Not sure exactly what this is, but I was just looking at the chickens and noticed my baby Bonnie (5 years old) has this black thing on her nail that protrudes out. When I tried to touch or almost slightly "pull" on it she pulled her foot away and tried to move away from me. I tried to get...
Hi! So last week one of my hens stopped putting weight on one of her legs, and I couldn’t figure out why- there was no swelling or redness or anything. But she was in great spirits, and just got stressed out when I tried to keep her in a kennel to let her rest, so I have just been letting her be...
