    Help! Dislocated/broken hip

    Yeah, we just can’t do the vet every time something is wrong with our chickens, especially so much of it can’t be mended. I do my best and am learning how to fix various issues, and recognize when they need to be put out of their pain. Her activity is limited, I tried to splint/wrap her leg as...

    Help! Dislocated/broken hip

    I did feel what felt like a break. But I’ve never felt a broken bone in my life so I’m second guessing myself. Could she have broken the bone clean in half? Her leg is 100% limp, no control.

    Help! Dislocated/broken hip

    I ended up making a really awesome chicken song for her. She is much more comfortable in it. I’ve been giving her some meloxicam, and put a dose of liquid vitamin B in her water. I tried to feel more closely what was going on, and I can tell the injury is at the top of her leg, close to her...

    Help! Dislocated/broken hip

    Our chickens aren’t vaccinated for various reasons. I’ve seen mareks, but it just doesn’t have the mareks feel you know? And it was really, really sudden. Thank you for the chicken sling examples! I think she’d tolerate that just fine so I’ll give that a go. She’s really sweet. I’ve heard...

    Help! Dislocated/broken hip

    I don’t feel any bruising, but I’m about to go check this morning. If anything, her leg felt slimmer but maybe because she wasn’t flexing it like the other. And yes she is completely fine other than that. Occasionally shifts to lay differently, sometimes stands on one leg.

    Help! Dislocated/broken hip

    Today when I checked on my girls in the morning, one was in the nesting box and practically fell out. Apparently some time during the night, she either fell of the roost wrong, or the rooster jumped her and she tried to get away and twisted her hip… I don’t know, but her right leg is completely...

    Chicken sick: water belly, sour crop, and diarrhea

    I have other groups of chickens kept separate from that group: would they be at risk? Is there a way I can test my other flocks for this?

    Chicken sick: water belly, sour crop, and diarrhea

    It was very packed, challenging to loosen, and none of it was passing through her. Her intestine was full of just watery fluid, absolutely nothing even close to solid.

    Chicken sick: water belly, sour crop, and diarrhea

    I’m not familiar with that. I looked it up but I’m still unclear. Could you help me understand more about it? Is it contagious? What about the rest of my flock? Thank you all so much!!

    Chicken sick: water belly, sour crop, and diarrhea

    I actually did a necropsy on her today, and the big lump was her gizzard. It was really hard and very full of what seemed like almost finely ground straw. Is this normal? I don’t know what a healthy gizzard looks like. I also noticed a tumor and yellow spots on her liver, so that explains some...

    Chicken sick: water belly, sour crop, and diarrhea

    I was thinking that too.. so hard to tell what the lump is! Well I’ve decided to let her go, which I’ll do today, then do a necropsy to see what I’m looking at and hopefully learn some more. This was very educational. Just wish I could have done more.

    Chicken sick: water belly, sour crop, and diarrhea

    I’m not sure how old she is. We got her from someone who was super casual in their chicken-keeping methods.. I know she’s probably on her way out, but I just want to understand what causes each symptom, so I can be better educated. Any idea why her diarrhea was grainy??
