    How do you heal leg injuries?

    I haven’t seen any swelling or bruising, nothing that would indicate Bumblefoot. I’ll try tomorrow to get a closer look at them but they don’t have any high roosts or any higher structures to fall or stumble off of. The turken will use her bum leg but definitely favors it. The other one holds it...

    How do you heal leg injuries?

    I have a couple of chickens that are limpy at the moment. A less than a year old turken has been favoring one leg and limping for months now but can get around and eats and drinks normal. Two days ago I came home from work and one of the other less than a year old chicks is now favoring one leg...

    Looking for answers/advice about 20 week old turken

    We’ve added supplements to their food, the turken seems to have nothing changed but now another one of our girls has a leg injury. She lays down most of the day, and when she tries to move around she limps and seems to overcompensate walking on one foot. They are both eating and drinking normal...

    Looking for answers/advice about 20 week old turken

    Hey y’all! One of our turkens seems to walk funny, like she over exaggerates her steps and seems off balance sometimes, she also sits weird and her tail is pretty much always down. Everything else she does is normal. Her sister turken and the rest of the hens are healthy and normal. Anyone have...

    URGENT!! Disoriented hen/acts like she can’t see/won’t move or stand/

    I was able to give her some Nutri-drench, she still cannot stand and seems to be blind. She doesn’t react to any movement, just sound. We noticed on the belly that her feathers are scarce and it looks like she has a bruise of some sort but hasn’t had any trauma happen to her so I’m not sure what...

    URGENT!! Disoriented hen/acts like she can’t see/won’t move or stand/

    Update: this morning Goldie was still laying down, and now she is having a very hard time trying to get up and walk. We will be trying to get her to eat and get some sort of fluids in her. Any advice on what to give her to help or how to go about getting food and fluids in her would be extremely...

    URGENT!! Disoriented hen/acts like she can’t see/won’t move or stand/

    She has just been sitting in the roosting house while the other chickens go about their day doesn’t really make noise at all just sits there, that’s what she has done all day today.

    URGENT!! Disoriented hen/acts like she can’t see/won’t move or stand/

    Thanks, I will. I believe she has stopped laying but I can’t be 100% sure, the last month before this weeks cold snap has been so hot and humid here we haven’t gotten much eggs from any of our four layers. Thankfully I’ll be home all day tomorrow and will be able to tend to her and keep an eye...

    URGENT!! Disoriented hen/acts like she can’t see/won’t move or stand/

    Ok, I have also tried to give her some food, applesauce and scrambled eggs, but she acts like she doesn’t see it and is not interested. She didn’t react at all when I stuck her beak in the applesauce

    URGENT!! Disoriented hen/acts like she can’t see/won’t move or stand/

    We’re in Louisiana, it’s been a little chilly the last few days but she’s been through the “cold snap” here before. She’s our oldest chicken, I believe about 4 and the only one acting odd. I don’t think I felt any hard or swollen areas on her but I honestly have no idea what I’m feeling for or...

    URGENT!! Disoriented hen/acts like she can’t see/won’t move or stand/

    One of our hens has been acting weird for the last two days. She’s about 4 and we noticed yesterday when we let the flock out to free roam that she just stood in one area and looked like she was puffed up. She also has been having very runny poo almost like water. Today she has just been laying...
