Just to clarify none of my ladies have laid for a week. Which has been normal this year. I did check before making this to see if she was egg bound. Checked this morning and she had a full Corp, but it was filled with water and it was clear. She was regurgitating right when I was going to take...
I've been fighting this thing for a month and a half. Been putting Vaseline everyday except once a week when I use cooking oil on their legs. I just started doing the hydrogen provide since my chicken is being very lethargic.
She was only going into the run once or twice a day, I personally...
Hello my BYC peers. I've had chickens for 3 years now and I never tried raising baby chicks during late spring early summer weather.

That's fine, thank you. Maple is usually very vocal if she's hurting, but she has been acting normal. This chicken would limp to me with little chirps to tell me she has a thorn in her foot. I'll give her a bumblefoot treatment and I'll update you if it works or not. Very much appreciate the...
