    Chicken's 'ankles' both bleeding

    Hi again. So I've supplied you with a few more pics if it helps. Hope I'm not bothering. Pic #1- Shows inside the Omlet run and you can see the coop at the back of it. What I've noticed is that the chickens, except for a few times a day mostly stay together within a sq.meter area. They love...

    Chicken's 'ankles' both bleeding

    Thanks, yes we tried the pinless peepers for some weeks and they really worked for us. The only slight problem was that it started to turn her beak a little black and blue. I guess the pins hit a vessel or something. Since we've taken the peepers off of her to let her beak heal we started...

    Chicken's 'ankles' both bleeding

    I guess I either scared everyone away or tired them out. :D So does anyone have other clever tricks to cure a Hen who is going after other chicken's feet and doing pretty good damage? I know chickens can develope pecking problems especially in the winter. Only one of my hens went into molt...

    Yes, I have to decide. With it being soo cold in the night probably the garage will also be extremely cold by herself. Not easy w this weather. I tried some self adhesive tape in the morning. Maybe it was not adhesive enough because the injured hen pulled one almost off within minutes and...

    Chicken's 'ankles' both bleeding

    Sorry for soo many questions but should I put her with dog crate in the garage for the evening by herself? I would bring her in the house but like said the temp difference is pretty extreme. It's 72 inside while it will be probably like 17 degrees in the night. Then around 35 degrees during...

    Chicken's 'ankles' both bleeding

    Ok so latest, I have for now decided to separate my Sussex that has been bullying everyone. I noticed this morning that she was not only pecking at the feet of the injured chicken but also picking at the feet of most of the others including one of my chickens that's at the top of the pecking...

    Chicken's 'ankles' both bleeding

    Ok. I have to go find some. I don't have. We put for now a similar kind of bandage but she already started pulling it off herself... Here is a pic of her feet btw! Sorry it's not so clear. It doesn't look like it's leg mites. The scales aren't raised up. It looks to me like some kind...

    It's dry this week just because it's soo cold. Ya I'll try that. But won't the vet wrap again attrack the birds to peck even more? I know they go crazy for anything that looks like paper, or a bandage. My Sussex is the most curious of them all and goes for that kinda stuff right away.

    Chicken's 'ankles' both bleeding

    Ya I was also baffled. If it's not leg mites then I suspect it could be my Sussex that has been bullying others. I also have two Marans which are lower on the pecking order and one of them has been going through a molt this winter. Because the Maran has feathers on her legs she's bled from...

    Chicken's 'ankles' both bleeding

    Hi. A beginner's question but first some background. We had about the coldest day probably of this Winter today. It was about 19.5 degrees Fahrenheit and windy. For that reason I checked on my chickens every couple of hours during the day to make sure that they had unfrozen water. As I...
