Hey, a friend of mine teaches and the school where she works hatched some chicks for educational purposes but the chicks now need a new home. I was offered them. Wondering what breed? My first thought was maybe light brahma but idk. Thoughts? Sorry for the poor quality picture it’s all I got

Yes ok great thank you! Yep I’m changing it daily as well as soaking and reapplying iodine. I have her in a dry crate in my garage since the run is so muddy 😖 I will try the sugardine thank you so much!

Thank you for the input! Right, for sure I had tweezers and pulled out as much as possible but its wide open now and it’s like seriously securely attacked I’ve gotten ahold of the yellow stuff and it like won’t budge. I’ll for sure get some prid thanks!

Ok so it was farther back than I thought. The first day I found the pus pocket was March 21 and I found it and started treatment again April 30- today May 3. First three pictures are from back in March, I cleaned and wrapped for a few days and she was fine after that. Fourth and fifth picture...

I’ve dealt with bumblefoot many times before but we are back with another case. This hen had a pus pocket on the top of her foot, it squeezed out like a pimple and I cleaned and wrapped it and after a few times of that it looked pretty much good (it was flat and no longer had an infected look...

Do you have a flock at risk of catching what these birds have? I would say just give them back and seriously disinfect everything

I have a Rouen duck that isn’t acting right tonight, walking slow, not super spunky. Usually she is very hard to catch and she was easy to scoop up tonight. No signs of physical injuries, doesn’t feel egg bound. I brought her up in a small kennel to monitor close by (in my garage) and she’s now...

@TudyBOT do chickens like red grapes or white grapes more

Very nice birds!

All the birds are grown and healthy now!

I had pizza. Yep it was one of those days lol. A family member broke her foot, and I got in late from feeding and mucking stalls and the coop. None of us felt like making a mess so we ordered pizza and salad from the local mom m pop pizza place, it’s REAL pizza too

Hmmm kinda hard to tell from picturs but it almost looks like a tick? Probably way too small though. Are there bugs when you part the feathers and look at the skin in different places on his body? Do you have any other birds? Does he swim often?
