EE (3.5 years old)
Lays consistantly. Eats, drinks, runs, dustbathes, jumps, is perfectly energetic.
She has always had pretty long toenails but I thought that was just because of her genetics. (she has an extra toe)
Her comb isn't very bright despite her laying. It is a little dry looking...
My chicken broke the tip of her beak, no blood and no cracks. She’s acting fine but not eating because it hurts. When giving blueberries I noticed it because whenever she touched the blueberry she would open her beak like she was hurt . How do I help her?
It seems to be the outer layer of her...
Thank you. It did seem to soften the scab I ran out of time and had to something else. So it didn’t come off yet because I didn’t apply the hot towel for long enough.
I’ll try tomorrow again.
Also, do you think it’s ok that I gave her a painkiller (meloxicam) previously prescribed from the...

She is a heavy bird so I would assume that’s why. Her body weight pulls her down. She only has to jump up onto a roost, she walks down a ladder to get to bed.
I have all of the stuff from last time so I will repeat the process.
Hi all. My cochin had bad bumblefoot on both feet a month or two ago. It almost completely went away, the skin had healed. But then now she has two large scabs again on both feet!!! It feels like i can peel them off but they are hard. Does she have bumblefoot again??
Should I take off the...
Thanks. She actually did not poop at all tonight and her crop did not empty. She seems energetic and not lethargic, and she ate this morning. I’m going to give her coconut oil and massage her crop.
Thanks. I put a probiotic with digestive aid in their water. I’m hoping it’s only because she stopped eating as much.
She has not been pooping very often too. In the roost I do not see any poop on the camera. Do you think she could be constipated, or is that unlikely?
