Hi my 8 month old pullet, Dory (also known as bluebell) is gone broody, I don't want chicks this year but probably next year, is there I higher chance she'll go broody next year? It's unusual because she's a hybrid and the breeder said they don't go broody!

I have this special oil spray that I put on her legs, would lime for cattle barns be ok? She's much better today but if it happens again I'll know what to do. Thanks

So I was out with my chickens and I noticed bluebell walking strange when she walks she wobbles and flaps her wings she's drinking water and eating I can't see anything on her foot but she does have scaly leg mite can that cause it? I'm really worried

Wow I saw it too but it wasn't as bright! :)

Thanks, I might try incubate her eggs just in case there is a chance.

Opal trying to impress the ladies, they aren't amused! Poor Opal this years not your year for romance maybe next year!

Hi, my 2 yearling peafowl, Opal and Appollo spread their train every day, then they run at my 2 year old Sweetpea but they don't run at my yearling Poppy and they make a weird sound running at her and try to grab her, I know that yearlings can't breed but is there a chance they can? Thanks

Today she wasn't gasping as much, none of those symptoms except her comb is a bit darker. She came out of the coop but is quite sluggish. How do u send videos? Thanks

Hi, my 4 year old light sussex x Snuggles has trouble breathing. On Sunday she was very bad but yesterday she was better, I locked them in for the night and she's sitting in the nestbox, I gave her, her favourite treat sweetcorn and she slowly ate a bit. I think it could be too late :(

Hi, first off welcome to BYC, I have peafowl but haven't bred them yet so I haven't come across problems like this, what do you feed them so we can find out what happened. I'll tag some experience peafowl keepers now @KsKingBee @casportpony

She keeps moving as she's quite nervy, I looked up a pic on Google and this looks exactly the same as my pullets toe. Slightly less bent

Hi, I got 7 pullets today, 1 seems to have a broken toe I think, it's sticking out a bit sideways and she winces a small bit when I touch it. She's walking kind of normal limping slightly. Can it heal on its own?

They are very good escapees
