Hey all! Last night my border collie was not paying attention and ran over my Khaki Campbell, Amelia. she hurt her leg and I’m not sure where in the leg is hurt. She is standing on her other leg and is using her wing to help her move when she does. I have her separated for the flock and blocked...
Smidge went MIA last night when everyone else went to bed. She made her way to the coop sometime during the night, my daughter also heard a commotion coming from the coop sometime in the night. This morning Smidge was back but unable to stand/walk. She won't eat/drink either.
Not sure what is...
My chicken OJ who is 6 has maggots and can’t move her left leg much. It seemed like she couldn’t move her left leg back and can’t walk on the leg, she is still walking sometimes but does it on her other leg. It seemed to be a hip dislocate or brake, but after looking closer I saw a large coin...
I have a hen who cannot stand on one of her legs. She falls down if she tries. She cannot extend it fully, it is not swollen but doesn't like pressure on the knee area.
Any suggestions to what I can try?
I have a blue laced barnevelder that was surprisingly attacked either early this morning or at night….. and I do believe it was by another hen. Her beak is injured up high but not completely broken… in fact she can eat and drink, whew….. but she won’t put weight on her leg and that is we’re all...
One of my buff Orpingtons has a super swollen foot. It’s about double the size of her other one and she can barely walk. It’s also very hot to the touch. we’ve had issues with bumble foot before so I thought it was that but when I cleaned her foot there was no abscess or scab. I didn’t notice...
My chick, River, is dragging her leg after a cat attack. She is not eating or drinking and we are syringe feeding her and using an eye dropper to give her water. We have been putting Neosporin and Vetricyn on the tiny wound. (It’s not bad) I really need help QUICK. What should I do. I’m raising...
My black jersey giant hen has been favoring her leg. She wouldn’t move much and just sits so one might just assume she is broody. However because she was favoring her leg I’m not so sure. I am 19 and had my chickens ever since my junior year in high school (it’s been like 4 years maybe) I’m not...
We have a Buff Laced Polish hen that we were trying to introduce to the flock we have today. She had no issues with mobility before we introduced her. We were supervising when our rooster started beating up on her pretty bad. We got her out and when we brought her inside, we noticed she was...
We have 11 ducks currently, well 13 but 2 of those are still in the house, waiting to be introduced to the others; they’re 7 weeks old and half Pekin, half Cayuga. My husband went to put them in their bathtub this morning and Loco (the male) fell out of my husband’s arms onto the floor. Later, I...
Hi! So I just went outside to check on my quail and I found my male's feet were all entangled in string and so I quickly cut it and brought him inside. Heis sitting in my bathroom sink with his feet in the was and the string cut through to his skin. Other than him sometimes holding one foot up...
Hello, I have a leghorn hen who was pushed of her roost this morning and landed on her foot funny. She now limps as she walks but she still puts some weight on it, she just sits down after too much movement. I’ve also examined her leg and it doesn’t seem to be broken so maybe she just sprained...
So a few days ago my chicken hurt her leg and since then I’ve kept her separate from the others and occasionally giving her half a table of aspirin. This morning I forgot to cut it in half and gave her a full 325 mg tablet. It’s been a few hours and she seems fine, can this be deadly and if yes...
We had 5 ducks hatch, all are well, except one. Piper holds up one leg and it doesn’t extend- photos attached. It was like that when she hatched. She’s smaller than the rest, but they do act as a “guardian” to her, keeping her in the center when they walk around the yard. Any ideas on how we can...
Hi I have a 4 week old turkey. Yesterday she was all fine and normal walking around and today she has one leg that bends the opposite direction idk what to do I'm separating her from the others shes not crying in pain or anything shes walkingish eating and drinking. When I held her to look at it...
Our Sweet little rooster barely hobbled out of the coop this morning. I checked the surveillance from yesterdays and it looks like he might have had a slight little limp but was still able to walk and run without any issues. But today he's not even walking and is acting like he has no...
We got guinea keets this morning and everyone else is doing well except for this one little dude. He can’t stand or walk. His bad leg has his foot completely closed. We are able to stretch it out but he refuses to use it. I tried making a little cast to support him in spreading his toes. He...
I have a young rooster, who is maybe 4 months old, who has a swollen leg. It looks like it is the joint part where the leg starts that is swollen. He was getting beat up by the ladies so he is currently separated. His foot is not swollen and I don’t see any scabs or cuts on his leg that would...
