foot

The baby call duck just hatched today a day later than all the rest and I noticed there is something off with it's foot/ leg? I need help and advice my first time with hatching ducklings.

My one and a half year old rooster has a bleeding foot, and I’m unsure about whether it’s coming from the spur or a wound on the leg itself. He lives in a spacious coop with 5 hens, and acts/looks completely normal and healthy. However, his feet do bleed pretty often (around once every 2 months...

Male call duck hops around on one foot while his other is curled up. His eyes are also watering, making his face crusty. It started a week ago and at first, I thought it was bumblefoot but now I'm not so sure. I've been soaking his foot in salt water every day for the past week and it hasn't...

Today I noticed some strange growths on one of my roosters feet. At first I thought it was caked on mud but when I tugged on them it started bleeding. I thought maybe it was bumble foot but I've never seen bumblefoot that looked like this. Any idea what it is?

Anyone ever run across anything like this? Looking for recommendations how to treat this curled toenail/swelling (left foot, back toe). How to know how much toenail to cut off?

My male guinea started limping recently and his legs started shaking, getting worse quickly. When i checked his feet, i noticed these big black scabbish things in his toes. My first thought was bumblefoot, but after soaking in very warm water with epsom salts for at least twenty minutes and...

Hi there! We have some chickens that will be 12 weeks old tomorrow, Lord’s Willing! Sadly, a raccoon got into the pen a few nights back and got one of them :hit Praise The Lord, the others all seemed okay, but we noticed one laying down more than others. She (he) is still eating and drinking...

She is a 5 year old lavender orpington. She has some other health issues, but is doing ok. This has been on her foot for about 4-5 months. She will limp for a while then be fine for weeks. It has never spread or changed. No other chickens have foot issues. I’d love anyone’s help, but I am going...

I have a chick that hatched a few days ago that can’t seem to walk properly. He has one leg toward the front and one toward the back and his foot to the front is larger and seems to be full of fluid. He doesn’t open his foot either, it stays closed like he is being held all the time. He’s been...

Hi. I have recently bought 3 Muscovy ducklings about 10 days ago. (I also have 2 chickens and have had more of both in the past.) The situation: The ducklings are roughly 4, 6 & 8 weeks old. The oldest is also significantly larger, so I suspect it is a drake. The oldest has some sort of foot...

My 1.5 year old SLW hen is limping and not putting much weight in that foot while on the roost bar. We’ve brought her in and soaked it in Epsom salts 2 nights in a row. Tonight she did not want to put that foot into the water. We’ve also used gauze to put chlorohexidine on it to clean. The pads...

Hello to all of you chicken enthusiast ! I was hoping my first post on this forum would be something more positive, but I have a bit of a problem with one of my hens. I try not to pick the chickens up too often because I don't like to create stressful situations for them. I moved my flock to a...

Hi everyone, I used to have an account here a while back but seemed to have lost my login information. I have a rooster who is a week into recovery from a bumblefoot scab removal on both feet, a vet performed the scab removal. Rooster was born around 2020 (two years old), breed is a polish...

my guinea boy has a hurt leg, he has no open sores or wounds. the foot is hot and he isnt able to move his tallons like he does on the other foot. my rooster earlier in the week had something where he was limping also so im wondering if it is something that will fix on its own or not. is he...

I'll preface this by saying that I did not take any pictures. My 4 year old Plymouth Barred Rock had a swelling between two toes of each foot. After inspection, I found that a wad of dirt and poop had collected in the webbing between 2 of her toes. This was the situation on each foot. I cleaned...

on our chickens left foot her three front toes are limp. she has full extension of the rest of her leg but she can’t pull it in herself. it doesn’t feel like there’s a break so i’m thinking it could be paralysis. any opinions?

Hey all, I was with my chickens yesterday and saw a black scab on one of my hens’ top of their foot. I think it’s bumblefoot and I’m ready to proceed going that route, but I wanted yalls opinion. She’s not limping, and it’s stayed the same size since yesterday. Thank you!

So I went out to feed the quail this morning and there were splats of blood all over the cage. Thought maybe there was a fight in there, though that would be strange because they've (1 roo & 6 hens) always been fine together. Though, 2 of the girls were just introduced in there alittle over a...

Hello, I have an orpington hen who is limping on her left foot(left foot being the hurt one) I checked her foot and bottom leg for Scaly Leg and for bumblefoot and any other injuries. I see symptoms of neither. She is still eating and drinking as normal, and she doesn't seem too bothered, so I'm...

I have a hen who must’ve got frostbite on her feet over the winter. She was acting normal until a week ago when one of my other hens was attacking her so I quickly scooped her up to check her out and saw her foot was bleeding and coming off!! Her whole foot is black and of the other foot only...
