I went to check on my chicks and Icaria my feather legged Olive Egger chick’s foot looked like this. I don’t remember it being this way yesterday. She is moving fine, no limping. It’s not actively bleeding. Should I be worried? Thanks for any advice in advance.
Yesterday evening, I found my little polish rooster sitting under a bush. It was about 30 minutes after I had last seen him. As I tried to coax him out I realized one of his legs was pulled straight up behind him tangled tightly in a dead vine. I guess he was roosting in the large bush and as he...
Hi, we have an old hen that's had a reoccurring bumblefoot infection. She's got it again, treating fot 3 weeks now and this time the silver sulphdiazine is not treating the infection.
My question is can injectible penicillin treat this type of infection with results? She doesn't lay often any...
One of our hens has bloody feet. her left foot is worse than the right, and I have no idea what happened, but she's acting normal. I was going to go out and attempt to clean it/put Neosporin on it, but I'm not really sure what to do. she is almost a year old, and we live in Massachusetts and...
I recently noticed a hard lump on the inner side of one of my 1.5 y/o RIR's ankles (around where her foot meets her leg). It does not feel warm to the touch, and is quite hard. It seems a bit pinkish, but it's hard to tell, because all of my chickens' feet get a little splotchy and pink when...
My little girl Houdini’d her way out of the coop some how and got caught in the foot trap that we had set out for whatever has been eating her family. There was significant swelling and an abrasion on the lateral side of her left foot. Her right foot had a small abrasion on her 2nd toe. I used a...
Brought home from the feed store today. The entire foot is swollen and purplish. Skin is split between toes, I think from being stretched so tight. There is also a small split in the bottom of her foot from the pressure, got a lot of clear yellow fluid out of that, but it is not bumblefoot. A...
Hello friends and fowls!
I am new here but have been reading your boards online for a while now.
I rescued a young pigeon ( approx 25 days old) about 6 months ago who had been attacked by a dog (?) Mos of her tail feathers were ripped out and was missing 7 flight feathers from her left...
Hello,
I hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day. So I previously had a duck pass away after she had been limping/immobile for a few weeks out of the blue. I came home and she was passed away laying by the coop with the other ducks and it was really heartbreaking. Now I have another one of my...
Got some chicks from my neighbor and one of them has a wired looking foot. It seems somewhat healthy otherwise. I just want to know if there’s something I can do to help it. It walks, eats and drinks normally. I tried my best to take a pic of it. If more pics are needed I’ll gladly take more.
One of my goslings seems to have a leg or foot problem and has been standing with its left leg a lot (as in the video). I don't know when it started, but I hadn't noticed it until yesterday (May 30th PDT) afternoon.
We looked at its right foot from the toes to the hock but didn't find the...

Hello BYC Friends!
Yesterday afternoon I found Jasper, my cochin rooster, resting in the chicken yard. He allowed me to pick him up an handle him (usually he squirms). His left eye was partially closed and watery, and his right foot looked floppy. I kept him inside overnight to rest. Today...
Hi Everyone,
I have a BCM that is limping and I checked for Bumblefoot and found nothing. To me it looks like she “sprained” for lack of a better word. Any thoughts?
I have been having this problem for a while now. my easter egger hen has been limping for a few months know and both of her feet have gone completely limp. I have tried giving her vitamins and other medicine but I'm afraid they have not made a difference. Today I noticed that one of her toes is...
How's everyone's Christmas Eve going? All well I hope.
Yesterday I was at a family Christmas and didn't get home until late. All I did was fill up waterers when I got home. Today I'm actually out looking at everyone and one of my rooster's feet is deformed and he curls it under while walking...
This is going to be a long one, but bear with me. I want to be sure to include every ounce of information that I can in order to figure out what the heck is going on!!!!
Okay. So, I came across information about bumblefoot ages ago when trying to figure out what was wrong with one of our...
My hen has been limping for a few days and her foot looks like it has a bruise and some swelling around it. Is there anything I can do to help her foot heal or a way to stabilize it? Not sure what happened to her, but it looks like a sprain or something fell on it.
We had been treating the...
