Recently my coturnix quail developed a squinty, irritated eye. Now I found his ear covered in a scab-type material with his ear hole clogged. I cleaned the area with saline and applied a little bit of Triple Polysporin, but I didn't want to dig anything out of his ear just in case. My regular...
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...
My cream legbar is at the very bottom of the pecking order and the smallest hen of the bunch. 3 days ago we noticed one of her earlobes was swollen with this weird dark spot in the middle. We can’t tell if it’s getting worse, but it’s definitely not getting better.
Is this something to worry...
I have a 10 month old Pekin who has developed a nasty limp on her right leg a week ago.
I inspected for cuts or bumble -foot and didn't find evidence of either. I dose all my ducks with niacin supplements while they're growing and currently as they are on a chicken/mixed flock layer feed. Her...

My 18 month old BO seems to intermittently have a red-tinged foot. A few days ago I noticed a subtle hobble or limp but it was barely detectable. She was still getting around fine and jumping up and down from roosts. Since then it seems to have faded, but today I noticed one of her feet/legs...
My 1 1/2 yo Wellsummer hasn’t been laying for around a week, and yesterday when I let the chickens out I noticed she was waddling funny. I checked and she’s not egg-bound but that whole area looks red and inflamed. Any ideas?
Hi everyone, I need help.
So last night around 11, I heard my birds squawking so I went and turned on the outside light. Didn't see anything, I hoped the light would scare away anything that might have been there, and I went back to bed. So much for dogs, they didn't even lift their heads...
Hello, first time poster here. We have been trying to figure what is going on with our birds and now we are getting desperate, for we fear their feathers won't grow back in time for winter. Our first flock is almost a year old now and consists of 4 hens (2 ISA browns, and 2 Barred Rocks) and 2...
Hi everyone. So i am dealing with a bit of an issue with one of my pekins.
She had bumblefoot back in 2017, it got petty bad, I won't lie but i took her to the vet and got antibiotics for her, wrapped her feet and it went away, she just had some excess skin on the bottom of her feet from the...
Today I accidentally shut the coop door as one of our baby chicks was trying to get out. I caught her little neck and the minute I saw her I opened it. She seemed fine at first, but then she was kinda just layin down to one side and when she got up she was favoring 1 leg. I cute her in a...
Hi folks,
We're relative newcomers to the fun and rewards of backyard chicken raising and have run into an issue we have not been able to identify online. Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated. Our chicken has an inflamed or perhaps infected wing that started out as minor inflammation...

10 month old Barred Rock pullet. Home hatched from an incubator, so no vaccines.
Yesterday, I saw one of my birds kind of limping/having weakness on her left leg yesterday. She could walk fine and was drinking so I assumed that she might of fallen off the roost and sprained something. She's near...
