    new hatchling won't stay upright

    Same! This is my little guy, and it's been 24 hours. I have flipped him over 10 + times.

    Eyes sealed shut & not eating or drinking - day 2!

    UPDATE: 2 STEPS FORWARD, 1 STEP BACK This little hen was doing so well that I released her to be with the rest of the flock yesterday. But this morning, she was still on the roosting bar and one of her eyes was back to being shut. Ugh! She had been doing so well! She hasn't had an eye shut...

    Limp Leg! Broken? Dislocated? Bumblefoot?

    UPDATE: NOT BUMBLEFOOT - TEAR INJURY I took the rooster to a chiropractor. His leg is dislocated from his hip joint and won't stay in. The muscle/tendon/ligament that is supposed to hold his leg in that joint is torn, so his leg just can't stay in place. :( I haven't been able to find any...

    Limp Leg! Broken? Dislocated? Bumblefoot?

    I have some more photos in the original post that show the black spots/scales better (one isn't showing up in the thumbnail but is there in the post). The spots are on both legs and are new within the last 2 weeks. He's 2-4 years old (got him from a friend a while back). No other issues on...

    Limp Leg! Broken? Dislocated? Bumblefoot?

    He was using his bad leg/foot to balance, but now he mostly sits down. Or he stands with it barely touching the floor. I soaked him in epsom salts for 15 minutes this morning, & when I set him down, this was how he looked (see pic). He seems to have very little control over that leg. The vet...

    Dark Spots on Otherwise Healthy Chicken's Legs

    Hello - can I ask for an update? Does your chicken still have spotted legs, or did the spots go away with caster oil?

    Barred rock stopped walking

    Have you looked at articles on Bumblefoot yet? Check out symptoms and see if she has the spots on her feet.

    Limp Leg! Broken? Dislocated? Bumblefoot?

    About a week ago, Roosta-Roo started limping. :( The vet who saw him on Monday thought it was his leg instead of his foot. She suggested keeping his movement limited & that he should heal on his own in about a week. (He's no better and maybe a little worse & we're on Day 7.) He does look like...

    Bumblefoot Question in Rooster

    Yep. But it's not swollen or red, so do I need to wait to work on it?
