Update: I decided to get her a check up at the vet. It’s starting to get really hot and I don’t want her to be getting too stressed

Okay thank you! I’m hoping she starts to molt soon maybe that could help her too.

They are four. They eat all flock feed crumbles. I have two bowls in the run that contains the feed. I’ll trim her butt feathers tomorrow and cut her nails soon. Is there anything else I can help her?

I have a PR who has been getting crooked toes. She’s had a bald butt for a while and I always though it was from the poop build up but instead of new feathers she sometimes gets bumps like a pimple but they get big like almost a grape size. They dissapear after a little bit and she’s always been...

Thank you. Her other foot is fine and I have another PR who’s feet are normal she’s never had a curved toe so I thought it was werid. She just turned 4 a week ago. Her feed routine is normal. I would say they eat a lot. Her butt feathers are trying to grow in. She’s got a bald butt right now...

My PR has a curved toe. I noticed it this morning. I know I have to cut their nails bc they are getting to long and starting to curl. Could that be the problem? Her nail on that toe isn’t too long. She’s walking fine, eating and drinking like normal. I touched it and she didn’t have a problem...

Yes they have oyster shell but barely pick at it. They live egg shells though so I sometimes provide them there own shells! In winter thought they don’t lay eggs so they have to use the oyster shell. I’ll sometimes mix a punch full into their food if I feel like they need to eat some.

I haven’t noticed any lice or mites and try my best to check at night on the roost. They all are just getting back from molting. I don’t think she is being feather pecked, she would be the one pecking others feathers but she does clean her self a lot back there from the weight of the poop. I try...

My PR has always had trouble growing feathers on her behind. I think it’s from poop getting matted and then feathers fall out. Today I saw bumps on her skin. She’s had them before but they usually go away. Are they just feathers growing in? Other than that she eats and drinks and walks just fine.

This morning I believe it stopped bleeding. It’s still a mess but he will usally clean it up by himself with digging and all that. After this is healed I’m going to cut the other spur.

He would lose his mind if I wrapped his leg! But yes I’m going to monitor it. And I’m not sure if it’s still bleeding he went to bed but I’ll check in the morning. He will be fine right? Will it get infected? I believe I have providone iodine. Could I clean it with this more tomrrow? It’s...

My roosters spurs have been getting very ling and have been bugging him when he’s trying to roost. I was going to cut them but yesterday the one spur like half of it broke off but it was the putter layer and I figured I’d let him be until today to cut it when I got home. I got home to find his...

The ground in the run is just dirt so she just lays around a lot

I’ve never had an issue with their nails until today. Her one nail is super long and twisted. They’ve been pretty bored mostly laying around and dust bathing since it’s hot and not much they want to do. Can I use dog clippers to cut it?

Thank you. I have noticed certain hens are loosing many feathers.
