I’m not sure what breed he is because I got him at rural king, but when I bought him I didn’t notice all the extra fingers. Will he be fine when he grows up? I’ve heard of breeds with an extra toe but he has two extra toes in one foot and an extra one in the other.
I was checking up on my chickens today and saw that one of them had a nail falling off and bleeding. The base is still there, but the upper part is kinda hanging. She is bleeding a lot, what do I do?
I currently have straw for my coop floor but I’ve been wanting to go back to pine shavings. I used to buy the pine shavings from tractor supply, but it didn’t go well because my chickens were getting it stuck in their feet and getting bumble foot. I have no idea how, but it’s probably due to how...
My hens all got o sleep at around 8 (when the sun comes down where I’m at) but this one hen is always in the coop and sleeping at around 7. Does this mean anything bad or does she just enjoy her sleep? Aside from this, she eats and drinks perfectly fine. Always walking around and running even...
I was putting my chickens to sleep today when I noticed that two of them had bloody beaks and one had a bloody crest. I went and separated the one with the bloody crest and brought her inside my house. How can I treat the wound properly? I have a lot of antibiotic creams but nothing chicken related.
I have a 9 month old Americana chicken, she is white. It’s been really muddy lately and she has started to become yellow. What type of shampoos can I use to bathe her? I have Guinea pig shampoo that I could use but if that isn’t safe for her what else can I use?
I have 26 hens and 1 rooster, two of my hens are 2 years old and the rest are about 1 year old. The rooster is also 1 year old.One of the 2 year old ones is extremely dominant, as a matter of fact I think I saw her stepping on a another hen once to show her dominance. The rooster hasn’t been too...
My chicken is around 5 or 6 months old. She is a very sweet one and I really love her, while I was checking up on her today I noticed that her beak was a bit off. It’s crooked, is there a fix if it’s harmful to her? If not, do I have to do stuff in order for it to not get worse? It’s just...
My hen got bumble foot a few days ago, I treated both feet, one of them is cured now, but the other one just got worse. I did everything I was told, remove the pus, salt bath, etc. That helped the other foot out, but one of the feet didn’t get better. Instead it got purple. Asked an old lady I...
My chicken was fine yesterday and I didn’t notice anything wrong but when I went to the coop today to let them free I noticed that one of my hens wasn’t moving. Then I saw that her feet had a big ball sticking out between her toes. It seems like an infection but I don’t know how to help her...
This chicken is being bullied by the older ones. Which has caused some problems with her eating. She is extremely skinny and lethargic, but apart from that she won’t stop shaking her head. What could this mean? She also doesn’t lay down no matter what, she has been sleeping standing up. I have...

If I have Covid, can my baby chicks get it too? We have a batch around 5 weeks old and another batch around 1 week old. I currently have covid-19, if I take care of them can they also get sick?
I need help, one of my baby chicks is missing its back toe. What can I do? Is it going to survive? I can provide photo if necessary. The chick was born this way. I just somehow didn’t notice until now, it is about 1 week old ish? Maybe less.
I have 13 pullets and I feed them natures wise starter grower, medicated. Yesterday one of my pullets had eaten so much that it’s pouch was almost at its beak when standing. I sadly don’t have pictures of it right now. The pullet is still alive. But that begs the question, can baby chicks over...
This baby chick is a crested polish. I am unsure what is happening but the chick is chirping really loudly as if it was fine but it can’t move, it’s legs are really numb. What can I do?
