Haven't posted in awhile, but I have caught up and have a question. Does anyone have any frostbite remedies? Both my boys had to spend the night amd today inside because of it. I have home made neosporin rubbed on them, but didn't know if anyone else had any ideas. Their crowing is about to...

I'm not far from you out here in Coatesville.

Welcome!! Its always nice to meet more local chicken keepers!!

X2. IT always hurts to lose a pet!

They're 12 weeks today

So while I was outside watching the flock, I heard our first attempt at a crow!!! It sounded more like a bugle but still!!! I laughed pretty hard ad then he did it again. I think from watching them they all seem fine so maybe it was just a fluke. I'll keep watching though just on case.

This is our first time even really being around chickens so I wasn't sure if this was a problem. I did notice one of the roos was walking slower, more tenderly if that makes sense. That's what made me think it might be a problem. I'll have to go out later during nap time and really look him over...

Yeah that looks odd!! Lol they were close enough to peck my phone and lucked when the camera snapped, lol.

Ok so this is one of the worse ones and everything looks good other than some dirt/poo. She wasn't tender or anything either when I flexed her foot and pushed on it.

haha it worked!!!!

Thank you! I googled picture of scaly leg mites and that's not it. Hubby and I went out late last night and checked under wings and around vents and didn't see anything. The skin was nice and pink, and feathers were clean. I'm going to post a picture on the fb page if anyone can hop over and...

So I took a picture of their feet this morning but byc isn't letting me upload it... I can post it on the fb page though if that will help. Most aren't red but the roo seems like his feet hurt, so I think they may be sore at least.

Ok so hubby and I went out and checked over a few of the chickens for mites or lice and found nothing... Could they just have dry skin? I'll try and get a picture of it tomorrow to post for a better idea.

Ok so I'm not sure what kind of mites they are now... I didn't see one on them but saw their poor feet are missing scales. How will I know which kind they are? Will I also have to completely remove our DL?

Ok so while I was outside earlier, I noticed some of my chickens had picked the scales off the webbing from between their toes!! After a Google search I found out that it's mites.... So how do I get rid of them and then also prevent them from coming back??? We're very new to this but I would...

Sadly though not unexpectedly, the baby was gone next time I went out to check on it. It kind of looked like something got it as my chamomile looked a little ragged. While sad I know it was for the best. On a good note, all the chickens were in the coop on their own tonight when I went out to...

There nests nearby but I don't know which one it's from or how to get it back into it... so sad.

What do I do!!! I just found a baby bird in my newly planted chamomile! Its still mostly pink and the eyes aren't even opening a lot!! Do I move it? I can't just leave it, it will die where it's at. I can't even imagine how it got there as there's no place for a nest even close by. Ahhh help!!

I have tried three times to upload a pic of my girl turned boy sunning himself and it won't load. I'll just try again later.

So sorry for your car but I'm glad everyone was ok. I just lost another high school class mate in a car wreck. Such a sad thing to happen.
