can't walk

I have a roughly 3/12 or 4 year old hen who has suddenly stopped moving. Two days ago I found her stumbling around in her coop while the others were roosting for the night, looking around as if she couldn't see well and walking into walls and stumbling. Yesterday she acted fine. This morning I...

Hello. It’s my first time raising chicks. One of them developed splay leg but by the time I realized it she was already very weak from not eating enough. I hand fed her for couple days until she regained some strength and put a splint on her but she is still not walking very much. She can stand...

Hi all. So this pekin isn't mine, but stays in the stall with my fostered orphan goose. They've been together since my goose was still a gosling because she had a bad staff infection and had to be separated from her flock back in I believe April or the very beginning of the summer. They get...

Hello everyone, finally decided to join this community! Turns out my 2 y.o. female duck can't walk after my heavy drake overbred her. This happened about a week ago, we found her inside their swimming pool, barely moving. Took her out and both have been separated since then. She had some...

My 1 year old hen has became ill all of a suddena and can't walk and gets seizures all the time and jumping in pain what medicine should I give him NOW

My 2 year old Rhode Island Red rooster has suddenly fallen incredibly ill. Just four days ago I noticed he was laying beside the coop, a behavior I believed was okay seeing as he would still get up and move, it just seemed as if he was slightly lethargic. Overtime his conditioned worsened, even...

Two days ago, my adult female coturnix quail stopped being able to walk. She just keeps falling over onto her side and kicking her legs in circles on the ground. I’m not sure what’s going on- what can cause this? She hasn’t laid an egg in two or three days. I thought maybe she was egg bound...

I have 3 baby chick's one isn't doing so well. She's an ameraucana. On Thursday night I noticed she wasn't moving I removed her from her shared brooder. I gave her raw yellow yolk until I could get her some electolytes and vitamin supplements. I started her on the supplements Friday morning. She...

Asking for assistance from any experienced duck owners please. We have 4 mallards (one imprinted adult) and one white call duck, who have been with us for 5 years, so we have some experience and knowledge - though never enough. This is a new one for me. Hatched 8 weeks ago, our Gabby (by...

My poor Red, my 5 month old Welsummer cockerel, is really in a bad way right now. :( A week ago today I moved him into his own pen because he had been limping for a few days and wasn’t getting better, started limping worse/holding a leg up, etc. and so I thought being in a smaller coop with no...

Hi guys, this is my Rooster, Bung. I'll explain the issue and then give you insight on Bung's general health. Today I noticed that Bung's mainly putting weight on the backs of his feet while walking. Or like he's putting a lot of weight back on his hocks. It looks like all of his toes are...

I can't remember exactly how old the chick is but I'm certain its at least a month and a half. Chick is using wings to try and balance itself, sleeps on side where right leg joint is. It looks like it's having trouble using that leg. I don't think it's spraddle leg, but I could be wrong. I've...

Hi everyone, i have a 4 month old khaki Campbell that can't walk. Last month she started having trouble walking with her right side. Thought it might have been a Niacin Deficiency and gave her a few mg more of vitamins. It helped a little to where she can kind of stand on it but not long. She...

Before I get started I'd like to spoil the ending here because if you've found this post you're probably a Mama (or Papa) in the middle of a freak out just like I was. My 5 week old girl Lil Peep has made a full recovery this morning, she is up and walking like nothing happened, eating and...

She wasn't injured! i had her by herself in a coop and noticed her balance was poor she's still has appetite and everythings ok except she can't walk. Please don't tell me to cull her i can't

One of my newly hatched chicks can't stand or open their eyes. I thought they were just premature and needed time to develop but it's been about a day since hatch and no improvement and I realized that they can't move their feet at all. I can manually move her feet and toes just fine, there...

Help if you can! See pics I have a Buff Orp who has a foot that started swelling with these bumps that have grown over the past 2 months and will not go away and the poor girl can hardly use her foot. They are hard too and when they got off to a good start in the beginning I tried lancing the...

Hi all, I have a 1 yr-old Barred Rock hen that has been acting like a bit of a loner lately, free-ranging away from the rest of the flock, but she was eating and drinking so I didn't worry too much. Then when I got out of work last night I noticed she was bedded down at the base of an oak way...

Hi, I have been given a couple pullets with problems. The lady made her own feed mix, Austrian peas and barley, and I don't know what else. Would this be sufficient? One has wry neck and the other can't walk and is still fairly emaciated after two weeks. She eats well enough, we have commercial...

Around a week ago now, I went to put my geese in for the night and noticed something...off. They spend all day in their 1 acre outdoor enclosure with the chickens and ducks, and go in their own separate coop at night. Anyway, when I went to get my geese, I noticed my female was laying down on...
