothed comb! Can’t find anything wrong, no swelling, although I’m not entirely sure what that would look like on a bony leg. Will take some photos now.

    Limping/ stationary girl with injured foot or leg. Help!

    I have a very healthy girl, incredible appetite, alert and fine otherwise, (no bumble no worms/mites) who has been limping for a few weeks. I treated her for scaly mites as I noticed a raised scale. It went away after a soapy leg soak and applying veggie oil. The last week she’s gone quickly...

    Bumblefoot: lethargic, dark purple comb, minimal appetite- Help!

    Ok great thank you. I haven’t seen any worms in their feces in the 2 years I’ve had them. Is it necessary do you think? Are there any more natural remedies that work?

    Bumblefoot: lethargic, dark purple comb, minimal appetite- Help!

    Would you advise to do several treatments simultaneously such as Acv and/or garlic cloves in their water (their water is in 2 glass mason jars) or garlic powder in their feed, and some pumpkin seeds or stick to one treatment?

    Bumblefoot: lethargic, dark purple comb, minimal appetite- Help!

    Thank you so much 😞 I just wish I knew what the cause was. I have put ACV in their water in the past but not religiously for a deworming treatment. I’ll do that this week. We live in south Florida and I have (now) 12 girls. I’ve sectioned off a large part of the periphery of the yard (1.25...

    Bumblefoot: lethargic, dark purple comb, minimal appetite- Help!

    Sadly I woke up this morning and she has passed away. 😔 My heart is broken that I was not able to help her. Thank you all for your invaluable suggestions and help. Yes she always has access to crushed eggs shell (they didn’t like oyster shell) and have not dewormed them but I will be sure to...

    I thought to post a vent photo just to make sure I’m looking at poop and not lice. Would love any confirmation!

    Bumblefoot: lethargic, dark purple comb, minimal appetite- Help!

    Wow that’s fascinating! Thank you for the tip! She usually devours eggs raw and cooked and loves fruit and mealworms but nothing aside from the apple was of interest.

    Bumblefoot: lethargic, dark purple comb, minimal appetite- Help!

    I couldn’t get a look down her throat but her crop feels like a mushy, grass filled balloon, bearing in mind she hasn’t eaten much all day aside from part of a half apple. It’s almost bedtime for them so shall I wait and check tomorrow morning to make sure her crop empties or do I have to try...

    Bumblefoot: lethargic, dark purple comb, minimal appetite- Help!

    Thank you so much for the information! It didn’t feel hot when I took off the bandage from yesterday, soaked it and redressed it with the salve. I’ll pay more attention when I redress tomorrow morning. I was just reading about the crop and emptying issues. I’ll try to open her mouth and see if...

    Bumblefoot: lethargic, dark purple comb, minimal appetite- Help!

    Hello all! I noticed my 2 year old girl has bumblefoot around stage 3-4. It seemed to come out of the blue! I’ve read various articles about treatment and began epsom bath soaks the last 2 days and put a bandage with prid on today to see if I can loosen it up and pull it out in a few days of...
