Thanks for helping with my birdies! It's so nice of you to keep coming back and checking on them! 🤗 I will treat it like it is bumble foot. I checked her foot on Friday and it looked like the swelling had gone down some. It's still pretty bad but at least it's better than it was! I'm gonna...

~ Update ~ I think my little Brie had a horrible reaction to NU Stock on her foot! Brie's feet have slowly been improving since I started treating her about a month ago. I was using Prid and Durvet Epsom Salt Poultice interchangeably. I have worked so hard to help her feet. It was moving along...

~ Update ~ I think I have figured out how Brynn got cut. A scab had formed over her cut. When it fell off, I examined it. I believe I found some wood fiber inside of the scab. I went back and looked at the images I took. Sure enough, I think there is a small piece of a twig or branch that she...

Thanks so much for checking up on them, Tookie! They are doing about the same right now as they were a week ago. Thankfully they don't limp or show any signs of discomfort. I think Debbi's feet might be looking a little bit better (Granted, the lighting is a little different.) That's...

Hello! I am new to keeping chickens and only have ever had one rooster. He is a Speckled Sussex too! I thought it might be helpful if I shared a photo of him for comparison. This is him at 9 weeks.

I'm so sorry! I know it feels absolutely horrible to lose a chicken that you have worked so hard to take care of. 🥺 I'm sure you did everything you could to take good care of her. 🤗

I'm so sorry to hear that, @tlcmurphy! My heart actually hurt for you when I read this post. It must be so hard to lose her. 🥺 You were so kind to us a while back when I had an egg-bound hen. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have gotten all the advice and help that blessed us so much. I wanted...

I have three Salmon Faverolles (named Brie, Mari, and Debbi) with what I think is bumble foot. None of the other breeds have this. They are 10 months old and in good health aside for the feet. I noticed it first about 1 month ago. We did a ton of research and tried to remove the bumblefoot from...

I'm so sorry to hear about the eggs! I sure hope all the ones left do really well! 🤗

That's so exciting you are a first-time chicken keeper too! They are a lot of work, but they are such sweet little creatures. ☺️ So far, I haven't actually seen any lice/mites. If we did have any, they seem to have gone away when we applied Permethrin several times. I'm so thankful for that...

Thank you so much for the advice, MamaPoult! It helps me to know it's not too severe! I don't have Vetericyn, but I have something similar I can use! Thanks again! I agree, she is so pretty! I love Speckled Sussex. ☺️ P.S. I think she laid an egg today too! So that helps me not be as afraid as...

I have a Speckled Sussex hen, named Brynn, that is almost 10 months old. She weighs 5 lbs. 11.5 oz. About two months ago she began to lose feathers on her bum (my other SS also lost her bum feathers). Those feathers haven't grown back yet. I made a post when the problem originally happened and...

That is absolutely gorgeous! It looks like a galaxy full of a myriad of stars!

Thank you! I actually took a glass of water out to drip on the leaves before photographing. 😂
