    I noticed that one of my hens has a limp today. When she walks, she swings her lame leg around and almost hops around. When I inspected her, I noticed that it felt like her leg was sticking out at the hip a little. One side of her hip is smooth and normal, and the side with the lame leg feels...

    Slipped tendon in 6 month old rooster

    I looked into it more and realized that most likely what my baby Easter has is a slipped tendon. I noticed a little while ago and the man that was watching him for me brushed it off saying that he was fine. I was in a rush so I didn’t look into it at all. I’m so terribly regretting that now...

    Bumblefoot or Broken bone

    My rooster jumped off from our two story building and got hurt. He’s not able to move, and one of his ankle is swollen. Took him to the vet and he says it’s bumblefoot.

    BROKEN FEMUR

    Our yellow chicken Salt had jumped out of the coop from the top roost and broke her femur bone (10/22). We splinted it best we could being that it is super close to the hip. Its been two days since. The foot on the broken leg is still warm which is awesome and we’ve been having to force her to...

    I have an 8 month Cuckoo Marans rooster who has had a really rough winter. I'm assuming he got pushed off the roost in the coop on 1/20 because he was fine earlier in the day and the next day he was limping and not putting pressure on his left leg. We brought him in, I checked him out for...
