    Necropsy results, maybe salpingitis? GRAPHIC IMAGES

    I was expecting to see a lot of fluid because of how swollen her abdomen was, but there was just a very small amount of slightly yellowish fluid that came out. There was what looked like a mix of liquid pus and yolk that came out of the oviduct through a very small hole (possibly made by me). I...

    Necropsy results, maybe salpingitis? GRAPHIC IMAGES

    I have a 1-year-old Cuckoo Marans hen that died overnight. She's been acting normal up until about 2 days ago. She started hiding constantly and was getting picked on. I also noticed her abdomen was very swollen. She had started growing spurs too (about ½" long), which I didn't think anything of...

    Splayed leg? Ankle hyperextends?

    As of today there seems to be some progress. The chick was able to bend it's ankle a few times normally and take a few semi normal steps without falling. I noticed quite a bit of swelling around the knee though, so I trimmed some of the feathers and looked at it closer. His knee is bruised...

    Splayed leg? Ankle hyperextends?

    I have him wrapped up in a cup with his legs hobbled right now. He's been there since yesterday afternoon. Should I leave him until tomorrow or take him out tonight and see if there's any change?

    Splayed leg? Ankle hyperextends?

    Thanks for the pictures! I was debating whether or not to wrap it that way. If the leg isn't staying straight by tomorrow I will definitely try that. It looks like your chick healed perfectly!

    Splayed leg? Ankle hyperextends?

    Thanks for responding! I like your idea of massage therapy. I tried to slowly bend the leg a few times going a little farther each time. I also massaged the joint in between bending it. After 5-10 minutes the range of motion in the ankle had increased a lot. I didn't realize just how stiff the...

    Splayed leg? Ankle hyperextends?

    Hello! My peahen, Penny, hatched 5 peachicks on Monday night (I think). They all look very healthy except I think one has a splayed leg. It also seems like the ankle hyperextends. The chick can still move it's toes and they aren't curled. I tried to hobble the legs, but that doesn't seem to be...

    What color Wyandotte is this chick?

    I think they're about 6-6½ weeks old. I got them from Tractor Supply. It was an assortment of Wyandotte colors, but I don't remember which ones were listed. I think Ruff is gold laced. Tuff has a lot more black and a little bit of white. But, she looks quite a bit different than the silver Laced...

    Chicken's pupils aren't dilating

    The feeder opening is only 2-3 inches wide, but she doesn't have a problem finding it now. I've seen her eat everyday. The water is a heated bucket that's actually for horses, but it's really easy for them to use. I checked her keel bone, she has more meat than some of the others.

    Chicken's pupils aren't dilating

    This morning her eye was mostly open. A few days ago her eye was green, but today it's gray. Her face is still a little puffy.

    Chicken's pupils aren't dilating

    The white on her face is probably yogurt. I gave them a little yesterday.

    Chicken's pupils aren't dilating

    Her normal eye color is yellow. The right eye is a really dark green. She can't see out of it. I don't know about weakness on that side. Today she was easy to catch, but I distracted her while my sister came up from behind. She's a little slower, but still runs around like the other birds. She...

    Chicken's pupils aren't dilating

    So far none of my other birds are showing symptoms. This one seemed to be getting better, but then her eyes got worse. They look horrible. One eye has an irregular pupil. The other was really dark, but not really gray. Now it's swollen shut. It was still open yesterday, but today she can't open...

    Dog attack, injured chicken

    Dottie died during the night. She got her head twisted and stuck again.

    Dog attack, injured chicken

    I think Dottie is in shock. She's tired from the trauma, her pulse is weak and fast. I put a towel on her and got a heat lamp on her. She did try to fly away again. She's still breathing fine though. She kept trying to lift up her head, then it would fall off of the towels. I had to fill the box...
