Last Monday my frizzle, Cha Cha was attacked by a hawk. Got out there just in time to scoop her up before the hawk flew away with her. Thought she was a goner. Brought her inside to my chicken infirmary for a couple days. Upon inspection, saw that one of her eyes were swollen shut and the other...

I didn’t notice anything like that. Bubbles were from the bleach spray I sprayed in the sink. Thanks for the info. I uploaded the video on YouTube but can’t figure out how to link it.

I thought maggots were white?

I have no idea. I have a video but can’t figure out how to post it.

One of my older BR had been less active for the past week. I just figured she was getting older. Today found her in the coop barely able to walk. I picked her up and expected to her to have lost weight but she almost felt heavier than normal. Thought maybe she was egg bound. Noticed her backside...

So we’re on day 4 now. I’ve kept her in her “hospital” bed and since Tuesday. She seemed slightly better so I took her outside yesterday and she hobbled over to the coop and laid an egg. I let her sleep with the rest of the Girlz last night. She barely made it outside this am and just sat down...

Ha! She JUST laid an egg even in her temp carrier home! Such a little champ!

I think it’s just the photo. I edited it bc the first pic was pretty dark. I’ve inspected it several times since and I don’t see any broken skin or blood. But I was thinking about giving her a good old soak in Epsom salts anyway.

I kept her in a cat carrier last night and she’s still limping this morning. I as thinking about keeping her “contained” for a couple days to see if maybe she gets some relief. 🤷‍♀️

She has been laying and I think her last lay was a couple days ago. I’m wondering if she just sprained or pulled something. I have her in a crate tonight so she doesn’t have to jump up on the roost.

Today I noticed Lovie was limping. The last couple days I’ve spotted her sitting down more than normal and it seems she lost a little weight. Her right leg is somewhat hot but I don’t see anything stuck in her foot etc. I’m wondering if it might be scaly mites?

I just purchased some new girlz and noticed on of my black sex links has a bump on her “ankle”. She limps alittle, holds that foot up and sits on her haunches sometimes. I’m wondering if the lump might be part of the problem. The pics don’t really represent the actual size. To me, it’s a little...

I'm going to see if I can get a video of her walking. No swelling anywhere. She's about 4 yrs old. She laid an egg last week sometime. Everything else seems normal. When I go out to the coop with treats, she can move pretty quick But other than that she doesn't venture too far.

I'm going to snap a pic in the next couple days of her feet and nails. They're mostly white I think.

For the last couple weeks one of my Girlz has been sitting down a lot. I've done all the usual inspections. She's eating well, comb is bright, eyes are clear, same weight, feathers are all so beautiful and clean. The only thing I noticed was her nails are super long. I don't remember them being...
