Update! I didn't notice at the beginning (maybe it wasn't as bad) but the ankle on her bad foot was super swollen when I checked all over her last week, which the antibiotics cleared up. She appears to have a wound. Looks like bumblefoot but on her ankle? She's looking better physically, she's...

Update: she hasn't gotten any worse, and she seems to be able to stand now. Her feathers are coming back at least. just gonna continue what we've been doing and make sure shes comfortable

Maybe, I'm just confused about where she would have gotten it because we haven't introduced anyone new in about 2 years, and the neighbour with a flock has had the same birds for almost 5. I'll consider that, though. For now we are treating for mites and infection and taking her out for yard...

Hello! As the title reads, I am concerned that my hen is unable to walk. This occurred suddenly about 3 days ago when she began to favour one leg, then became completely unable to walk. She loses her balance and tips over forward, then scoots backwards because she cannot move forwards. She also...

You should get the bab to a vet if possible. I haven't experienced this personally, but that looks pretty gross. I hope it all goes well for you ;-;

Their issues seem respiratory, but it cannot hurt to treat them for coccidiosis. How does their poo look? Is there any bood? Is it foamy or oddly coloured?

Runny noses sounds like a respiratory problem. They might have spread a respiratory infection around. Are they sneezing? Does their breathing sound funny? Your best bet might be handing them to a veterinarian? In the meantime, make sure they stay warm by providing a heat source. Give them...

ah okay okay that's what I thought I tend to overreact a bit when they start acting super weird, and I've never had an aggressive and persistent broody before just needed a second opinion thank you < 3 edit: this is the scream she does not seem happy...

Okay so she is a buff orpington, and she's about 2 years old? I don't know exactly because I got her from my uncle, but she still lays regularly and seems generally healthy. For the past two days she's been sitting in the nesting box, but hasn't had any eggs to sit on. When she's not on the...

I think it affects her perching slightly. That toe on the left bends so much that it doesn't want to wrap around the front when she grasps things. She can move around just fine, though. Then I suppose I should?

I don't think you can really stop them from kicking their litter around unless you remove it, so if you should make sure you keep their food and water accessible. Temperature-wise, it's about 5 degrees less every week that they can handle. As long as they aren't visibly cold, so removing the...

I figured since this isn't too big of an issue, it fits in this forum? One of the babies has some toes that kinda turn out, but the others seem fine. It's hereditary, I believe. Should I attempt to correct this?

I have wormed before, but it's been a few months... I just asked my mother about getting stuff from our vet to do that. I'll get up a video to show my flock, since it's probably better than trying to describe how she's doing.

I have this four year old barred rock hen. Her comb is pale and drooped over, and she doesn't seem to be eating much. She has been really lazy lately, too. Her poops are mostly white, and I know it's because she hasn't been nourished well, but what I don't understand is why she twitches her head...
