    Eye injury

    Hello there! This is my hen, Reginda. I found her by the highway some months ago. Here in the islands we have a pretty big population of feral chickens, but when I saw her I knew she was not a feral hen. She was sleeping on a fence at around 3 feet from the cars. I knew something wasn’t fine...

    Bumblefoot surgical removal (advice needed on result)

    I received an older cockerel a few days ago who arrived with bumblefoot (confirmed by me and another experienced chicken keeper). He came off a farm, so the previous owner cannot tell me exactly how long it's been there for. Suffice to say, looks like it's been a while. To treat, I soaked his...

    Coccidiosis after antibiotic treatment?

    My poor rooster Stanley. We just finished treating him with a round of antibiotics for his foot access (healed now) but he is lethargic, hunching, his legs have lost yellow pigment and I have to encourage him to eat. His crop is not impacted or squishy. His poops are normal. I wonder if a...

    Hello! I've went to check my egg box this morning for eggs, to find a bunch of tiny, black, spider-like insects crawling over three of my freshly laid eggs. Upon further inspection, I also noticed some smaller, creamy white insects gathered around crevices near the hatch for my egg box and the...

    Scaly leg mites??

    I walked out in my coop this morning, and noticed that my Barred Rock’s feet looked a little odd. After some google searches, I’m thinking it’s scaly leg mites. Thoughts? Also, if it is mites, how would I best treat this? I suppose a bath and Vaseline maybe. I would prefer not to use Ivomec or...

I can not feel an egg in her vent but her abdomen feels enlarged and she is doing the classic penguin walk. I know...

    Suspected severe sour crop - new chicken owners

    First post from long-time lurkers. We bought a couple of scrawny chickens from a dodgy back yard breeder. Both had pretty pale combs, patchy feathers. One had a runny nose and would cough/sneeze. Months later and one of them, the one without the runny nose, is very healthy - plenty of weight...
