Hi My Backyard peeps!!!!
I have awesome chickens and I use fake Turf as their nesting material has been easy to wash and very durable but lately I've seen and smelled them so I might want to change them. We started out with straw and things of that sort and it didn't work out I'm thinking of...
I just wanted to share how I'm trying to avoid any more of my chickens getting bumblefoot. Apparently 16 of my chickens got bumblefoot because of the height of the roost (which of all lowered already) but they didn't like any of the stairs (all failed)

12 of my chickens currently have what I think is bumblefoot all of their roost are fine they do free range most of the day and there's no metal or sharp things in my yard I don't know why they got it all at the same time beginning bumblefoot.
Does anyone have any advice or reason why so many got...

Just wanted to share in case anyone else gets purple looking eggs and don't be nervous about it.
This is a 13-week-old surprise chick we are so confused on what breed it is....does anyone have a guess?
She is small compared to the rest of the flock and kind of docile.
She has really dark black legs and really dark face and black crest and completely black body.
I hope everyone had a blessed...
So my mother got a surprise check and we always thought it was a black star but none of the other black stars her and I own have such black legs and a black crest and two days old she was all black no white.

So my mom has a 10-week-old cream leg bar that started crowing. I think that is way too early and has anyone had a boy cream leg bar crow at 10 weeks CrowingLegbar
