    Help/advice ASAPP

    Is anybody able to tell me what these bumps on my chicken are and how I’m able to treat it?I recently noticed that she had these bumps around her face and she’s been loosing a lot of feathers which I’m assuming its because she’s older than a year but she’s my only chicken with these weird bumps

    I have a young laying chicken that I rescued approximately 3 weeks ago and I cannot figure out what is going on with her bottom.

    Ivermectin Pour On on Dogs?

    I use Ivermectin Pour-On for mites and lice on my birds. I was wondering, can I use it for dogs? What would be the dosage? I was going to buy a flea collar for my new LGD, but if Ivermectin works, I can use that since I have it on hand. Also, does anyone use SafeGuard dewormer for horses on...

    Torn Comb

    Hello, new here but not brand new to raising chickens. One of my Buffs has recently torn her comb half off. I have seen some other posts here that talk about “dubbing” or cutting the comb. I am unsure how to go about this or where exactly to cut? Is there any harm in just leaving the way it is...

    The Hunt for Mystery Predator

    So I have had the occasional predator come through my electric fence and kill something. The first time it was something that came in and took off the heads of 6 quail. I realized it was because I left a tree standing that was accessible from the other side of the fence. I removed that tree and...

    Why is her leg like this???

    Any idea what could be wrong with her left leg? She has had a limp that has gotten worse over a week and keeps it close to her chest sometimes. No bumblefoot. No swelling or obvious breaks, and her leg feels normal but I noticed that the leg she’s limping on is jutted out at a weird angle. Her...

    Can you put a Chabo (Japanese Bantam) roo with regular size hens ?

    Hello Friends, Hypothetically, is it safe to have a Chabo roo as the only roo in a flock of ISA brown chickens ? The chickens are very chill and friendly. Never had a roo tho. (I love that you guys call roosters roo, like how cute is that) Thanks

    I’ve got a 1 and two month old blue Andalusian who gets a purple comb on the back and tips. (Pics included, but it looks darker in person). It isn’t all day, just usually in the evening when she’s moving around a lot more. I wasn’t too concerned at first because she has a pretty big comb, but...

    Anyone else deal with passive aggressive chicken people at TSC?

Disgruntled lady then launched me nearly into the stratosphere with her cart and grumbled an “excuse me” whilst doing so. Proceeded to pick up a bag of mealworms and run me over again to get out. This is not...
