Okay I will try this and won't give them any treats like I do the roaming roosters ...(my boys that can't be in with the girls cause there isn't enough to go around and I keep them as pets)
Yes I did a thorough search for cuts, swelling, hot or warm to the touch, scabs, bumps, cysts, pockets or smell, and I did smell my chickens feet lol only earth and natural smell nothing necrotic
I bought package of powder from tractor supply , I forget the name ... I just ordered NutriDrench instead, the other is all gone anyway...I only do bread and once in awhile some fruit if it's left over from cutting up fruit salad ... but I don't do alot ..maybe once a week?
So they first get medicated feed , then at 12 weeks I switched to laying feed with supplement and I use a prebiotic and also a vitamin and electrolyte drink for them in a feeder every other week... I don't get birds from anywhere , I hatched these out from fertile eggs I bought from one place...
Hey there
My girl has been acting weird for a couple weeks now, she started limping on one side...as if she had pinched a nerve laying an egg...her foot on one side , the toes curl in towards themselves ...she stopped walking...I separated her and after a few days she started walking...
