    Broken wing, shoulder joint. Amputate?

    Also, usually they know to stay out of the dog run if the dogs are out lol. The dogs are basically 100% trustworthy around chickens when they're loose and I'm around, this is a pretty freak occurrence

    Broken wing, shoulder joint. Amputate?

    Greetings all, One of my young pullets was either stepped on or (more likely) attacked by a dog. If they wander into the fenced dog run they're fair game so I expect this is dog inflicted. Anyway, the break seems to be on the upper humerus/shoulder joint-not sure if there's a particular name...

    Do you have any documented cases where this will help a chicken with an already distended abdomen without draining?

    They’re also used to getting let out 3-4 times a week so I also think he’s pretty grumpy about having so stay in while I’m gone. Hopefully he’ll get used to it a little more too.

    Rooster aggressive to care helper

    Thank you all for all the replies. I think the tennis racket is a great idea and we’ll try that. It’s a big walk in coop area and in the corner there is an 8’x4’ brooder room with wire on the sides and I might just keep him in that while I’m away on trips if he doesn’t get better and figure out...

    Rooster aggressive to care helper

    Hi all! My mottled Houdan roo Shamu has a guess been being pretty aggressive around my friend who has been watching them while I’m out of town. I’ve never had a problem with him. He’s super gentle with my hens and respects me and will eat out of my hands even. He’s a super great boy most of the...

    Chicken with swollen "knee" - limping

    Did her leg ever heal? I am asking because my BLRW has had the same issue for almost 2 months now and I feel like I've tried everything except a vet, which I am seriously considering now.

    Pullet with swollen joint; limping

    Hi all. I made a similar post a while back about this same bird but I wanted to make another to see if anyone else would chime in. I have a 4 month old BLRW pullet whose hock (knee?) joint is swollen and she limps around on it. I did Aspirin in her water for 3-4 days about a month ago but that...

    Swollen hock on 3 month old pullet

    I had her in a kennel in the coop for a while but I ended up just letting her out a couple days ago because she needed exercise and she was pretty sad

    Swollen hock on 3 month old pullet

    Not yet... she still eats and drinks and gets around fine and it’s a little less swollen, but not fully better. I actually just ordered her aspirin after researching how to dose it in their water.
