Hi, please comment if you have an idea of what could be wrong!
Just this morning I noticed my hen struggling to walk. She is falling over and loosing her balance. I examined her feet which both look healthy and she didn’t seem to have any foot or leg pain as I touched her.

I found one of my chickens rumpled and against the coop wall. One or both her wings are injured but no breaks. She just plod around splayed and moves with great effort but tips over. I wrapped her wings with coban to immobilize her and she is eating, drinking, and pooping but just looks so sad...
Hi all :),
We have just bought two white leghorns around two weeks ago, apparently at point of lay but am presuming they are younger due to size.

I have a 3 month old Aylesbury duck. She used to walk fine but now she keeps losing her balance. She can stand, she stands all day but once she starts walking she falls all over the place, its to the point where she could injure herself, she falls and hits her head on the wall of the cage, she...
Not sure what is wrong with my Silkie. It almost looks like the beak has been chipping off and her nostrils are covered? The skin above her beak looks bad.
I have a 10 week old yellow turning white duck. He was fine in the morning when I fed him then i went out a few hours later due to the others making a ton of noise. I found my little man on his back. The only thing I can think of is him jumping off of things he's always doing it. He jumps from...
I have a female Golden Manchurian Coturnix quail that is suffering. She keeps falling over and can't get to the feed or water. I see no bruising or swelling or any other sort of disease. Is it okay if I butcher it? I have to know very soon because today is the only day I can do it.
Two weeks ago my hen was climbing up a rocky part of the coop when a rooster got hold of her. To put it blunt, he jumped on her, mated and off he went. She didn't stand up straigt away, so he took a second go at her. She closed her eyes and shook her head, didnt stand up so mister went for a...
I am writing to basically give some general information on a duck situation. Over the last month and a half or so I have done research online and sought information regarding a duck I have who has presented with some pretty odd behavior. We...myself and a knowledgeable member here on BYC...have...
I am lost! How can I save my pullets? I posted a couple of weeks ago that I found one pullet very thin and wobbly . She couldn't really stand. I had already treated all with Corid since I had seen some strange pink droppings. I isolated her right away We tried to get her to eat and gave her...
I have a mama chicken who would laid 13 eggs and within the last couple days all of them have hatched. The pen we kept her in my Dad was supposed to make safe for the chicks by covering a hole that separates the top level from the bottom and take out the ladder however he did not do that before...
I just picked up 14 chicks from tractor supply two days ago. I didn't notice until I got home a small bantam chick was wobbly. The chick wouldn't eat or walk at first or with others. I took her out and gave her one on one attention and she began running, eating, and drinking water. She acts...
