    Ramp for chickens with curled toes

    I have 2 chicks that are a month old that have curled toes. I have 2 others the same age that have normal feet. They’ve been having outdoor play time in the run and I don’t think the ones with curled toes are ever going to be able to make it up the ramp into the coop. I have the Eglu Cube...

It was swollen, had an small, oozing wound, and wouldn’t bend. I thought maybe an injury from being shipped...

    Curled Toes tape lead to Splayed Legs?

    So I’ve incubated some eggs that I purchased and I am a bit disappointed with. Out of a dozen, 9 were fertile and 6 hatched. I also had an additional 25 that I put in the incubator from my own chickens and another breeder - 23 of those hatched. 3 of the 6 of these chicks have hatched with...

    Peachick with Curled Toes -- Are these boots applied right?

    I posted this in Peafowl too but I forgot to add the tags, so I'm posting it here as well. About 30 minutes ago I hatched a single peachick (long story). I believe he was shrink-wrapped, I had to assist him in hatching after about a day and a half, but he's out now. The humidity during his...

    Nutri-Drench for curled toes?

    Help! I have 5 silkie chicks about 5 days old. I just noticed two have their outer toes curled in. While it may be genetic, I read that Nutri-Drench may help in case it’s a nutrient deficiency. Anyway, I’m getting all mixed up on the dosage amounts. At first, I mixed 30ml ND to 1/2 a gallon of...

    New chicken mama (kind of)

    I got my first chicken about a year ago. Her name is Margalo and I love her fiercely. She joined the rest of my boyfriends flock of multiple breeds. No rooster at this time. I decided to try hatching some shipped eggs and this group probably saved two of my chickens as I had to help hatch them...

    Rooster Keeping Toes Curled In On Both Feet While Walking

    Hi guys, this is my Rooster, Bung. I'll explain the issue and then give you insight on Bung's general health. Today I noticed that Bung's mainly putting weight on the backs of his feet while walking. Or like he's putting a lot of weight back on his hocks. It looks like all of his toes are...
