    Speckled Sussex with Small Gash on Bottom, Red Skin, & Missing Feathers

    I have a Speckled Sussex hen, named Brynn, that is almost 10 months old. She weighs 5 lbs. 11.5 oz. About two months ago she began to lose feathers on her bum (my other SS also lost her bum feathers). Those feathers haven't grown back yet. I made a post when the problem originally happened and...

    Open gash showing muscle

    I was putting the chickens back in their run and noticed this under the wing of one of the girls. It looks a little old but I just held her two days ago after a dust bath. Did not recall seeing it then but was also trying to avoid the dust shower when input her down. Our rooster has been a bit...

    My girl has been injured. What can I do???

    I recently noticed my chicken has been injured by something. I initially thought it was a bald spot caused by our puppy, since he has been caught pulling her feathers out before. We've had the puppy for 4 months now, and what I thought to be a bald spot is actually more severe upon closer...

    My 4 1/2 month old drake got a nasty gash on the top of his head one evening a couple weeks ago, I kept him in a cage inside his flock's pen so he would be safe from being re-injured(and to keep him away from the mud). After a few days I let him rejoin the flock and his injury didn't get any...

    Neck Wound

    It seems as though a coyote has tried attacking one of my hens. She has a nasty wound on her neck with a hole. I thought there was grass stuck to the wound but instead it is the grass she has been eating that is coming out the side of her neck. She is still acting fine, walking, eating...

    My duck was attacked by something idk what! Advice needed

    Hello! So for a little background I got 3 Pekin ducklings back in March from tractor supply. I did a lot of research and raised them on our screened in porch with the intent to move them to the backyard when they’re bigger and eventually let them swim in our small lake in our backyard. Well this...

    Feathers ripped out and skin torn/muscle exposed (a LOT of pictures attached)

    Hi everybody. I have 12 barred rock pullets, probably about 8 weeks old. This morning, we had been free ranging them, and noticed one was not hanging out with the others. We found her hiding underneath a parked car, with her wing missing a lot of feathers. Upon further inspection it turned out...
