sore

Hey everyone. So, I noticed my chicks hopping on one leg about a week in a half ago. Upon inspection I didn't notice any sores or cuts, just some swelling. I brought inside so she could be separated from the other chicks because they were trampling her. The following day it was even more swollen...

I am brand new to chicken, but I have raised a duck flock for the last two years. I love them and decided to try chickens. I just received 31 new chicks. They are one week old. I did lose 2 on Monday, as much as I tried, so I am down to 29. Most of mine I received mail order from Murray...

So my white rock started limping about a week ago just a little bit and I noticed a small place of missing skin on her foot. As of 2 days ago, she stopped walking 95% and hasn't moved around much but have been keeping a close eye on her with food, water, and checking on her cut. As of today, the...

Hello I need help identifying what in the world this site is? Ring worm? Botfly? Fungus? Cellulitis? Something else? PLEASE HELP!!! This is 1 of 2 turkens we hatched put of 9 and they are all loved!

Hi everyone, I just got two ducklings 3 days ago and one of my ducklings has a hard sore on the belly area, which I believe where it’s sexual organs are. I know that ducks don’t display anything on the outside of their body. Can someone please help me in identifying what this is and if I should...

Hi everyone. I have a 6day old chick who has a limp, she rests a lot, she still eats and drinks and can move around but is obviously in discomfort. I checked her leg and she is swollen at the joint :( how can I help her? I have isolated her but she gets sad, I have one other chick who is calmer...

I think I need to quarantine one of my Silkies due to a head sore that won’t get better. Do chickens get depressed when they have to be separated from the group? And if so, how long is too long?

One of my Silkies had what it looked like to be a wart on her cheek. I didn’t keep tabs on it thinking it would go away on its own. But lately it’s gotten worse and it hasn’t seemed to have gotten better. I will not take her to the vet, but every day I’ve been cleaning it with soap and water...

Found little Peep this morning with somewhat of a sore under his beak? Otherwise seems totally fine/normal. Should I separate her from the others? It’s hard/dried so there’s no active bleeding. I can’t tell if any of them have been picking on her. She has no other spots/sores on her. Any...

My Buff Orphington, Lucy, has this strange sore on the side of her waddle.. it looks like an abscess.. Does anyone know if chickens can get cueterebra (fly larvae) ?? Im not sure how to treat this, so please any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all, over the last few days we have noticed a red, eczema style sore develop a couple of centimeters south of the vent on one of our hens. I have attached a picture. Despite how it looks it's fairly dry and scaly. She is a large, black Australorpe. She is also quite heavy. She's very skittish...

I have 4, 2 month old ayam cemani. One of them was lying down and didn't try to get away when I went to pick her up. Looking her over I found she limped on left leg. I assessed the leg and found a very small scab on her thigh and there is a small air bubble by it. She drinks and eats but lays...

This chicken has been scratching its eye off and on for several days. I mainly only notice it when it is in the roost. It would also shake its head then too. Again only in the coop/roost, when in the run area seemed fine. It is eating and drinking good. But a few days ago I noticed a scab under...

What do you think. Seems to be spreading.

Hello Peeps, I noticed this sore on my EE Scarlett's comb. It appears that it's healing but I wanted to run it by chicken pros. Some of the other hens have a small black spot here and there, which look like little peck wounds. This one looks sort of peely. I've also uploaded a pic of Elizabeth...
