    Chicken having trouble walking and eating

    She's been in here for over two weeks now, and while at least her condition's steady, it doesn't seem to be improving. She's been eating and drinking, although still a bit less than seems ideal. Although she's still spending most of the time in the box, I try and take her out when I can, either...

    Chicken having trouble walking and eating

    In early June we brought inside a chicken with trouble walking, it looked like scaly leg mites. She was recovering mobility quickly but one day her health decreased very rapidly and she passed away. Our best guess was an internal injury caused by one of her falls, though we really aren't sure...

    Chicken having trouble walking and eating

    None of her toes are missing or visibly unnaturally deformed. Assuming you're looking at the furthest back toe on her right foot, the camera seems to have made it look worse than it is in person. (Note she's got polydactyly, which in our flock at least always seems to result in a stubby-looking...

    Chicken having trouble walking and eating

    A few days ago, we noticed one of our chickens with a bit of a limp. The source seeming to be a minor injury, we washed and bandaged it. The next day, her condition had gotten much worse and she couldn't stand upright. We've had her inside since then and the issue doesn't seem to be going away...

    Feathers covering eyes?

    Thank you! I was a bit concerned about cutting the feathers under the eye since all of the tutorials I'd found had just focused on the feathers above.

    Feathers covering eyes?

    The other day we noticed one of our hens, Valentine, seemed to be having some minor vision troubles. We gave her a look and it doesn't seem like there's a problem with the eyes themselves, and she can focus well, so we're wondering if this might be the result of her facial feathers. How likely...

    Silkie Eye Trouble

    There is a Silkie chicken in my flock called Loongu. She's beginning to get old, I think she's at least 6-7 years. (She's the chicken in my profile picture) Recently, when I picked her up, I noticed that one of her eyes had gone cloudy, and was a milky white. She didn't seem to be able to see...

    Chickens Having Issues Bending Leg

    1. Posting photos of both hen's feet might be hard. We buried Georgette yesterday. 2. Hendini hasn't suffered any swelling. 3. We've had some new babies, but no chickens bought or given. 4. Georgette was laying eggs through winter, I believe Hendini wasn't. 5. We did recently get feed from a...

    Chickens Having Issues Bending Leg

    We've been keeping Georgette inside, giving her some painkiller. I got some video of Hendini having issues walking, has anybody seen this before?

    Chickens Having Issues Bending Leg

    Well, I now think it's likely just a coincidence that these problems happened at the same time, Hendini just hurt her leg somehow, but Georgette is plain and simply dying. She's been a pretty good hen in the time we've had her, but we think we might need to put her down. :( Thanks for all the...

    Chickens Having Issues Bending Leg

    Hendini has feathered feet, the porch fence is wood, fence has flat tops, they're outside, and we live in Australia so it's getting pretty warm.

    Chickens Having Issues Bending Leg

    About 4 years old, and they very determinedly love to perch on our porch fence. The younger one is a little under a year old. Also, the older one is an Isa Brown/Silkie mix, and the younger is Isa Brown/Silkie/Araucana.

    Chicken growing white tipped feathers

    I've got a Silkie who grew a few white-tipped feathers quite a while ago, it doesn't seem to cause or be related to any health problems.

    Chickens Having Issues Bending Leg

    I have quite a large flock of chickens, and for a while now (~2 weeks) one of our older hens (Georgette) has been having trouble bending one of her legs, and it's causing her a lot of trouble moving. We first thought that she'd simply sprained her leg, and it should heal after a while, but...
