Hello, fellow chicken enthusiasts! Today, I’m reaching out for some cluck-tastic advice on a little chick that arrived in less-than-ideal condition. After receiving my first order from Murray McMurray for our new homestead, I found one poor girl crammed in a corner of the shipping box, with a swollen, painful leg and an unusual gait.

Having a background as a vet tech, I’m open to splinting or other solutions, but I’m feeling a bit lost. If anyone has theories or suggestions, I’d love to hear them!

Hello, fellow chicken lovers! Today I found myself in a bit of a cluck-tastrophe with one of my 11-month-old hens. While cleaning the run, I noticed her vent area looking inflamed and a tad squishy, which initially made me think the other hens were up to some fowl play. She's been acting totally normal—eating, drinking, and even laying eggs—so I’m scratching my head about the reddish bum and the mysterious yolk on the eggs in the nesting box. Is this a case of Vent Gleet or something else entirely? I’ve already given her a warm Epsom salt bath and separated her for now. What’s the best course of action moving forward?
