Maintenance preventative measures you do

Is it OK to give probiotic and albon together?

 

[mirandaleecon]

I don't see why that would be a problem. The probiotic isn't a chemical so it won't react with the albon.

This is what her current bumblefoot looks like its not swollen anymore there's just a really weird scab leftover but it doesn't look infected it doesn't look like there's any issues with it so I just cleaned it off with water and left it open to air because the wrap starting to irritate her legs should I recut out the scab

Could the stress of being sick cause her to loose that many feathers?

 

[mirandaleecon]

I would leave that alone and just keep an eye on it.

If you are seeing pin feathers, she is most likely just molting. Probably why she is being grumpy with the other hens. It's not comfortable for them and they get grouchy...
