Well, this is nothing new. I am always the forgotten person. I will not come back. Been here for years.

Her other foot has a small red place that looked like she hit it on something also. No swelling on that foot, it's just the giant one in the pic. I've put iodine and antibiotic ointment on it 3 times so far, also given 2 doses of Amox 500 in case of infection. No limping or sign it hurts her...

6 mo old pullet, laying, I believe her to be New Hampshire, Rhode Island. She has a wound on top of her left foot- right where it bends to the leg. It looks a lot like bumblefoot, tallish swelling with what looks like a reddish bruise/wound. Other foot shows a reddish small wound, not swollen...

Wow, I learn something new Everytime I am here!

I still remember the 1st time I saw my girls dust bathing! They act like they are stoned/gone goofy!

I've just been thru this with my new pullets. One girl had this split wing thing when they were all molting into their adult feathers. Was that way for at least a month. I just realized yesterday, it's been resolved somehow for her, she finally shed those few wing feathers on both sides and her...

If there's a lot of hardened stuff, I would make a warm olive oil foot bath for them. Could keep it in a suitable sized pan for them for a while. Soak the feet every day in it for a few weeks. Just make sure u are peeling off gooky stuff and not scales or skin. This is not something that's gonna...

Be really careful if clipping stuff off their feet. Blood feathers will bleed, and their toes CAN look just like the foot feathers. Soaking and useing a soft old toothbrush can clean a lot off so u can maybe see what's going on. There's a reason I do not keep feather footed breeds, I don't like...

I got 20 chicks 3 mos ago. While they were growing, I noticed 2 I had no idea what they were. I looked them up & they were brabanters, 1 male, 1 female Their mode of activity was to ALWAYS duck out of sight if they saw I was looking at them, the roo especially. It was almost like they were...

Wait until you see a big hornworm in there. They play football with it till it's just a sorry skin sack, then somebody swallows it.. adult mice usually have the tail hanging out of their beak until they can hork it down.:eek: grasshoppers are immediately dismembered.

I've had good luck grafting chicks onto a Mama by leaving them in a box over or beside a mama who is still sitting but they aren't hatching, dead or whatever happened. I leave them for at least all nite & part of the morning. If she hinky about you, it probably won't work. When she is muttering...

I had bad luck last year with chicks. From predatory chicks to mareks vaccines failing and just weird accidents. I lost fully half of what I grew out before they even started laying. Then, weird things happening to half of my old gals. This year I just now got 8 copper marans, I was down to my...

One thing I have noticed in my flock is that they ALWAYS prefer to roost as close to the area their keeper goes in and out!. Youngsters and the grownups. If there's a roo, he is ALWAYS the closest to the entrance, otherwise it's the top hens. You say your gals like the roost on left of picture...

I have seen combs just like on my wyandottes, I always assumed it was normal.

She can live, if whole inside. She could have been stomped on, or mouth mauled that has injured her insides, monitor any poops. I own two almost full grown bantams, both left side crippled, they r house chickens. Cream Puff seems to have an old injury to the ligimant, Persia has a hip joint...

Please check her nostrils. The pics seem to show darkish nostrils, could be why she's mouth breathing. I had a big girl that ha gotten mash stuffed in her nostrils, it took a week of scraping every day to get it all out. I used blunted toothpicks. How on Earth she got that much crud up her nose...

AFTER Soaking it all well.

A rooster that did that to my favorite hen, is gonna be DINNER the second I got hold of him.
