Yes, you can. I actually have one with bumblefoot right now and she is still laying; we are eating her eggs. Edit: I see NatJ posted a helpful reply on medication. I agree :) You should definitely check the bottoms of her feet for swelling and a brown/black scab. I once had a chicken with...

Okay, thank you for the advice. :]

Thanks so much for the advice. Yes, they’re wonderful 😁

Salutations! I bought six chicks at a hatchery/barn and they are now almost 6 weeks old. We were supposed to get 3 Crested Cream Legbars and 3 Easter Eggers, all female. However, I am now having trouble identifying both breed and gender. I believe #1, #2, and #4 are Legbars and the others are...

She does, yes. I think more like 6 pounds. If I did the treatment incorrectly should I start over or continue, but with the right dose? I didn't take a photo, but I might be able to. Not sure if they're still out there. I don't think it's lash material, as it was really small and more of a...

I'm using Safeguard, 0.25-0.5 mL orally for 3 days. The chunks are a mix of firm white and brown inside. I thought about it and I'm not sure what she's been eating, I think just normal food, sunflower seeds, and fresh water, as well as whatever she's getting from foraging-- tiny rocks, bugs...

Oh, I looove that design. Great job!

4 square feet per bird is good and 2 square feet for bantams. If they have consistent time to free range, you need slightly less space in the coop.

I have used pine or aspen shavings for 6-ish years with success. I also recommend against cedar shavings. I've heard sand is a great alternative to wood shavings. Straw can harbor parasites and get soggy, so I'd recommend against that as well. Good luck finding bedding for your chickens! :)

Welcome to BYC. Always love to see a new face around here! Hope you enjoy this wonderful community.

I will check the other birds' vents. Thank you. I didn't notice any wounds on the dead bird's vent area, but I did notice a lot of dried poop collected around the vent.
