    Help! My chicken is limping and in pain

    Ok good, I will keep an eye on her to see if it shows up. Will check her again this arvo - she is resting now and I worry about upsetting her cos she tries to resist and surely this puts pressure on the sore leg :( she is eating fine, which is good. Hopefully she gets better soon :( should I...

    Help! My chicken is limping and in pain

    Yeah I’ve seen that article about bumble foot, but they look very extreme! I don’t think it’s that, but I suppose could be early stages. Hopefully she just hurt herself jumping down from her perch in the coop, or was knocked off it and fell wrong. I don’t know how old she is, she is a rescue. I...

    Help! My chicken is limping and in pain

    I have put her in her crate back down at the coop. She was miserable and frightened away from everyone, hiding and not drinking. Soon as I put her crate down in the coop she started eating a lot. I can’t get photos of her feet without upsetting her a lot. Took like 20 minutes to get her to let...

    Help! My chicken is limping and in pain

    It’s a bad photo sorry, she’s not particularly friendly. She’s a rescue, and I’m just trying to make her life better this time round.

    Help! My chicken is limping and in pain

    She’s resting at the moment. I have a video of her limping but it won’t let me upload. Would be obvious if it was Bumblefoot hey? She didn’t lay an egg yesterday either, so I think she might be unhappy :( will try the aspirin, thanks. Anything else I can do to help her? Was I right to isolate...

    Help! My chicken is limping and in pain

    It won’t let me upload. No she isn’t dragging or holding it up, just trying to walk on it. Was thinking might keep her in a crate for a day to minimise movement?

    Help! My chicken is limping and in pain

    Hi when I went down to the coop this morning one of my hens was limping. When I checked on her again later that arvo I feel like it is worse not better. I checked over her feet, no abnormalities, but limping on her right foot. Tiny tiny blemish between her toes. No swelling. I have isolated her...

    silkie rooster and hen acting funny - mating?

    Hi guys so I came down to check on the chickens and noticed my rooster and a hen acting funny. They are guarding a corner of the run - or so it seems to me. The roo is a juvenile, and the hen hasn’t layed before, though she is due to start judging by her age. Both are around 6 months. The...

    Silkie rooster not crowing yet at 7 months old?

    hi guys, I have a silkie rooster (definite rooster judging from behaviour and appearance) but he hasn’t started crowing yet. He is 7 months approximately and the only rooster in a flock of 8 hens. We live in suburbia but with a large backyard so we are anxious to see if/how loud he crows and if...

    Has anyone successfully kept a rooster in suburbia?

    Hey guys I have a silkie rooster - hasn’t started crowing yet, but definitely a rooster. Well, he’s my favourite, but council requires 5,000 square meters for a rooster. I have plenty of room - he has over 800 square meters of backyard to wander. But my question is, is there a way to keep him...
