chick injury

I just noticed this bump on its beak yesterday but when I went to check photos I took the first day we got this batch the bump was already there so we bought her with it on it without realizing it. Has anyone seen this before? If so, do you know what it is and what caused it? It’s not a scab...

I saw one of my Polish chicks pecking at my lavender orpington’s toe. Upon further inspection I realized it was red and bleeding! The bleeding has stopped, it wasn’t a lot of blood, but the toe is bright red and I was wondering if at this age if that’s a big issue? If so, is there anything I can...

Hi there folks, So I’m new to chicks, but not chickens in general. I recently received some day old chicks by mail. I lost a Speckled Sussex without much warning on day three after receiving them. Today makes two weeks and three days since these girls (hopefully girls) were hatched. Just a few...

Hi all. I picked up two speckled Sussex pullets (hopefully!) from TSC but one has something on the left side of her face. Doesn’t seem to bother her and she eats and runs around just like the other 8 chicks in the indoor pen Any idea what this is and should I be concerned about it? I’m pretty...

When my chicks were fairly young around a week old, I was bring them outside and I had got 2 in the grass before my buff rooster ran over and picked my Rhode Island chick by the leg with its beak and mangled the leg. It had looked like straddle leg symptoms, one leg was sideways with curled toes...

Hey guys. I am new to chicken raising but long story short... I have 3 egg laying hens and 2 baby chicks (about 3 weeks old) raised them since they were days old. One of my adult hens seems to be very territorial, and has plucked the feathers out of one of my other adult ones. They've been...

I have a small 2 month old chick, who's leg us slowed bc of her crooked leg. I have been keeping her with her sisters, they're all the same age, but they've really outgrown her. She's much smaller than them, and needs help to get food and water. But that's not the issue. When I went out to feed...

Asking this for a friend: Can I get some insight on a chick? This little one just hatched and it's stomach is big and black. It also has a red lumpy piece of flesh connected to the umbilical cord. I don't remember seeing it on the other chicks. Is it any cause for alarm?

Hey gang! I hatched some silkies on Sunday. One of the chicks needed to be assisted during the hatch and has had some issues. At first, it was expected weakness and flopping around. The chick was standing on both feet until last night. It's not putting any weight on one of its feet and holds...

my baby chicken hatched 2 days ago. I forgot to take out the egg tray before lock down and I found her stuck in between the egg tray and the wall with her leg in an awkward position. I took out the egg tray and left her and the eggs in there. Now she is in the brooder and she can’t walk. It’s...

One of our turkey poults slipped a tendon about a week ago. Being that we thought it was an ailment other than a slipped tendon, we unfortunately treated for the wrong problem and only now discovered it's actually a slipped tendon. I've read multiple articles and threads, but despite trying all...
