    Very young baby with badly infected foot! Help!

    Brought home from the feed store today. The entire foot is swollen and purplish. Skin is split between toes, I think from being stretched so tight. There is also a small split in the bottom of her foot from the pressure, got a lot of clear yellow fluid out of that, but it is not bumblefoot. A...

    Treatment for swollen head due to injury and E. coli infection

    Hi, I have a chicken with a head injury from another chicken pecking it. This morning she has a very swollen head, the wound is infected, most likely from E. coli introduced in the cut. I’m thinking about giving antibiotics immediately. Sulfa? It needs to be something I can dissolve in water...

    Bump of my hen’s face

    Hello BYC community! I have noticed the last few days a few bumps on my Plymouth Rock hen’s face - just above her nostril. It’s a bit larger on one side than the other but it is on both sides of the face. It’s a bit soft and looks kind of like a scab but I’m wondering if it may be a respiratory...

    Duck Amoxicillin dose?

    How much of this should I give to a duck and how often? And how should I give it to her. I’ve been treating a duck’s wounds for over a month, I’ve taken it to the vet twice. The most recent time I asked them to check the wounds and see how they looked and if I should give it any antibiotics. It...

    Hen with a swollen eye (with photo)

    Hello all, My hen has a swollen eyelid. I didn’t see anything stuck in her eye and I’m wondering if anybody knows what could be the cause —I’m hoping it is not related to a respiratory infection. She’s been healthy and is about four years old. She is acting normally, the only change in her is...

    Deformed wing

    Hello About 24 hours ago we hatched 7 chicks. Most were fine but one has a deformed wing. Normally I would just wait and see how it did. I already know some just die even when they look normal. I'm worried this time because it looks swollen. But I don't know if this is due to the deformity or...

    Bumble foot.

    Hi my Rouen female has bumble foot. I worked on her foot last night, when I was done I put copaiba and coconut oil on the wound and wrapped it. This is what it looks like this morning. Does it look like I got all the infection? Do I need to work on her some more? Thank you

    My Rooster has a fat lip :-(

    Earlier yesterday, I was out with my chickens and it looked like my rooster had a piece of debris on his eye. I figured I’d check him out later when he goes in to roost for the night. As my chickens were filing in, I noticed his face looked a little strange. They went up to roost, that’s when...

    HELP!!! Blood and Worm in Stool! (graphic poop images)

    Baby Seabright not thriving

    I’ve had this baby about two weeks. He was probably a week old when I got him. A few days later one of his eyes stuck shut. I used warm water and a q-tip to gently help it open. It still doesn’t look right. Today I noticed a small sore by its beak which looked like a piece of its food. When I...

    I believe my hen has a respiratory illness

    I have an older hen (10 yrs) and for the past few weeks she has been exhibiting signs of what I would think is a mild respiratory illness or sinus infection (I say mild because she's doing great apart from her symptoms and is very alert and active for her age). Her symptoms include: occasional...

    Tapeworm

    Hi. My chicken has been recently been treated for tapeworm, maybe a month ago, and today he had tape segments in his poop again. I wormed him using worm out gel 50ml and that worked. I was wondering if I can use it again in less than the three months treatment period safely? He is about 3 months...

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...

    Injured Feet - Bandages? Leg Mites? Ideas?

    Hi all, Our poor 1 year old GLD just bounced back from a pretty severe case of tandem bumblefoot (bottom of both feet. After surgery and with lots of R&R she bounced back beautifully. Of course, upon being back outside for her first few weeks she ended up scraping the tops of both feet pretty...

    Possible Infection?

    As a disclaimer to any dumb statements/questions I may pose, I'll say: We are brand new to keeping chickens. Everything we know has been learned online and/or from a few friends we know who "grew up" with chickens. So, we started with a small flock of only 3 birds. Today marks one full week that...

    Respiratory Infection (Duck)

    Our duck Boston has been having respiratory issues since November. In November she developed a high pitched cough. It was rare so we thought nothing of it. In January she was open mouth breathing. We took her to ER, she was treated with antibiotics, antifungals, and dewormer. She got so bad she...
