injured bird

Rough day. My 1 month old partridge Silkie drown and my 1 month old Ameraucana has a pretty bad wing injury. Please help, I can’t lose them both. I have six ducks and two chickens. The chickens are the oldest at a month, the ducklings are two weeks. Anyway, at night we keep them in the coop and...

A couple weeks ago I discovered that a hen had blood on her neck... haven't a clue how it happened. After a close inspection I saw two sacs seemingly protruding from the skin on her neck ( one on the back and one on the side) At first, I thought it was a super swollen tick....but then...

Our male got mauled his left eye looked ripped out :barnie:th:( at first but then after closer examination, I saw his eye lid, so his eye must still be there.😌 his head droops most of the time but I saw him preen, and he can raise his head on his own... if he wants to... he has. He was a little...

Friday, I found my young hen with her head stuck in the fence on the outside. She had a huge cut on her side, maybe three inches of skin missing and muscle with a large cut in it. Her head was swollen, too. For the first few hours she slept and didn’t raise her head. I washed out her cut with...

I moved my 7-8 week old pullets outside about a week ago, and woke up this morning to a sad scene. The wire (1” x 2”) in one corner was pulled free of the staples and looked as if it had been pushed back from the inside. There was a gap roughly big enough for a basketball to be pushed through. I...

This happened a few minutes ago, after letting them swim for a while it seemed too cold so I tried taking them back to the crate where I keep them. She suddenly started running and tripped, thankfully the floor didn't touch the neck but she fell on one of her paws. There's no blood, twists or...

Please help me help her. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My Easter egger puller just started laying and now I come out to this! Pictures provided. She is eating and alert and can still fly, but just wants to be held.

Hi y’all, I’m new to raising my own chickens without my fathers help. Yesterday one of my hens (she’s about a year old) was attacked by my puppy who is 11 weeks old. He’s a playful little fella so I don’t think he meant to almost kill her. Anyways she’s really hurt, the skin on the back of her...

Last night before locking my flock up (they free range during the day and put themselves up at night i just lock the door) my pup decided to go after one. I have her in the house nice, warm and comfy in a tote. She's been drinking water all day. I have given electrolytes and found some remedies...

Hello, I have four female ducks, two khaki campbells and two cherry valleys. A few months ago one of the cherry, Pebble was limping so I took her to the vet. They said it was probably something internal but they could not be sure until they had run more tests which would be very expensive and...

so today after school i went outside to free range the gals for an hour. we had a run-in with a hawk a while ago so we supervise them each time we free range them for now by the way. anyways, there were no issues or anything out of the ordinary, so you could imagine the shock when i went back...

I did a little chicken rearranging and everything was seeming fine. yesterday morning was day three of giving all my Roosters hens and pullets. I had maintained a cockerel pen with just three boys since late spring. I gave both my roosters separate pens and a group of 4 hens and 4 pullets that...

Hello, everyone! I am new to raising ducks and I have a question... I am sorry this is so long, but here it goes: I have 8 "ducklings" that are 11 weeks old - all hatched together. One of them got her leg/ankle hurt a little over a week ago. We kept her isolated in a crate inside the duck run...

So, I'm a college student and this previous week was the first week of the fall semester. I didn't check in on my chickens yesterday because I had work until 5 and then went to the library to study. I didn't think much of it, my chickens had plenty of food and water, and it wasn't a big deal...

I came in last night from being out of town and the first thing I did when I got home was go out to see my sweeties. My flock of 10 girls are 5 months old and have just started to lay. Nine of my 10 girls were fine but my little red had an injury. I took these pictures this morning and I am...

Hi all, I have a four month old Pekin/Mallard mix who has suddenly started limping. I've checked the foot and leg twice now and I know it's not Bumblefoot, there's no injury in sight but the ankle feels a bit swollen compared to the other leg/ankle. I can touch it and it doesn't bother him, he...

a little less than a week ago, my buff orpington, kung pao, was attacked by a raccoon at 1 AM. her eye was swollen shut and she had a small wound on her neck and under her wing. all of these wounds are doing very well. she’s opening her eye on her own and it isn’t crusty anymore. now for the...

I woke up this morning to my rooster pretty banged up but only on his head and comb. His eyes are shut from the shock I presume. I have given him water and electrolytes and cared for the wounds what would do damage like this only to his head area?? He is in a coop and run and only with 2 hens...

I have 13 chickens - 5 established, year old Barred Rock hens who are very chill, and 7 chickens who are about 12 weeks old (2 easter egger hens, 2 faverolle hens, 3 black australorp hens, and 1 black australorp rooster). About a month ago, when I first tried integrating my new chickens with the...

Hi everyone, This morning I’ve discovered a fairly deep cut on the side of one of my chickens neck/ head, on the other side of her head it’s just skin in the area but it’s quite a deep cut on this side.. she’s the bottom of the pecking order as she’s a bit wobbly on her feet and can’t quite get...
