I have a three year old baby chick I got from my local feed store along with others. One of her legs seem to be limp like. Could it be splayed leg? I did the bandaid method but she is sitting on her hocks instead of standing. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
We have a wild female peacock that has been hanging around my flock. I do not know anything about peacocks. My question is should I be worried about her hanging around? Can they carry diseases that chickens can get? Do I need to catch her and deworm her? Any advice on peacocks will be appreciated.
I have acquired an adult hen and rooster. They were my uncles but he was moving couldn't take them with him. I have them quarantined right now. I have treated them for lice and I am waiting for valbazen (had to Oder online) to get here so I can deworm them. The hen looks like her crop could be...
I let out the flock this morning and all of them were doing fine. I went back out there to feed them & gather eggs & one of my guineas were dead. No wounds on it it was like it just dropped dead. It is very hot here in tx right now. I was wondering if I should send his body off to get a necropsy...

I have a 7 week old chick that started out having a limp leg. I have been treating her with vitamins and giving her yogurt and cook egg yolks. She has gradually gotten worse. Its like her muscle are gone in her legs. She cant stand on them she just lays down. I have tried "physical therapy" and...
I am new to this site. I have been raising chickens for about 3 years. We just recently hatched some chicks. I have a question about one of my chicks. She is about 4-5 weeks old. She wasn't able to use one of her legs so I researched on here about it. I have been giving her poly vi sol and...
I have about 6 week old Guinea fowl and I noticed today that she has a swollen foot and is green. She is limping on it. When I checked her foot i did notice a cut on a toe. Can anyone tell me what this is and treatment? Is it an infection?
