    Frost Bitten Feet? Or Something MUCH worse!!!

    Thanks, I figured that was the case. After her accident I took her inside and put electrolyte on her water. We didn’t have any nutridrench on hand...:( Good news she is still alive. She moved from sitting to standing but still has her head tucked under her feathers. I got her go drink some water...

    Frost Bitten Feet? Or Something MUCH worse!!!

    I’m glad everyone thinks it’s feather pecked... my poor little white hen crystal seems to be waiting to die. Also I totally forgot to include the important backstory. About three days ago I found crystal pretty much upside down wedge between two bords and we got her out and she seemed fine...

    Frost Bitten Feet? Or Something MUCH worse!!!

    They are both in the house and I have tried to coax the splash Chochin hen into drinking and I’m trying to give electrolytes. The rooster with the foot and back issue is very vibrant and eating/drinking. After doing brief research on articular grout I don’t think it’s the case. It came on so...

    Rabbit Thread

    Good news and bad news. Good news, I took her to the vet and had an X-ray. Leg is broken but will heal by itself in 6 weeks. Really bad news...(but suspected) she has snuffles. The vet gave me an antibiotic for treatment, but snuffles is hard to cure and highly contagious. This means that my...

    Molting or bullying?

    Hey, Welcome to BYC :welcome!!!! She could be molting very hard, or she may have an external parasite. It is hard to tell by the picture, but from my personal expierence when chickens are infected with mites they lose feathers by their head and their skin tends to be irritated and red. Again, a...

    Rabbit Thread

    Update: She is doing really good. She is fully eating and drinking; also, she is isolated in a small area to keep her from moving around. Upon further examination the bone is intact and she seems to be in no pain. The odd thing is the foot is limp and it can go in odd directions. Would a splint...

    Rabbit Thread

    So.... I just brought home a rabbit (Chinchilla Mini Satin-to be exact) and it was extremely skittish. Due to her nerves she jumped around a ton and landed wrong on her back foot. Her hind foot is completely limp by the hock and it seems as if her foot is totally snapped by the bone. Im at a...

    New chicks

    Chochin chicks always have fluffy feet, sometimes when their younger their feathery feet aren’t as apparent. Here’s a picture of one of my chochin chicks. Note the fluffy feet. However other breeds like bramhas and silkies have feathery feet too. Chochins have single combs so that can be a...
