    Lame chicken not bumblefoot

    Hello. My 1 year old isa brown is limping. Her left leg is not holding her weight. The “toes” splay out and she walks like she has foot drop (a condition in humans with spine issues). I palpated the leg and foot to see if I could feel something unusual. She has no apparent injury to the leg and...

    String in feces

    Hello, my 20 month old Australorp hen has a pale string in her 2 most recent poops. I posted two pictures. She is otherwise eating, drinking and alert. The string is the consistency of a partially cooked thin spaghetti strand. Is this something she ate or is a worm of some sort?

    Hen humming on breath in and breath out

    This morning, Ruby's crop is flat and she continues to be asymptomatic except for the stridor. When she sits quietly on the roost, the stridor is often non-existent and/or less intense. She is eating and drinking and defecating normally. I observed her throat once again this morning. No hairs...

    I looked into her throat. I couldn't take a picture although I tried. I saw nothing that appeared to be an obstruction. We are going to bed now and will see how she is doing in rhe morning.
