foot deformity

I posted this in Peafowl too but I forgot to add the tags, so I'm posting it here as well. About 30 minutes ago I hatched a single peachick (long story). I believe he was shrink-wrapped, I had to assist him in hatching after about a day and a half, but he's out now. The humidity during his...

Hello! We recently started raising chicks. The first batch is a happy, healthy group of four, still super friendly and cuddly at 12 weeks old. The second batch is a group of nine and although they seem to be thriving so far, I have a few concerns. Firstly, the Spitzhauben chick seems to be...

Looking for ideas 💡… This is Donald. We got him in September with four other ducklings from Tractor Supply. Since being young he’s had a left leg issue. He seems not able to hold his foot spread out to walk so he stumbles and trips often. He’s getting larger so it’s more problematic. Going to...

This is Morticia Addams. She's around 3 weeks old. Starting yesterday she has a noticeable limp, today becoming almost completely lame in that leg. Upon further inspection I noticed a large knot on the top of her foot, and when I photographed it, I see that either her foot is malformed or...

I know this has been discussed, but we have a 10 day old call ducking that came to us with a curled up foot. We’re treating the foot with brewers yeast and using band aides and either cardboard or corn pads to tape the foot open. Unfortunately the foot as turned inward (so it’s up and in) at the...

It was hard to take a photo of it, but this little guy's feet have always looked a bit weird to me. He was doing fine up until this week, when he started walking funny with his wings out touching the ground sometimes to balance. We noticed a small cut on one of his toes too, possibly from...

My rooster has what looks like a swelling at his ankle area? He did get himself up into the rafters of our new coop in the summer. But it seems this thickening came on in the fall. I’ve read about bumble foot - is it possible to get that on this part of the leg/foot? He walks on it - roosts on...

I was watching my chickens free range yesterday when I noticed that my production red was curling up one of her feet as she walked. I went to see what was wrong and saw that she has an extremely swollen toe. It is really bulbous and the toe and claw are both bent sideways. Does anyone know...

We are fostering a pair of ducklings. One has a foot that is folded back at the ankle. Any ideas on how to splint it?

I have a 4 week old buff orpington that has an issue with one of its toes. There seems to be either a growth or a foreign object constricting blood flow to its toe. I noticed this a couple of weeks ago and it appears to be getting worse. There’s nothing I can recall that would have influenced...

Anyone know what this could be? This hen is just over a year old. She is still acting normal but we noticed she is limping. We just had to put our other silkie hen down (they were hatched together- we got them from the same breeder) because she could no longer stand/walk and was in severe pain...

My 5 year old rooster had bumblefoot years ago and pneumonia in 2015, and made it through those, though he was left with a sneeze. I moved him to the Florida panhandle and over the past several weeks I noticed his legs/ feet seem swollen and red, but it's always kind of looked like that. Then...
