My 7/8 week old chick has a broken right leg. It seems disconnected from the joint seeing as it hang. I really don’t want to kill her, I barely have the heart to try and examine her leg and hear her peep in pain.
I came home from work to this today
Basically she somehow got stuck under the chicken wire and now all he feathers under her wing are completely gone! The skin looks raw and red and I feel so bad for her. Is there anything I can do?! I can try to get a better picture of her now that she’s not...
I have a white Turkey. Were I work we have a "chick day" where we sell over 3000 chicks in 1 day. One of the turkeys had a hurt leg and was limping. All the other turkey chicks were trampling him and were gonna kill him so I took him home. His leg healed up and he began walking normal. He is...
three days ago I bought a “baby” female quail. Someone had returned her for a reason which is unknown, and I saw her and instantly fell in love. I also bought an adult male that day, and they’re doing fine. No fighting nor trying to breed. My two other roosters try to mate with both of them...
I have 12 chicks that are now about 6 weeks old. Today I moved them from the brooder to a 5X5 Coop me and my Grandpa built.
I noticed that one of my bantams head was missing quite a few feathers so as I looked deeper into this issue and I noticed some blood at the base of what was left of them...
We have owned chickens for a very many years, and a couple months ago, after raising 8 more chicks to add to our flock, have established a good flock of 14 hens, very nice and docile, and without problems-- until we started having problems.
First of all one hen got stuck in between the food bin...
One of my hens has a droopy comb with scab like marks on it that have been there as long as I have had her. I received this chicken along with my two other laying hens on 12/22/17. She shows no signs of discomfort and acts/seems very healthy! In Fact she is the more dominant bird of the three...
My chicks are about 3 weeks old and I've had them for two weeks. I just noticed today that most of them have what appears to be peck marks on their backs! Feathers are missing, and some are even bleeding! What is going on and why??
- It's the same spot on all of them.
- Some have it worse than...
Today when I went out to our chicken coop, there was one of our hens huddling in the corner, I was sure she was dead because she wasn't moving, so I tried to pull her out, but the second I touched her she jumped up and started running away. The second she got her head out of the corner the rest...
My pullet (pretty sure she’s a Cochin) has trouble putting a leg down.
I did take her to the vet, but they’re urban vets not accustomed to seeing chickens. I thought it was mareks, and will know tomorrow. But now I’m thinking it’s a leg injury. I don’t know how to attempt to diagnose or treat...
recently my peahen has been acting strange. She is uninterested in food and I’m not sure if she’s been drinking. She seems tired as every time I find her she is sitting down additionally she usually roosts in a tree but has taken to sleeping on the window. She’s usually quite bossy but is acting...

So it's a bit of a story...
The flock of 17 decided to attack one of my older Mistral Gree/barred rock hens along with her matching sister Beth. They pecked the older hen (Chanty)'s eye out. They gave Beth a few cuts but nothing like poor Chanty. Anyways I took care of Chanty and she recovered...
My Wilma is missing several feathers from her head.. Does anyone seem to have any ideas as to what has happened? She wasn't missing any feathers yesterday, we had an issue with rats getting in their coop a few weeks ago (but we believe that to be remedied), she started laying eggs about 4-6...
Hello everybody,
I just found this today, and I am in need of some help!
Yesterday my girlfriend and I got a call saying that there was a scared looking turkey along side the highway near my town. Naturally we hopped right up and zoomed in to rescue the poor guy. I don't have any fowls, but...
So yesterday I found a mom chicken walking around with 3 healthy looking babies, I ended up finding her nest and 3 other healthy babies as well. After further inspection though I found 2 baby chicks that look like they had been squished under some eggs that didn't hatch. I put the mom and all...
My hen was attacked by the other chickens. I didn't notice until it was too late. She is separated from them now but really injured. They pecked a deep cut in her neck and tried to peck her eyeball out. It looks really infected and was sealed shut with yellow goop. She is cut in a bunch of...
My ducks right foot/toes seem swollen, I'm not really sure what from or why, but she is limping pretty badly. Maybe a snake bit her foot, she might've gotten a splinter, sore from water, bumblefoot; I really don't know. Also the hurt foot doesn't seem to open all the way on the left of the...
