    Limping pullet with swollen hock

    Hi @Kbragg35. Sorry to hear about your pullet. Has she shown any improvement at all? My hen's condition remains the same, unfortunately. No better or worse. Her hock is still swollen and does not seem to be getting any smaller. I don't have her in the cage anymore. She is free to move about in...

    I just applied more ointment to her now and I saw her move her wing, so that's good👍

    2 week old chick with bad looking wing

    I'm not sure if she can move her bad wing. I watched her for a bit this morning and saw her stretch her good wing but she didn't do anything with the bad one. There isn't a smell coming from her wing area, so that's encouraging. She is eating and drinking good and scratching around with the...

    2 week old chick with bad looking wing

    Thank you. I brought her in and soaked her wing with a warm soapy wash cloth for a bit. I didn't notice any ingrown feathers. I can't seem to slough off any of the hard crust. It looks like a good chunk of the underside of her wing has this crusty scab on it. The skin on her body underneath her...

    2 week old chick with bad looking wing

    Hello all. I have nine 2 week old chicks that I gave to a broody hen as day olds to raise. I have them in a large dog crate in the coop. She's been doing a great job with them but today I noticed one of them has an odd looking wing. It looks kind of crusty and swollen on the edge, which felt...

    Limping pullet with swollen hock

    Coming back here for more advice. Unfortunately, my pullet's condition has not changed, for better or worse. Her left hock is still as swollen as the above pictures, though the greenish bruising is gone. She has been in crate rest for over two months. All she does is sit all day. When I take her...

    Limping pullet with swollen hock

    Thank you. It's definitely only on her left hock. The other looks good. I will continue with the crate rest and hope for the best.

    Limping pullet with swollen hock

    Her crate is with the others 24/7. When I let her out, some hens will kind of peck at her, I notice. Today I saw her and a senior hen trying to have a pecking order battle through the cage lol. Do you think this yellow part on her hock is brusing that is healing? Or could this be some kind of...

    Limping pullet with swollen hock

    Hello @Eggcessive. It's now been 2 weeks of my pullet in crate rest and her condition remains unchanged. I check her leg daily and haven't really seen much difference. When I let her out, she doesn't seem to put much, if any, weight on her left leg and she continues to spend her days sitting...

    Limping pullet with swollen hock

    Thank you! Yes, there does seem to be a scab on the side of the hock, possibly from whenever she injured herself? Not sure. She's in the crate 24/7 within the coop and has taken nicely to it. She just spends her day sitting down. I do let her out once a day to see how she's doing and to keep her...

    Limping pullet with swollen hock

    Hello all. Last Thursday, I noticed one of my 7 month old BCM pullets was sitting on the ground. She would get chased by another chicken and limp herself to a new location where she would sit again. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the hock on her left leg was bigger than her right. No other...

    Broody Hen Will Not Break

    I separated them after a minute or so when she tore a small chunk off her comb.

    Broody Hen Will Not Break

    She's in with the others. My next thought was to completely isolate her from her flock mates but didn't want to have to reintroduce her again. But if that's what it's going to take, I might have to.

    Broody Hen Will Not Break

    I had a broody BGL Wyandotte sitting on eggs. She was brooding in the coop but was separated from the rest in a dog cage. She hatched out 8 chicks almost 4 weeks ago. During that time, my Delaware hen went broody in the nesting box and I think when the chicks hatched, she heard the peeping and...

    Diarrhea, Hen Acting Off

    Hello all. I have a 2 year old EE hen who has some concerning symptoms. I noticed yesterday that she was sitting down some and not out free ranging with the rest. Her poops have also been pretty runny with a little solid matter that is greenish. Her crop felt flat for most of the day yesterday...

    Hello @tanchick Sadly, that remedy did not work for my hen and she ended up passing away 2 months after I first discovered her water belly. I never saw any improvement from her but it was worth a shot given there's not much else that can be done for water belly.
