    Eyelid infection?

    Thank you! Ordering now! No pus or drainage, normal behavior. Almost looks like the "tear duct" area is spilling out? It's definitely flesh.

    Eyelid infection?

    Hello everyone! Today I noticed our Speckled Sussex had a white looking eye. I'm not sure how to describe it, so please see picture below. No pus, but looks like the inner eyelid is injured or infected. Adding a video soon. Is there anything I can do to help with this?

    The happiest chicken

    Wanted to post a little joy here. Meet Derp. He is the happiest chicken. Long story short, we ordered some Freedom Rangers from our local chick shop (meat intention) and after getting them in the brooder, I didn't think this one was going to make it. I noticed the crossed beak right away...

    Bleeding from beak- dog attack

    Update: her breathing has calmed significantly and she just made a little coo at me. Still under observation and has sugar water handy, but much improvement. Hoping my panic was a false alarm. :fl

    Bleeding from beak- dog attack

    Our neighbors dog just attacked one of our girls. She's 8mos old, Easter egger. It's a small dog, but got her by the neck. No external injuries, just bleeding from the mouth. Anything we can do to encourage clotting? We have her inside now. Breathing sounds labored and worth a slight...

    Paralyzed legs

    @casportpony - Kathy, I've been reading through some of your older posts and wanted to reach out in case you have any ideas on this case. So far, I haven't read about anything quite like this. Thank you so much.

    Paralyzed legs

    Just wanted to send an update. Ruth is still with us, bright as day and alert as ever. But her lower legs still have no movement or response. She's still eating and drinking on her own; only signs of distress are when she seems to realize she can't stand. We've completed several more checks on...

    Paralyzed legs

    This is a great chart! I would put her at a 2. Her abdomen doesn't feel bloated or too firm. It has a good give without feeling squishy. She seems to be pulsing(?) her cloaca causing the ab muscles to relax and contract. But she doesn't seem distressed. She started trying to knee walk and so it...

    Paralyzed legs

    Just completed an egg check and did not feel anything. We're giving her a break from the sling and letting her lay in the sun. After giving her the vitamins she made a fuss and had her wings spread for balance. This is the first time we've seen movement of her tail. Her tail perked up and it...

    Paralyzed legs

    Sadly we aren't sure when she last laid. We rarely see her in the nest boxes and were beginning to think she's past her egg laying days. She had a warm bath yesterday and will have another with Epsom salt later today. We can't feel anything from the outside but it sounds like it's time to put on...

    Paralyzed legs

    Thank you Debbie292d! She is not generally picked on but I can imagine it happening after her lack of walking. Chickens be fierce. Regardless, I agree the two are unrelated. We checked our cameras around the coop and confirmed no predators were involved. We started with a basic vitamin mix...

    Paralyzed legs

    @Zoohtasim, I read through your 2021 post which gave me some hope. I know this was a few years ago, but do you remember if her feet made any attempt to grip your fingers or if they were just limp? Giving her a scramble with extra calcium now in case this is egg related.

    Miss Marcy is just beautiful! Wishing you the best. I have not experienced this (yet) and will be saving this thread for the future. I'm very impressed with the steps you took here. Great job!:yesss:

    Paralyzed legs

    Hello all, I've been reading through some posts on paralyzed chickens, but our girl Ruth seems to have different symptoms. Looking for any advice. Ruth was rehomed to us by a family who didn't want their birds anymore, so sadly we don't know her age or vaccination status. There's only one place...

    Severe cross beak help?

    Thank you so much! We were able to get a little food and vitamin water in her tonight. I made a very liquidy mash to see if she can eat on her own at all, but I don't think she can. I don't have the ability to hand feed that often either, but we're going to try. Very sorry to hear about your...
