    Limping and hopping - just started this afternoon

    I've read through this and I don't think it is a vitamin deficiency. They get a good layer feed and greens daily. I've examined her several times and there is no indication of a break.or other injury. Her joints move freely and her feet look ok (other than the curled toes.) I've kept her...

    Limping and hopping - just started this afternoon

    So today she is still eating well, but she appears to be having more problems with her leg. She seems to be having trouble standing, but she can still get up and move. I googled videos of Live chickens with Mareks and I am increasingly thinking that is the issue. Which per virtually every...

    Limping and hopping - just started this afternoon

    So she continues to be lame, I am not sure it is worse. I have ruled out bumblefoot. It seems the injury may be above her hock or on the thigh. Her feet do seem more curled and when she sits, she seems to have trouble adjusting the leg, eventually she will thrust it forward to sit. She...

    Limping and hopping - just started this afternoon

    She has no signs of bumblefoot, but I will continue to check as a scab likely wouldn't have developed in such a short period. She was fine on Saturday morning, then 3 hours later she was limping. The injury seems to be higher on her leg. She continues to limp, but I do not see any swelling...

    My hen "Ginger" just started limping and hopping like this today. This morning she was fine, so whatever happened happen in the last couple of hours. Laid a beautiful egg this morning. Seems like it may be upper leg as she is keeping her right foot forward. Upon inspecting I do not see...

    Limping Mites? Early Bumblefoot? Honey as a treatment?

    So I found my New Hampshire dead today. Yesterday she was foraging in the yard, she still was limping but using both her legs. My wife hear a clattering this morning and when I went out to check on the chickens, my NH was lying dead at the bottom of the coop ramp. It looks like she just...

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    I just had one of my girls exhibit signs of sour crop. It looked and felt like she had a water balloon in her crop. I did three things: 1) massaged her crop 1x per day for 3 days, 2) On the 2nd day, I turned her upside down and massaged her crop. 3) I added 1 tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar...

    Limping Mites? Early Bumblefoot? Honey as a treatment?

    I have a New Hamsphire who hasn't laid for about 3 weeks. This corresponded with the the temperature change (and time change) So I have assumed it to be a seasonal adjustment. However, I have noticed that she is limping/favoring one leg. She is still active and eating, other than the limp...

    Bumblefoot and dark area on leg

    I have a New Hamsphire with Bumblefoot on both feet. I performed a surgery about 10 days ago which apparently was unsuccessful as she is limping around and now has a black spot on her leg. What's interesting is the leg will the spot, is not the leg that is swollen. I plan to attempt...
