    Arizona Chickens

    We have hardware cloth on the Coop - for whatever reason, my dad opted for the chicken wire on the yard - sparrows, finches and a few other birds keep getting in. And we typically have people home throughout the day - if not, the chickens are moved to the coop and locked in.

    Peg Leg / Eileen - Only using one leg

    Well, upon examining her two feet this morning, her good foot (pink bottom, curled in one picture) is just a bit dirty, and the lame foot's pad is certainly swollen, and the whole foot is quite dirty. The bad foot is also a bit warm to the touch, but not terribly. She won't climb the Coop's...

    Illinois...

    Yeah, mid 60s during the day, low 40s overnight right now. My grandma said it was 10 outside when I talked to her this morning.

    One of two. Frances and Ethel, Frances has more red on her head/neck. We have two Naked Necks, two Sapphire Gems, two Jerseys (I think - I wasn't there when they were purchased).

    Arizona Chickens

    Ours (not even 1 year) managed the summer just fine, with a north-south cross breeze always coming through. We were raising them in our garage until about July, when they transitioned to their newly built coop. The coop has a full, shaded roof - we have hawks, and predators to protect against...

    Arizona Chickens

    We purchased our home in 2022, located north of Rio Verde/ Fountain Hills and east of Scottsdale. We recently began raising our own chickens - Frances, Ethel, PegLeg and 3 others that have not really earned names yet. All of our chickens were purchased from Tractor Supply last spring. My father...

    Illinois...

    Well, yes but no. I was born in Illinois, as was my mom (Primary Chicken Wrangler), but we've since left Illinois and settled in Arizona - we got our chickens last year.

    Thank you for the welcome! (Ethel is the profile picture, I think. Frances has more red along her neck).

    Peg Leg / Eileen - Only using one leg

    I'll try and get pictures tomorrow. She doesn't put weight on it at all, but doesn't always hold it up to her body. The leg does not appear to be swollen; I haven't noticed any discoloration. The foot's toes are not swollen, but I'm unsure about the "pad". *Also, we're quite certain she is...

    Peg Leg / Eileen - Only using one leg

    In the picture, Peg Leg is on the straw bale, her foot in a brace. She's been only using one leg for about 2 weeks, we're novice chicken raisers and didn't notice anything wrong with her leg when the injury first occurred. We don't know how or when the injury occurred, because we've been...

    Howdy. One lame hen...

    At the moment, yes. PegLeg has been hopping around on one foot for about 2 weeks, she navigates the coop and yard just fine - but won't use the bridge. The primary Chicken Wrangler is on vacation, and I am the next in line to treat the bird.
