Has anyone had issues with their free range chickens when it comes to grass stickers/burrs/goat heads? I live in Texas and every yard has some sort of sticker down here. I haven’t allowed my chickens out their run yet because I’m concerned that they’ll get hurt walking in the grass. Has anyone...

Hi guys, this is my Rooster, Bung. I'll explain the issue and then give you insight on Bung's general health.
Today I noticed that Bung's mainly putting weight on the backs of his feet while walking. Or like he's putting a lot of weight back on his hocks. It looks like all of his toes are...

About a week ago, right after temperatures plummeted from 70 to 40 F (Halloween T-Storm), I saw my oldest Orpington's feet turn red on the sides and fleshy parts. They weren't red before. She also has a raised bump in-between two of her toes, one on each foot. The one on her left foot has had a...
We have been keeping quail for just short of a year. They live on the ground with a board to prevent rats and “easy chick” bedding. Some time ago, early July we noticed one of the smallest quail (we only have 6) had a swollen foot. By mid-July we were worried enough, because she limps a lot, to...

We have a year old Maran hen who started walking funny a few weeks ago (picks her left foot up in front of her really far as if she has something stuck on her foot she is trying to shake off) and we can't seem to figure out the cause.
We've looked at the foot and one of the pads on her toe is...
