    Is this Bumblefoot? Or growths?

    Hey everybody! I’ve had bumblefoot in my flock before, and I’ve been able to do surgery successfully (Thanks BYC and YouTube!). A neighbor asked for help with her hen who had bumble foot. I asked for pictures, and she sent the first two below. It seemed like caked on poo more than anything...

    Graphic - Pullet Autopsy, Any Ideas?

    I did an autopsy of a backyard mix pullet the other day. She was broody raised, and had a sister that looked just like her, but was bigger. I’m thinking this one had a genetic defect, which is why she died early. Not sure how old she was, however she was close to the point of lay. I hadn’t...

    Should this Roo be euthanized?

    Hey guys, asking this for my cousin. She had a fox attack the other day, and her Roo showed up that night, but in poor shape. The poor guy does not seem to lift his head much at all. He was clearly grabbed at the neck, and probably shaken around. He only seems to have a couple of puncture...

    Help me guess Bantam chick breed?,

    Hello all! I purchased these little cuties at TSC the other day, thinking I was getting Silkies. When I got home, I found that they had feathered legs, but light colored legs, not dark, as I had requested. I have three of them, and they seem to have a grayish cast to their fluff, and highly...

    Ruptured Yolk Sack on new chick, now what? *Graphic*

    Shipped eggs, most have hatched well. One seems to have a ruptured yolk sack and goo hanging out of her bum. She has pooped, and I have given her some water with nutri-drench and sugar. She is in a cup with a moist paper towel. Should I tie off the goo on her end? Let it go naturally? I...

    Medical professionals, curette sizes for bumblefoot?

    Hello all! I need to do bumblefoot surgery again on one of my girls, and I purchased a curette off of eBay. It was a #4 Spratt Brun curette, but it is way too big, almost 1/2" in diameter. Can anyone recommend the correct size and if that is a good tool to use? It looks like what I need...

    Meaties with Sinus Infection, safe to eat?

    My meaties are about 7 weeks old, Colored Broilers. They are currently free ranging and mixed in with my flock. I noticed some sneezing from them a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't hear a lot so I figured it was because they were eating the crumbles so quickly. Now several of them have...

    Chick struggled to hatch, now struggling to live...

    I had a CCL hatch out the other day. I decided I was going to watch the chicks hatch, and t seemed to be struggling at the zipping stage. I was advised to leave it until later, so I went to bed and checked it in the morning. Long story short, it seemed to have some membrane stuck to its head...

    Air cells too small, day 19....

    First time using an incubator, usually use broodies. I have a GFQ Styrofoam still with a turner. I had gotten shipped eggs from fellow BYCer but the shipment was delayed, so we both expected poor viability. That was correct, none of them developed. I also included four of my own girls'...

    Turkey with an Upper Respiratory Infection

    I bought 4 midget whites from a friend and one came with a cough/wheeze. He said some of them get it once, and then never again, once they get over it. It has been over a month and she is still wheezing and coughing. I don't see anything coming from her nose, although her nostrils look a...
