After care for Bumble Foot

[Christii]

But all their eggs are AMAZING. Some huge double yokers, but look great, no poo on em, come out super clean, etc.

Was there poop on the egg? Was that the smell?

Nope, never poo on any eggs from any of the 4 girls. But . . . That leads me to a question. Should I deworm them anyhow?

WOW! Double yokers are so much fun! Did the eggs just start to smell? Have they always? Do they still?

If you deworm as a precautionary action the worms could become resistant. I wouldn't unless you know the type of worm to treat for. This is a good source:

No eggs ever smelled. I just think their poo changed when they started laying eggs . . . Like hormonal change maybe? Idk I smell everything. For all I know, there could be a dead mouse in the house next door. Ugh

AFter bumble foot surgery i keep my hen quiet for a few days on dry clean bedding and I apply a layer of burts bees resq ointment ( about £7 here in England and lasts ages and is a cure all must have) i then give her a 7 day course of a herbal supplement called hepar sulphite which is tiny pills in a small tube ( about £7 ) I add 4 to her water daily, it’s a natural antibiotic.
I’m sure she will recover just fine

My worming plan...(haven’t ever had a hen with worms..it is higher maintence than just giving a chemical tablet but I prefer it as I like organic eggs)
I add a few handfuls of diatomaceous earth to the coop floor, nesting boxes and dust bath area.
Always have One clove of garlic in their water . Can be left in there for about a month and just top up the water.
Add 1 very finely minced garlic clove or 1 oz garlic juice , 10oz water , 1 tsp lavender to a Spray bottle ..spray the chickens week.

Her sister Dolly layed a shelless egg inside a shelless egg. It was HUMUNGO

We broken the membrane in a red bowl. I just thought it had two yokes, nope, pulled the other membrane off . . .
