Hi, fellow farmers! I'm a third-generation farmer following in the footsteps of my father and grandfather. My grandfather was a quail farmer, but not my dad. Now that I've inherited the family farm, however, I'm interested in backer-establishing quail on the farm. Right now, it's a 200-acre farm...
So, I'm like 90% sure my chicken, Rocky, has bumblefoot. Her feet are very swollen on the pads, and have a blackish circle on each of them. Anyway, I was wondering what the most non-invasive treatment was for that. Like, is there any way to treat it, except by draining the pus? Thanks...
3 year old hen acting lethargic and poops very little, but when she does, it is really green and watery, and sticks to her vent feathers. She also has a swollen abdomen, and feels a little warmer than the other birds, but not by a lot. I have been thinking it's vent gleet, and have been...
So, my chicken has been acting pretty miserable (as I said in my last post), and, she's had very malodorous, green diarrhea stuck around her vent, so today I gave her a second bath (the first one was three days ago), but this time I flushed her cloaca out very carefully with saline solution and...
Symptoms-
-Greenish poop stuck to vent feathers
-Diarrhea-like consistency
-Poop smells very bad
-She is pretty warm to the touch (compared to the other chicken that I checked)
-Her breast bones are more prominent (it seems like she might be losing weight)
-Even though she is very sweet, and...
About 3 days ago, she pooped a big green and yellow diarrhea poop that has been stuck all over her vent feathers. She has also been acting lethargic, but we just thought that was because of the heat. The poop was still stuck on her vent area today, so I gave her a bath and flushed her vent...
Also, she has a slightly pale comb and wattles, but that could just be from old age. She's not very lethargic, just a little less perky than usual, so we thought it might just be the heat, but then we noticed the green diarrhea around her vent... The only things I can think of that might be...
Hello! I am doing a performance, and for one of the parts, I am a Native American orphan at her parent's grave. I am in charge of the set, so I was wondering if they even had graves, and if they did not, what did they have, and if they did, how to make a cheap, realistic looking grave prop...
Hello! I am going to be in an acting competition, and for part of my costume, I need to dress like a stereotypical historian. What would that look like? I was thinking glasses and an old book, maybe? Thanks!

Hello, I need to do a project on chickens during the columbian exchange. I have to write a monologue from the perspective of a native american. Any help, resources, and knowledge would be truly appreciated.
I am doing a research project, and the theme is exploration. It is very broad, and you can do anything within that topic. I was wondering if anyone could help me find a topic that fit that theme, and had to do with chickens. Thanks!
