Hello everyone. I noticed this morning that my hens feet were looking bright red compared to their usual pale pink/white. I thought maybe it was due to it being cold since it was 32° this morning, but I’m not sure. I’ve done a bit of research and read it could be mites or maybe due to the cold...
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. I had a 4 month old chick die from the cold weather and it had been outside for 2 days. The feet are still flexible. Can I remove them and clean them/wash them up and give to dogs to chew? Or should it be tossed? Thanks so very much for any help!!
I really need help don't know what to do next, thinking amputation but the vet is not available. If anybody knows a way to go about this please help. I've made more posts about my rooster with more information, but not much help as far as medical treatment for his foot. Here are the most recent...
Hello, I have had chickens for 7 years now and am having my first chicken foot issues. My 2yr old EE (Nugget) had what appeared to be the start of a bumble. I removed the black dot after an epsom salt bath, but then noticed that her pad on the same foot seemed hard, slightly misshapen and...
I've encountered a number of people, online and IRL, who find the idea of eating chicken feet disgusting -- both on the level of squeamish emotion, because while most chicken parts cut up don't much resemble a living chicken but feet always look like FEET -- and because they believe that chicken...
I got 6 new layers in April. I would say 3 were robust, but lots of green and vitamins and extra protein seemed to help them all. Anyways, we've had a few issues, that are sorted, mostly poopy vents and lice that came with a vengeance in the spring, first time for that beauty. But today, I...
6 month old, legbar mix rooster. I check my chickens feet every couple weeks for bumble and I keep their coop very clean. I just checked this guys feet a week ago and didn’t notice anything.
Today saw a slight limp and checked his feet. The skin/scales on the end of his little toe are rock...
Our beloved Gold Laced Wyandotte hen, Goldie, was limping around the other day. My wife picked her up, and I immediately noticed Goldie's right foot was very swollen. It was a clear sign of bumblefoot. Our flock is only a bit over a year old, and we haven't ran into many health problems. We...
Hi guys,
I got a beautiful little sebright about two weeks ago and noticed that her middle nail upturned middle nail on her left foot.
The skin on the bottom of that toe also looks to be wearing (I guess because she has no nail there to protect it).
Is this a serious issue? I’ve never seen...
Hi all,
I went to a local auction hosted by a poultry club today and came home with a pair of white bantam Cochins. The hen is great - super cute, healthy, etc.
The rooster, I’m not sure what to think. His feet are all strange and what look like to be deformed. Please take a look at the...
Hiya! I'm excited to announce that my dear silkie hen Malf has successfully hatched four beautiful chicks. The father is a young Chabo (Japanese Bantam) roo we call Solaire. The little crosses all appear healthy and happy, but I had a question. The first three eggs all hatched right on time, all...
