So far no improvement. Getting very worried because I have to leave tomorrow, and the person feeding my flock will not be able to give her individual care. Would it stress her out way too much to potentially bring her with me?? It’s a 12 hour drive, but idk what else to do.

I cant quite tell- she refuses to let them dangle when I pick her up- she’s still keeping them curled up- but I can’t see any noticeable movement when I swat them. Thank you so much, I will definitely try that and see how she responds !

Hi! Thank you so much for your reply. I did the tests: - she would not stand up at all- when I pick her up or try to put her down, her legs do not move, and stay tucked up to her chest. -she does not seem to be pushing back at all - when I tap the legs they dont move much because they’re...

Hi! So last week one of my hens stopped putting weight on one of her legs, and I couldn’t figure out why- there was no swelling or redness or anything. But she was in great spirits, and just got stressed out when I tried to keep her in a kennel to let her rest, so I have just been letting her be...

Thank you so so much! I will definitely do that and update you on how it goes.

The swelling does not seem to have any heat, and she is walking on it completely normally. I only noticed it as I was treating her for another minor injury. I gave it an Epsom salt soak, sprayed the foot with vetercyn spray, and wrapped it with gauze to keep it clean. I am going to try and lance...

It feels pretty hard when I squeeze it. Thank you for the help!

I have not noticed any respiratory symptoms, but I will start keeping a closer eye out for that. I am going to lance the foot tomorrow, I will update you then! Thank you so much.

Hello! I feel absolutely terrible about how long it’s taken me to notice this, but one of my chickens has very bad swelling on one of her feet. However I do not see any scab that might indicate bumblefoot, only a small indentation in one area- does anyone have any ideas of what it might be ? She...

Yea, I wish we didn’t have to take him but he’s been separated for a while now. Again, this was a friend of a friend that chose to take it, not me. It’s not right to take them from the wild but I don’t want him to die now. He seems very young, so I dont think there is as high of a risk of...

Hello! A couple in a park near us picked up a wild duckling and brought it home- and then gave it to one of our friends. Our friend doesn’t have the necessary supplies to care for them so we are considering caring for the duckling! We have three full grown domesticated ducks. If we were to raise...

Update! I woke up this morning to three lovely chicks! They are all healthy! Thanks for all the help! I may have overreacted- the egg was just very strange looking and I haven’t watched the hatching process before!

Okay this seems like the safer choice. I’m a bit conflicted as someone else said to bring it inside but for now we are just letting nature do it’s thing. There was a bit of peeping and movement going on last time I checked, which I hope is a good sign. I will update y’all in the morning, thanks...

Hello! We have been letting our hen hatch a few eggs and this morning one was super cracked and crushed- but the chick is alive. We haven’t been tracking it super closely- but the eggs should be hatching this week I think. Is the egg hatching or cracked, and what should I do? It’s been like this...

Thank you 💕

Very sad news... she didn’t make it. I went into check on her and she was dead. I feel so immensely terrible- I think I should have taken the risk and tried to clear the blockage myself. Thank you all for helping me this far.

Update: Things are getting worse. She hasn’t pooped since yesterday, and her poop was all white with some grass in it. And it stinks to high heaven in the room she’s in, holy cow. I think last night she vomited, as there is some bile on the floor. Here is the treatment right now: Twice a day...

Okay thank you so much! I have miconazole, how would I give it to her? And how much? Thank you for the help!
