    Wellsummer walking funny, not laying

    My 1 1/2 yo Wellsummer hasn’t been laying for around a week, and yesterday when I let the chickens out I noticed she was waddling funny. I checked and she’s not egg-bound but that whole area looks red and inflamed. Any ideas?

    Chicken has a problem on skin

    Hi everyone! Today I was out with the girls and found that one has this pimple like thing on her skin. I tried cleaning the area with hydrogen peroxide and it did bubble meaning there was an infection. Has anyone ever experienced this? Thank you for all your help.
