    Hen's swollen foot

    I see, thank you for letting me know. I kind of don't want to isolate her as she is the female lead. I notice that once the female lead isn't there for a while, the rest of the flock starts to figure out how who will be the leader next.

    Hen's swollen foot

    If it were to be a sprain, how would I treat it? This is actually the second time this has happened to her, she isn't very young so I am guessing she hurt herself. I believe she is 4 years, maybe 5.

    How to treat an swollen face of a chicken?

    They aren't really roaming as I am trying to integrate them to my flock they are in a play pen inside the chicken coop so that the flock can see the new girls. They are a bit crowded but I plan to take them out in 2-3 days. I feed them with 16% layer feed. And yes they have shade all day. If it...

    Help! Tongue stuck in the throat of a baby chick

    I don't think they attempted a cursory necropsy. The lady didn't mention anything like that. She claims that she wasn't able to do anything thing to her because she passed shortly. I did notice she had this blue stain on her beak. It's like if she gave her something blue that stained her beak. I...

    Help! Tongue stuck in the throat of a baby chick

    Yes, it is one of the strangest thing I have ever seen in a baby chick. Then her tongue is probably twisted. I took her to a local Sparrow rescue, I called and to my surprise they said that they can help. So, I dropped her off there. I haven't been updated with what is happening to her. I just...

    Help! Tongue stuck in the throat of a baby chick

    I am unsure if it is an abscess. For the bump I don't know because I took her to a wildlife rescue center. I called several local wildlife rescue centers and one of them accepted the challenge. They took my baby chick, I don't know how she is doing but I am going to contact them soon to see if...

    Yes, that is what @alinas2010 told me but I checked and no I don't see a string or a strand of hair. I believe that she twisted her tongue somehow

    Help! Tongue stuck in the throat of a baby chick

    I have the mash ready just I am unsure if I should give it to her. I checked again and I don't see a single strand of hair or anything like that. I believe her tongue is twisted. I can see the tip of the tongue and the end of the tongue but I don't know if her tongue is covering the esophagus...
