My 2 month old Australorp got her foot sucked under a wood beam of a chicken tractor yesterday when I was moving it and most of the leg is slightly swollen. I can't see any broken bone but she can't walk at all. She either flops around using her wing to balance or jumps on one foot to eat and...
Help, please!
We got 3 Chocolate Orp pullets (and one chocolate-laced Wyandotte) from a breeder a week ago.
They're in isolation now and seem happy and healthy, except for a swollen ear on one of the Orps.
Yesterday, I noticed that "Georgia" has a huge swelling around her left ear.
The...
We had a chicken who seemed quite ill and we decided it was best to put her down. Apon dissection to investigate the cause, she was full of yellow liquid. Maybe 500ml worth. We did note that she was oddly heavy. Can anyone explain what happened? Our other two chickens are normal and healthy...
We bought chicks of various breeds around Easter.
Problem:
One's eye was shut, and swollen all around it (6-7 days ago now). We thought it was pecked or something, as there were no other signs we noticed wrong with it (eats, drinks, moves around fine, good balance, very active when washing out...
We noticed one of our roosters were hiding, Sami. So i went over to see what happened, i was shocked when i saw he had dry blood all over him, a huge wound on the back of his neck, and his face had swelled. I thought it he and the head rooster (Squirt) got into a big fight. But when i noticed...
Hi!
New chick mom here, hoping for some suggestions and guidance! As a preface, I did my best to research these topics before posting, in an effort not to waste anyone's time or duplicate something already addressed, but I apologize if I fail at that!
Here's my problem: I have a week old buff...
She’s about a year old Amberlink and I wasn’t home yesterday so my boyfriend fed her. My little brother mentioned seeing a snake nearish to the pen and when I went to feed her today her neck and neck flaps are swollen and her eggs are missing. I think it’s a snake bite but I don’t know how to...
I noticed one of the legs looked swollen on a chick but he isn't walking any different or acting like it's painful at all. The swelling isn't something I've seen before, but it looks like it is every joint on his right leg.
Any idea what caused this and how can I help?
This is my chicken Vanilla’s feet, after a long while of doing research I’m thinking it’s gout, can anyone confirm that or is it something else? She’s almost 2 years old. There’s also a few small sores on the top of her feet, noting at all on the bottoms.
I have a chick who has one spraddle leg. I tried to correct it first using a rubber band and a straw, then using self-adhesive wrap. The chick is now about a week old, it's leg doesn't seem to be getting any closer to normal, and the leg (or rather the joint) looks like it is swelling up. I'm...
My Turkey was injured by something. He tongue went through the bottom of her soft pallet. Had to sow her up but her tongue died. She's running a fever and really not acting herself. I'm really worried that she's going to die. What can I do for her. She is an awesome mom and she is a pet. Please...
I have an approximately 5 month old Bantam hen who is clearly sick. She has been very lethargic and slow for the last two weeks. It wasn't until three days ago I noticed one side of her nose is swollen. She keeps her eyes closed most of the day, and barely eats or drinks. Today she hasn't eaten...
Hi everyone, my rooster has a very badly swollen toe and we're not sure if it's bumblefoot or if it's broken. Here are some pictures (we soaked his foot in epsom salt and water with a little tea tree oil, we did pull off a scab on his other toe and have put ointments and have wrapped it but we...
I have a chicken about 3 and a half or 4 months old who has had an interesting past few days. One day she seemed rather distant from the other chickens [my sister reports me this, I was unfortunatly gone] and the next day when I saw her, she was sitting in the corner of the fenced in area we...
I have a 4 month old Pekin that must have gotten cut on some barbed wire, yesterday. She has a good size gash on her upper leg, where it meets her body. My main concern is that her foot started swelling with blood. Is this normal for a leg injury? I've treated the area and she is in a kennel but...
