We have a chicken that had the scab for bumble foot. When we soaked, the scab came off and nothing else. I need to lance the area because I'm not getting anything with the tweezers and foot is swollen. Should I cut around the opening in a circle? Cut through with one swipe? Or cut to make...

duck may be blind. her eye has a small light blue shine in it. anyway she just has low vision? any suggestions on what i could do?

I'm trying to find a remedy for my chicken. She is coughing and spitting up mucous. I got her Vet RX which I had rubbed on her tonight.. it's kind of like the vapor rub that humans use. I was doing additional research and found this on another chicken forum: When chickens are down with...

Since my rooster died, I will still look into the cracked corn and add grit for the other chickens. Thanks for your help though.

He just died. This morning he also sneezed and shook his head. This happened once and then about an hour and half later he did the same thing.

I'll get pictures of his feet. We feed chickens a bag of pellets that has 16% layer feed. We don't give much corn as we know it's just a snack type thing. but the corn is whole. Chickens also free range every day. I'll check one of my chickens in a few hours then to see what the crop feels...

I noticed one night while putting up the chickens, my rooster would kind of jolt his head. Almost like he was burping or something like that. I didn't think much of it and he did it a couple of nights later and then I never saw him do it again. He's been really quiet. One day he only crowed...

I need some ideas. My chicken was hit by a car a week ago. He has one leg that he will not put weight on. When I lay him down, he sits up straight with the good foot tucked under, but the bad leg just lies out behind him. His foot on his bad leg will grip my finger but he won't keep it...

really anything getting into the road can cause an accident. someone not wanting to hit an object or animal could over correct, go off road and smash into a tree.

This is definitely an eye opener for me. After we moved we got chickens and goats. I didn't know it mattered about chickens and goats. I remember when we bought this house they asked if we had horses or dogs and that was it. But in the future I do aim to own a horse (not at this house...

I went ahead and let our insurance agent know. He responded with Great. Thanks. hopefully that means that's the end of the questions and everything is all clear!

Right. we were able to keep a decent amount of chickens last year. we didn't lose any to a predator but this year a fox has taken several out. Now i'm hesitant to butcher the new chickens since the fox might take out more of the other chickens.

I haven't responded yet, but I feel as though I have a lot of animals. But I truly do feel that 8 goats is sufficient and the number of chickens we have. Anyone else have 8 goats? lol. 3 of them are babies..which we decided to keep so we can rotate breeding better in the future. I guess...

Thanks everyone. I feel as though what I'm reporting is a lot of animals. Thanks for letting me know. We were thinking of bees in the future. I had no idea that a home owners insurance would be in all that. I just thought depending what you are selling or doing you would need...

I live in rural. it's okay with our city/county laws.

That's what I'm thinking is if I'm selling. That is crazy about the AIDs. That's the other thing is how many animals. We have a lot so I'm just wondering if we say we are eatting this for ourselves they might not believe us? We have given eggs to family but have taken no money.

Rural. County wise I can have all these animals. I'm guessing they want to know if I'm running a business?

We recently switched home owners insurance. They did an inspection and want to know how many goats and chickens we have and what their purpose is for. We have 8 goats (three are babies) and and probably about 40 chickens (15 are preteen chickens). We use our chickens and goats for eggs and...

I agree with eggcessive put electrolyte into her water. My rooster was attacked by fox and he was lethargic and wouldn't drink or eat anything. I bought rooster booster electrolyte for him and he drank it up after that.
