I believe my chicken has frostbite, I saw her limping today. I soaked it in warm water with a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes. I put Neosporin on it and covered it with a sock so she doesn't pick at it. Is there anything else I should
Hello. If you can keep her indoors, that would be best. You could also start her on an antibiotic made for poultry available at your feed coop. Other than that, make sure she eats & drinks, & if the foot gets worse or does not seem to be healing, please consider having her seen by your veterinarian. This can cause your hen quite a bit of pain & she may need medication to help. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My chick's droppings are reddish brown
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco. In order to help, a little more information may allow us to guide you better. How old is the chicken? What is she eating? What is her environment? Is she inside or outside? The coloration of stool can change depending on what the bird is eating or sometimes due to parasites or illness. This website might give you a little bit more info https://the-chicken-chick.com/whats-scoop-on-chicken-poop-digestive/ But please feel free to repost your question, with a little more information on how long this is been going on, if the Bird is acting normally and eating well, and possibly some pictures of the chicken and her stool.

Since Cash is a small dog, you might consider one of the more expensive options such as a dehydrated or fresh food diet. They are able to control their ingredients much more easily than a large manufacturing plant does that makes dry food. I have been very pleased with The Honest Kitchen ( https://www.thehonestkitchen.com/ ) and Just Food For Dogs ( https://www.justfoodfordogs.com/ ). Both have foods that will not have chicken and both have options without any poultry. You do not have to worry about the potential addition of chicken fat which a number of dry food companies do as well. If those are not good options for Cash, then you may consider a canned food which again will generally be safer than a dry food at making sure there isn't any chicken contamination. I have been pleased with Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets ( https://www.naturalbalanceinc.com/ ), but be sure to read the labels carefully. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and gives you some ideas. Thanks fo

My chicken looks lethargic and keeps curling her head under. I notices a few days ago that she would just sit in the coop, unlike the rest of my chicken. Today I got her some water, she eagerly had some and then threw up. She won't have any food eith
Hi and thanks for your post. I would separate her from other hens if you have any and put her in a warm, clean and quiet area where she can rest. Offer small amounts of feed and water frequently. You may to phone your veterinarian if she doesn't improve in the next day or two -she may need antibiotics. Thank you for using Boop by Petco and best wishes to you and Ginger.

There are mice that live in our chicken house is that ok? Will the mouse droppings hurt them? Another thing is one of the chickens has like no feathers is this normal?
It would be best to discourage mice being in the coop as much as possible, either by setting traps or making sure the grain fed to the chickens is hung out of reach and all grain-bins are closed. While they may not transmit much or anything to your hens, the droppings can transmit diseases to the humans cleaning the coop if not properly handled. Chickens should have feathers. It is possible your hen is molting (losing feathers while new ones grow in) which is normal and happens yearly for most chickens, and you will see pin (or short pin-like) feathers signaling new feathers regrowing. If your chicken is not regrowing the feathers or is being picked on, it may indicate an issue such as being bullied, parasites, illness, etc and should be checked out by a vet.
