Frasier is an almost 4 month Cayuga.
Today I noticed him standing on one foot two separate times. So we caught him and took some pictures.

I finally did it: I created an article on how to wrap chicken feet. I consider myself a little bit of an expert because I’ve been dealing with an ungodly amount of bumblefoot in the flock lately. *sigh*

HELP!
Today when I was cleaning the brooder I noticed that 3 of my chickens had black 'callus' looking spots on the bottoms of their feet. As seen in the picture, one even has A tiny spot on the tip of her fingernail.. The chickens are acting normal, not getting picked on and do not show any...
