    Could scaly leg mites be causing this "infection" at / above rooster's hocks?

    I have a beautiful brahma / rhode island rooster who is about three years old. We noticed him kicking his right leg out behind him a lot. Almost like he was being irritated by something. I had recently moved him into a new run while I added new hens so I thought maybe he was just being sassy...

    We have been out of town on vacation since 7/9/21 (today is the 18th) - that morning I did my final checks of the chicken coops (two coops - one holding 7 hens, the one in question lives here, who are about 1 year and 5 months old. The other coop has 5 hens who were born in March) and everything...

    Hey everyone! Looking for some first aid advice! It appears that one of my hens got her head through some chicken wire and tugged and she tore her ear lobe right down. I currently have her separated from everyone else, cleaned the wound, and have given her some electrolyte water. She is eating...

    Swelling Around Eye - Neighbor's Chicken

    One of my neighbor's chickens recently came to me with a bad limp. I took her in to rest in a big dog crate for a few days and she healed beautifully, so I had released her back to her flock. Since then she's been attached to my hip. Sadly, a few days later, I noticed one of her eyes is swollen...

    Penicillin Dosage

    About 3 weeks ago a fox attacked one of my hens, I didn’t realize until today that he actually got deeper than the feathers. There’s a huge open infected wound I found tonight. I cleaned it up with peroxide and water and rubbed some Neosporin triple antibiotic on there for tonight. I have some...

    Odd bald spot with an odor on my hen

    I have a hen who is definitely getting up in years now. I've had her 6 years, she was full grown when I got her. Anyway, she still is very active and spunky normally. I recently dealt with 2 problems simultaneously with her. We had a Northern fowl mite infestation which I treated with warm baths...

    Anyone know what this was?

    One of our hens has been limping on and off for a bit now. We did notice a toe missing (we assumed frostbite after a cold winter?) and some swelling. It seemed to get better and then worse for about 2 weeks now. We had caught her a few times looking for any black scabs (suspected bumble foot)...

    Help! My Ash isn't doing well!

    While I solved the one problem with my baby Pepper and her slipped tendon, I'm faced with another. My 6mo silkie roo, Ash, has been fighting something for a while that I thought I knew what it was. For two nights, I noticed he'd be the only one with an empty crop before bed, so I'd have to...

    Silkie With Bumblefoot?

    Hello everyone, Let me preface this by saying that I am a grad student that lives at my parents house. If I seem uninvolved in this situation, that's why. My mom does most of the chicken work! Recently, one of our silkies has developed swollen toes and feet. I noticed it about a week ago. Her...

    Our sweet “Maggie” is about 1 year old. When she was 5month old, she started limping. We noticed there was a small bump between toes. We figured it was like a bumblefoot. We have treated bumblefoot on chicken and geese by ourselves before, but we were not able to hold her down to provide the...
