It could have been the rice. None of the chicks have symptoms? If not or you've done a strict quarantine (i.e. shower and change clothes between new and old birds) you probably don't have to worry about a contagious disease from the chicks.
Corid only treats coccidiosis which is usually not a...
I give one 3000mg capsule twice a day, morning and night. But you can also give two 1200mg capsules twice a day. This is the brand I use: https://www.amazon.com/Nutricost-Cherry-Extract-3000mg-Capsules/dp/B07TD6KJS3/
When it is dark out go out to the coop with a headlamp and take her off the...
Could be gout or possibly a mycoplasma synoviae infection. Are her hock joints swollen as well? I doubt bandaging her feet will help. Soaking may provide some relief from the pain.

Update: I gave all my brown egg layers one calcium+D3 tablet and haven't had a broken egg since. We did get a fairy egg though and I assume it's from the problem hen. I still can't tell who it is, but at least the problem has been resolved for now.
Thanks @Debbie292d ! It wasn't a big deal...
The green usually means they're not eating enough. The yellow could mean an infection. By the looks of how her feathers came in she's not been well for a while. Do you have antibiotics on hand? Let's see what others have to say. @azygous @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock
The best times to feel their crops is in the late evenings and early mornings when it's dark enough that they're on the roosts. If you go out with a headlamp or flashlight they still can't see enough to get away from you. I do this almost daily. In the evenings the crop should be full and in...
Was she on the chick starter through molt? Is she eating and drinking now? How does her crop feel? What does her poop look like?
One of my Silver-laced Wyandottes had a similar thing happen. She didn't survive.
Oh dear...I would be so irritated. It's actually against our town ordinance to allow dogs to bark for more than 15 minutes. I'm so glad the foster who took in Luna trained her to stop barking on command.
Well, I don't think she'd be good at anything, but I think agility would be the most fun for her. I did find a club that holds rally events and classes but they are about an hour away. Maybe I'll do that with my next dog... 🙂
One of my hens has been laying thin-shelled eggs for a week or so. I am finding a fragile or broken egg in the nesting box every day now. They get 17% layer feed and free choice crushed oyster shell, but they are on pasture now so not eating as much of the feed. I'd like to help her out by...
