    Help- wondering if air sac injury?

    Thank you! Today it looks a little smaller, and it's not taut, there is some elasticity to it. Since she's acting fine, eating, and running around- just going to continue to monitor for now. Thank you!

    Help- wondering if air sac injury?

    One of our 4 week old chicks had a tiny puncture wound under her wing 2 days ago. She rested in the house for a few hours, and had been back with mama since then, running around like normal. Today I was checking the site, and she has a pocket of air under the skin. She's in no distress...

    Bumblefoot pics

    Yes, I meant PRID :) thank you. I'm just concerned that big scab didn't have anything underneath but pink tissue, so I didn't dig. I have neosporin on it and prid and will resoak tonight to check the progress.

    Bumblefoot pics

    Hello, About a week ago I noticed our roo had a slight limp, and a swollen foot. Attached are the initial pictures of the huge callous/scab prior to soaking and removing top layer.

    Rooster spur injury, normal wound healing?

    Hi all. About a week ago I noticed one of my hens had a visible scab under her wing. Further inspection showed 2 puncture marks and 2 linear marks along her sides. I'm thinking it was our roo spurs from mounting. We have since given the boys spur trims One side is quite deep, and there's a...

    Tapeworm?

    Further eval uncovered an egg, with no shell, nearby. It's definitely a soft shell membrane, i was able to gently remove the hanging piece. Gave her some oral calcium and dewormed just in case she has a worm load (she is pretty light). She eats a complete layer feed. We've isolated her near...

    Tapeworm?

    Gosh the drama never seems to end in chicken keeping life 😅. I have a hen who's been hanging out in the nesting boxes, looking rough with feathers. Today I see this hanging from her vent. Looks like a huge tapeworm to me! Please let me know your thoughts. We dewormed the flock in the winter.

    Update- took her to the chicken vet and they think she was bit by a snake. She's actually bearing a little weight now, so already improving! Thanks for the help as always

    Weird egg sack after calcium tablet

    I have not seen any dribbles, and she seems to be acting back to normal this morning. Should I continue to give her calcium for a couple days? I added more oyster shell containers for increased accessibility

    Weird egg sack after calcium tablet

    Hi all. I had a young layer (about 9 month old) looking unwell today. Brought her in and hadn't seen her lay yet. Gave her one calcium tablet, and about 30 min later she layed a soft shell egg. She perked up and was eating, but then I saw extra soft shell in the crate. Is there anything...

    Respiratory sounds- first time hearing this

    Yes, it was texas a&m.. they did histopathology along with it, and nothing stood out to them 🤔 I'm glad it wasn't MG either.. so that should mean nobody in the flock has it too?
