    Bumps on feet that bleed

    Good question! And no we don't have ants like that. My guess is one is getting bullied - hence the sores on her comb - been watching them on the cameras the last couple of days. The others for their feet - not sure what is going on - I think maybe bugs in the tall grass and/or cutting...

    Bumps on feet that bleed

    Thank Thank you so much. I have been treating them with the ointment and a spray. One has this on her comb and above one of her eyes. This one does not have any on her feet. I removed hardware cloth that I had wrapped around my fig tree, thinking maybe they got hurt trying to get to the figs.

    I put way too much DE in my girls' dust bath. Should I just start over? Where should I dump the DE and sand mix?

    Arizona Chickens

    I got a fertilized egg from a neighbor as I had a broody hen. The chick has hatched and I think she is a pullet at 8 weeks now. This was a great way to hatch one and mom does all the work.

    When can I put chicks outside in extreme Arizona heat?

    I too live in Arizona and am relatively new to chickens. Last year, my 1 year olds were in my Omlet Eglu at night - 4 girls. I put a 1 gallon bottle of water in the freezer and put that ice block in the coop with them at night. I took out the droppings tray and put a fan angled upwards to the...

    Max. number of hens you have fit in eagle cube?

    I have an eglu cube with a large run. They only coop to sleep at night or to get to the nesting boxes to lay. I leave the coop open in the warmer Arizona months which is most of the year - it is closed in the winter when temps dip down into the 40's. I had 3 banties and 1 large (biefelder) in...
