    Need advice - hens avoiding feed while free ranging

    Yes - refreshed and cleaned the containers. We did have an issue with some moldy feed a while back but we are all set now.

    Need advice - hens avoiding feed while free ranging

    Good morning! We need some advice - our 5 year old Wyandotte hens are reluctant to eat our feed (Mile Four layer feed, available all day and we even provide fermented feed in the AM to them) and are preferring to free range the backyard for their meals, and I am worried it may be causing health...

    Calcium deposit? Strange bump

    Hi all - I am reposting hoping to get some fresh eyes on my hen. On Saturday, we noticed my 2 year old Wyandotte had developed a large bump or swelling on the side and back of her foot. I checked thoroughly for Bumblefoot and have seen no indications of it. The bump is hard and the back toe...

    Please help so confused!

    Also here to see if there are any updates - my hen has the same kind of foot issue with a large bump.

    Swollen side of foot - toe injury?

    Update on Dolly - she still has the significant bump on her “ankle” and daily Epsom salt soaks don’t seem to have given us any progress (5 days of soaks). Her comb remains bright and she is peppy and happy - no change to her affect or appetite at all. From tummy up, you couldn’t tell anything...

    Swollen side of foot - toe injury?

    I have Vetericyn on hand, is that similar to betadine? (Thank you for the help - this is my first injury in our flock!)

    Swollen side of foot - toe injury?

    Here is the back of her foot this morning. Foot pad is clean and free of swelling, you can see how the swelling wraps up from the big toe. I’m concerned about the top of the toe scales - they seem darker and the tissue surrounding seems dark. Is this an injury that has caused swelling? I...

    Swollen side of foot - toe injury?

    Checked on her at bedtime, and I’m now concerned it’s a foot injury/infection. Now that the foot is clean from the soak, it’s apparent that the scales on the top of her back toe are darker than the surrounding scales and the swelling is radiating up and around from the toe. I’m going to kennel...

    Swollen side of foot - toe injury?

    Swelling is hard, no cuts or scabs on bottom of foot pad (I was looking for Bumblefoot). She is not limiting her activity - she’s jumping off rocks, standing on it independently (picks up the non injured foot and stands on the swollen one), running through the yard after the flock. Thank you for...

    Swollen side of foot - toe injury?

    Note - the back toe had a dirt clod on it in the picture, that’s not an injury.

    Swollen side of foot - toe injury?

    Hi all! My apologies for not having better close ups of the possible injury. I have a 2 year old Wyandotte hen who suddenly has a swollen side of her foot. It seems to be stemming from the area of her back toe and wrapping around the side. The swelling is firm and not exceptionally hot. I...
