We bought 3 frizzles and some other babies, The smallest of the three didn’t make it a day and this one has had problems with its leg/legs for about three days now (All other chicks are healthy). I can’t remember exactly how old they are, I’m thinking there around 5weeks. When it tries to fly...
My chicken has a broken leg from falling on one side. It will stick out 90 degrees from her body. I suspended her into a wired "hammock" to keep weight off of her legs, but she got out of it and somehow wriggled up into her coop. She can't stand up. She's eating and still laying but I am...
My duck broke his leg about 5 weeks ago. The break was high up in the leg near the hip so we couldn't splint it. We had his leg bound to his body for 3 weeks and the bone has callused over but he still can't use his foot. He limps on his leg but has no control over his foot and walks on it...
Hi everyone, we have 9 8-week-old chicks that we raised since they were 2 days old. They were raised indoors until 3 days ago when we moved them to the outdoor coop. Among them there is a brown Leghorn. She was very active, but not very people friendly. 5 days ago when I was chasing her around...
I have a backyard with a lake in it. So of course there's a lot of ducks there. One we hand feed and love. I do not know the breed she is. One day when i was going to feed her I noticed she as not using one of her legs. She will not let me get close to her at all. But I can clearly see teeth...
I noticed one of the legs looked swollen on a chick but he isn't walking any different or acting like it's painful at all. The swelling isn't something I've seen before, but it looks like it is every joint on his right leg.
Any idea what caused this and how can I help?
my two little silkies are around 3 months old. One I believe is a rooster, and one is a hen. Yesterday while feeding my silkies (Afro & Peep), I saw that Afro had injured her self and was limping. This morning I checked on her and she was still limping. I think the injury was caused by how they...

Hello!
I found my favorite duck with an inured foot last night when I went out to put her to bed. She won’t put any weight on it at all and her poor little toes look so lifeless hanging there. I did check for blood flow, the injured foot is the same temp as her good one, nothing visibly broken...
Not sure what happened with this little one, I moved them outside 3 days prior to noticing the injury. I have no clue what to do. The red spot is a bone, it isn't breaking the skin, but you can see it is sticking out. Thank you for any advice you may have!
Our one female Muscovy duck has been laying in the same place for a day or two, she moved a bit earlier but used both her wings to pull herself around. Not sure what it is but she is still eating and drinking fine, but doesn't struggle when I pet her or nudge her. She broke her pelvis when she...
i have a hen with a broken leg. I stepped on her! Please be careful. It doesn't feel good. Anyway, she is fine but can't walk. I wrapped the leg and it is straight. She won't move. Any suggestions?
hi! We noticed one of our ducks limping and lifting his leg when standing still. He never wants to put weight on his foot. We caught him and now have him quarantined from the rest to try to help him heal. I am having a hard time finding pictures from others that may have had a similar injury. To...
Hey, I thought my banty cochin had mareks. Even though she was limping, she would drink and eat and love to limp to see us, even though she was going to get picked on and possibly mounted, recently, by another lower hen. Today, I spent time with her and thought, what if I feel her legs, are they...

Hi all, I have been coming here to learn all about our new ducks and it has been great but one has now been injured. I'm so worried about her. She couldn't put weight on it yesterday and today she can limp. I gave her a bath. She eats and drinks but her leg is turned out! She is sort of...
These are my first round of chicks and I am not sure if this gals leg is splayed (so it needs to be held closer to the other leg with a rubberband, band aid, or pipe cleaner) or broken (so it needs to be splinted) or there is something else (deformity?) going on. I put a band aid on it for a few...
