    Limping 7 mo. Barred Rock Chicken

    I've attached two pictures, one close up of the hock and another of her leg. Her hock does have scabs from her sitting and laying on it the past two weeks. The black spots in the second picture seem new to me. After a bit more digging here and on a few other threads, I suspect its an Achilles...

    7 month old buff orphinton limping

    How is your hen doing now? My barred rock is faring pretty similar to yours, although nearly three weeks in I"m just looking for others to see how they are faring now. Would love to hear an update.

    Limping 7 mo. Barred Rock Chicken

    Nearly two weeks later and no change. She still eats and drinks and makes her way around the coop and run, transitioning up and down the ramp herself. She has stopped laying, but it has been pretty cold/dark/grey these last few weeks and she is young so I'm not sure how reliable her laying...

    Limping 7 mo. Barred Rock Chicken

    Thank you, everyone, for your advice. I've started her on aspirin and will just keep a close eye on her. After a bit more observation, she's not really flexing her foot. It stays curled, similar to in the video and this new picture, never fully flexed. She's started putting more pressure on...

    Limping 7 mo. Barred Rock Chicken

    Thank you! It definitely appears to be the joint and putting pressure on it but I’ll keep watching. No one else is picking on her. Thanks for the advice.

    No new birds - just her and one other bird we bought together. I’ll take some pictures of her feet in the am. It’s dark now.

    Limping 7 mo. Barred Rock Chicken

    I went out this morning to check on the girls and noticed one of my hens was limping. She was still energetic and making it around the yard fine, just slowly. I picked her up and checked for visible sores, injuries, discoloration on her leg/foot and found nothing. I left for work and decided to...

    Odd Pullet behavior

    Hi there JustUsChickens. Unfortunately, my girl passed this weekend almost exactly a month since her symptoms started. As I mentioned in my last post 10 days ago she stopped being able to walk and also stopped eating and drinking. Like WykorpRock recommended to you, I would echo the use of...

    Odd Pullet behavior

    I've spoken with a few people - animal people of varying degrees - and they all think its some neurological/brain issue with this specific bird as all my others are showing no symptoms. She is now completely unable to walk and has stopped eating and drinking. Understandably, she's lost quite a...

    Odd Pullet behavior

    There is slight swelling by her jaw (under her ear) and I cleaned her ears a few weeks ago to try to mitigate that. Her comb is a bit dry, but she is a pullet and has never laid so I've just thought it hasn't gotten plump and red yet - and their run is primarily sand so they often are sandy...

    Odd Pullet behavior

    So this morning when I went to give her the vitamins she was walking a bit odd - backwards and fast a bit and falling over. I left work early to get home while it was still daylight to check on her and she couldn't walk at all. Maybe a step or two and would lay on her side and kind of bicycle...

    Odd Pullet behavior

    Thank you everyone for your replies! I am trying the medicine and hope it works. She is completely normal during the day besides her aversion to the ramp from the coop to the run, and only does that weird 'dance' at night. hoping the medicine works. thank you all again!
