    Help! Chicken leg got stuck in trap!

    A hen got stuck in an animal trap we set up to get something messing with birds in a tractor. There’s not too much broken skin, looks pretty wonky. I’ve got her in an Epsom warm water soak and cleaned with peroxide. What do I do? We have other “gimpy” birds who use one leg to get around, but...

    Turkey hen moved some eggs but left others…

    It looks like Smokey moved part of her nest. I know this because there were over 10 turkey eggs, I caught a glimpse when she ran out for a dine n dash the other day. And now it looks like there are only like 3-4, plus a bunch of duck eggs. And obviously there is at least one bad one there if not...

    So periwinkle has something going on with her foot and as far as I can find, I haven’t seen any cases of bumblefoot that look like hers. Two of her toes are like short and fat with a hard black scab on the tips. We are about to suit up for surgery unless anyone thinks it could be something...

She is pretty much walking...

I gave her some benedryl to try to rule out a possible insect bite or maybe she swallowed something poisonous? The swelling...

    Help! Is it a prolapsed vent?!!

    Help! Paisley was just hanging by the front door for a couple of hours and I realized she had blood and poop all stuck in her feathers. So I took her in and rinsed her real well. The photos aren’t great but basically the top opening to her vent is very enlarged and there seems to be some flesh...

    Chick(s) legs are splayed, but at four weeks! Help!

    We have been gifted many dozens of birds (about 150) recently by a girl who is getting out of the bird life. Within those numbers are 50 babies of various types including 6 or so salmon faverolles. We had one end up sick a few days ago and her legs were all out of whack, almost like splayed...

    New on the yard 🐓

    Hey y’all! My name is Ren and my boyfriend montana and I recently moved to Ohio to his grandads farm. We have already gotten chickens, quails, ducks and Guinea. We have had a lot of learning lessons, even after just six short months! We built our own incubators and hatched all of our birds. We...
