    Multiple chickens displaying symptoms

    Thank you I’ll definitely look into this. I’ll still start giving them a multivitamin just in case that is it but I’ve been struggling to find anyone to look at my chickens. So far everyone I’ve called says they no longer see chickens and then directs me to someone else who upon calling also no...

    Multiple chickens displaying symptoms

    Yes my chickens are outside most of the day and go inside on their own once the sun sets. However since summer is starting in AZ I have had to put sun shades up to mitigate the heat to the ground and heat stress they might get. I’ve been trying to eliminate strong direct sunlight in the summer...

    Multiple chickens displaying symptoms

    I am feeding nutrina starter feed. Unfortunately I don’t know where to get her tested since I can’t find any avian vets that take chickens or any farm vets in the area. The feed was purchased in the last month and has been kept in and airtight container still in the bag so it doesn’t contact the...

    Multiple chickens displaying symptoms

    I’m just going to address these one by one. The neck does not seem to be affected. They do freak out when I try to grab them to help so they spaz out a bit but outside of that once they calm down nothing looks unusual. The chicken that’s had it for a week and a half is able to hold her neck and...

    Multiple chickens displaying symptoms

    About week and a half ago I had a chicken that seemingly could kick its legs at me but was unable to hold its weight and stand. She kept hobbling and falling forward. I assumed it could be a sprain since it seemed like one leg was worse and isolated her to keep her from hurting it more...

    Chicken sprained leg?

    Thank you. I’m really hoping that the increase in activity, preening, and foraging is a good sign she will be up and walking again. This is the first time I’ve had to deal with anything with my chickens besides pasty butt as babies. Here is her in a makeshift sling I made to give her a break...

    Chicken sprained leg?

    Yes I have a separate crate outside for her to be in during the day so she doesn’t get depressed. This group is very close knit so after the first two days I’ve been taking her out every day and having her sleep inside at night since she can’t keep up with the others. They haven’t treated her...

    Chicken sprained leg?

    It’s been a week since I’ve found one of my chickens unable to put weight on one of her legs. When I did so I immediately brought her in. Since then she had some swelling in the leg and her foot that has all gone away except in her hock joint. I am assuming it is a sprain but would love some...

    Swollen leg with blisters

    The blisters seemed to appear after the leg was wrapped. Originally I wrapped it to try to add stability and then decided to bring her in for the night as the others were accidentally walking on her. However I unwrapped it right before the bath, which was the next morning, so I’m unsure if it...

    Swollen leg with blisters

    As the day as gone on I want to add that the blisters on the bottom of her foot have gone down more and the ones on the top have drained as well. I put her in a separate kennel inside the run as she was starting to get depressed being away from the others and she’s perked up even more and tried...

    Swollen leg with blisters

    Thank you I don’t think I’d thought of what if she had been bit because I didn’t see any ants on her. That could make sense since all the blisters seem to be in soft tissue areas and not on her scales. Here are some pictures of her leg and foot today after I just took the bandage off her foot...

    Swollen leg with blisters

    That day I had noticed some ants that I took care of but I could not tell if they were fire ants or not.

    Swollen leg with blisters

    Hi, I will for sure post pictures of her feet in the morning sorry I didn’t think to take any. I don’t want to wake her up and startle her. This is what the living situation looks like for both groups of my chickens they are identical set ups. 6 chickens per area as I didn’t want to mix such...

    Swollen leg with blisters

    I noticed one of my girls having an issue with one of her legs so I separated her from the others thinking it was a potential sprain. I looked at and felt her entire leg and both didn’t see any wounds and didn’t feel anything broken. She didn’t react at all to me inspecting it. One day into...
