    Chick with damaged leg. Splayed or broken?

    Hey yall! I received a package of day old chicks in the mail today. This will be my second time raising a flock from this age. I'm asking for opinion on what you think is wrong with one of the chicks legs. My initial thought was straddle leg but when I really inspected the leg, I noticed the...

    Swollen chicken leg

    Hi I have a 6 month old black copper maran who about a month ago started limping with a swollen leg overnight. I checked and there does not appear to be any bumble foot issues going on so I assumed she had strained/ broken it at first and splinted her leg. It then seemed to get a bit worse and...

    Can a chicken with a lame leg still lay eggs

    My 17 week chicken broke her leg a month ago. I took her to the vet and they placed her in a cast. The break is now healed, but she still has trouble using the leg (kind of hops and drags it behind her). I have been doing some range of motion movements twice a day as the vet recommended too...

    Found a pigeon with a broken leg

    Found a hurt undomesticated pigeon underneath a car. It's left leg is broken/splayed. The nearest wildlife rehabilitation center already has 300 pigeons in care -- for this pigeon to be accepted, I'll have to issue a $100 donation. Splint surgery at an animal hospital is also costly. I would...

    Broken leg? Injury healed crooked.

    So this curious girl went through the fence with our speckled Sussex and got hurt. The Sussex looked like she was in bad shape so I isolated and took care of the wounds. She’s fine now. This girl only looked like she had a tiny nick on her leg and scrape on her back. Those both healed quick and...

    Leg injured and won't eat/drink.

    Teen owner of three 2 month old chickens here. A few weeks ago, our four chickens were attacked by a hawk. One passed away, and another is injured. The injured one (Sesame, as named after my favorite dish sesame chicken haha) seems to have trouble standing on its own. At first, it stayed still...

    Aspirin dosage for hurt leg?

    Hello, I have a leghorn hen who was pushed of her roost this morning and landed on her foot funny. She now limps as she walks but she still puts some weight on it, she just sits down after too much movement. I’ve also examined her leg and it doesn’t seem to be broken so maybe she just sprained...

    Posey Broke Her Leg

    Hi all! Posey is my first chicky hatched to my chickens. She’s about 5 weeks old and as of yesterday, she cannot put weight on her left leg. I see no obvious injury, but breaking several bones myself, it seems she broke her “ankle.” I made a splint with a pad, q-tips, and band aids. She is...

    My guinea has hurt it leg at “joint A”. It has no control of the leg from that area down.The leg flips limp from that point. Seeing a vet is out of the question and I don’t want to put it down.

    Duck has had some sort of leg/foot issue for a couple weeks

    We got these ducks one month ago-they are about 5 weeks old. One of them, about 2-3 weeks ago, jumped out of my sister’s hands while she was swimming the ducks and, while we didn’t think the duck was injured then, seems to have injured itself. The duck hobbles when it walks, and the foot looks...

    My 6 year old rooster has all of a sudden started having balance and walking issues. Two days ago I cleaned their coop and trimmed his spurs. His left leg has bothered him for about a year now. No sign of injury, just thought maybe arthritis. He’s always got around fine just with a odd gait. He...
