Hello! I'm a new chicken owner. I currently have 16 chickens of various breeds. Yesterday I noticed my Splash Cochin Bantam 9 weeks old, (I think that is the breed I know it's a bantam) was lame and not running in the yard with the flock. I picked her up to give her a look over and found that...
My duck richard i found out has a big bubble on his foot and it has a black scab looking thing on the outside of it. I looked it up and i think its bumblefoot. Duck doesnt seem like its hurting at all and i read that it couldve been from metal and we just put up a new house and fence for them so...
Hi, so I know this is a website about/for chickens, but I thought that similar principles applied to chicks apply when it comes to physical defects in keets.
Just got 10 Pearl Guinea keets today and noticed that one of them has a messed up leg, which juts out sideways as opposed to straight up...
one of my hens can't move her LEFT leg at all. From my knowledge, I don't think she broke her leg as she's in a cage? her leg doesn't have any signs of swelling or bumble-foot so I don't know what her diagnosis is. I isolated her from the flock and gave her some starter crumble and water, I...
I have my 3 year old pekin who has a long history. Within 2 years he’s been attacked by an animal long story short he’s the strongest duck and he bounced back each time. The last time this happened was in the fall, since then he’s all healed but a month later he started limping a tiny bit. He...
My Columbian Plymouth chick (around 3 days old, possibly more?) I just noticed her holding her foot up while eating today and checked it out. She has a dark red spot but seems to be eating, drinking and acting fine otherwise! I tried googling and couldn’t find anything clear so I thought I would...
We noticed our rooster had a swollen toe and foot and started limping badly so we took him to our vet (we tried to take him to an avian vet but were told because of shelter in place orders they are only seeing emergencies and they did not classify his problem as an emergency). Our vet did an...
I recently posted about a duck with niacin issues, those issues are slowly getting better due to the proper research and proper vitamins. Thankful for this page or else I would not have known what I needed. However, when my duck was at his worst, his foot had turned a purple color, he could not...
Anyone know what this could be? This hen is just over a year old. She is still acting normal but we noticed she is limping. We just had to put our other silkie hen down (they were hatched together- we got them from the same breeder) because she could no longer stand/walk and was in severe pain...
Sorry for typos, i am on mobile.

Hi everyone,
I searched and didn’t find anything that seems to apply to my duck so I’m hoping someone can help. One of my Cayuga ducks, Miss Chevious, can’t walk. She will be three years old in May. She lives inside with two ducklings we got her who are now full grown. She has chronic bumble...
Hi all!
One of our ducks has a floppy foot that is causing him to trip. It doesn't appear to be an issue with the leg, just the paddle. I don't believe it is bumble foot but I'm still new at this. We have steps in/out of the pool and he rarely uses them, preferring to topple the 8 inches over...
Quail has had a swollen foot for like 2 weeks. There are not quail vets and ect in my area so that's out. No sign of injuries, so sign of bumble foot, it's just swollen and semi mushy. All the swollen area is a purpleish color. I have her in with my baby quail in the brooder. I've started...
We just got back from a week of camping (our neighbors have been taking care of the chickens), and we realized last night that our silkie, Myrtle, is missing a toenail! The whole thing just kind of came off, I guess. There is a very small scab and we have not seen any blood. It doesn't seem to...
My guinea pig Timtam has spurs growing on her feet. I was cutting one off, all good. I cut the other off, and as I am doing it she pulls back her leg and tears the skin. She is bleeding but not much. I put her with some towels for a floor and hideys in the laundry sink with some food. I am...
Hi, i've found that my 3 weeks old black_runner_mix foots looking weird. Do you know what can it be? First i thought some wheat straw bedding sticks to it but after checking (after 15 min bath) i know it is some permanent part of the body. Doesn't look like bumblefoots i'v seen on internet. This...
8 year old Black Sex Link. She’s always had gnarly feet but lately her left one is noticeably larger. She isn’t limping or acting like it hurts. I’m thinking the dark spots on the bottom are maybe bumblefoot? There’s also a bump on the side that looks like a cyst or something. Any help is...
My dad brought me home two leftover chickens they had at tractor supply. One has a serious leg deformity. I do not know if this was aquried after hatching or what. According to my dad the employees say that it's been getting around rather well and it does sort of hop using its wings. The leg can...
