My dad just found a chick in the middle of the road. I'm assuming a ~1 month old, female barred rock chick. She is scared and injured. I have never dealt with a foot injury like this before. She is limping, both of her feet are red and kindof swollen, and have a tiny amount of visible blood but...
I’ve been using neosporin without pain reliever, and spraying BANNIXX for CHIXX all around her neck.
She tries to get the neosporin off, probably swallows some, BUT …
I’m concerned that she had a swollen side last week, I posted and asked about it, I’m brand new to raising chickens, and adult...
So the adults held the 3week old chick down and pecked her neck until she was almost without her head.
I was so happy she was alive but bleeding. Seems like it happen late late Saturday morning like 2-4am.
Bloody, 8am I saw and grabbed her and the rest and noticed DUH the chicks will continue...
This 3 week old chick got attacked by the adults and the first 3 pictures are when it happened, the rest are from last night. Happened on Sunday early early morning possibly the night before.
seems to have gotten better but one side of her is extremely swollen.
She’s eating, drinking and...
I knew the adults didn’t like young chicks. I thought this age would be okay they’re like about 3 weeks old. I tested it out and there wasn’t problems. Plus we have ten new ones and was testing out who could stand being with the adults.
I put the youngest sapphire gems in, was told they were...

Our girl Bonita (Lavender Orpington): We made a huge mistake at the beginning by putting straw around the inside perimeter of their brooder. The primary substrate was wood flakes, but we wanted to insulate them with it being November cold. We quickly learned that it was too slick for their baby...
Hi, I have a 5 week old araucana chick who is very small for its age. About 4 days ago I was holding it less than a foot above the brooder and it flew off my hand, hit the brooder plate and landed on its side and hurt its leg.
I know it hurt its leg because it didn't get up - I put it back on...
Hello!
This is the sequel to chick buried alive by aggressive hen, not opening one eye.
This chick's name is Frankie (I will call Frankie "he" throughout this thread but it's just easier than saying she/he every single time I mention him. I don't actually know his gender.) Frankie was hatched...
We had a hen go broody and we let her keep the eggs. Unfortunately they did not all hatch at the same time so once the first one become mobile she left the remaining eggs in the nest. She’s been a great mama raising her single chick. We opted to keep them with the flock and mama won’t let any of...
So my boyfriend's chickens, silkys, had three babies, this little one was a bit delayed, and she was fine for two days, but she was getting picked on, then she got attacked tonight, I just got her a few hours ago, she's only three days old and she's got a bald spot on her neck with a gash kinda...

Hi everyone,
I have an 8-9 week old chick with an injured leg. I took her to the vet about 11 days ago and he x-rayed her and said her leg looks like it was injured when she was very little and just grew back wrong. He bandaged her and that was it. He isn’t a specialist so that’s all he could...
Hi there,
I have just hatched 13 chick eggs from a mixed batch. One of them was fine for a couple of days but has developed a horrible twist in its neck. I have been feeding it egg yolk and chick crumb. Can someone advise me on the best form of treatment please.
I have a 5 week week old chick that doesnt seem to be able to stand normal and im not sure how to help her. About a week and a half ago or so she seemed to had injured her leg as she was non stop chirping and wasnt standing or being active. I noticed she would try to lay on her side or pick up...
I just adopted a “runt” chick from a friend because all their other chicks were attacking it (pulling out feathers, pecking to the point of bleeding, stepping on it). We aren’t supposed to get the rest of our chicks for 3 days, but I had to rescue this poor girl/guy and save it from being killed...
Fiver is a 2 month old chick with an unknown leg injury. At first, it started off with a minor limp but it quickly got worse. I put him in a bird cage for 3 days and while I was changing the paper at the bottom I noticed his limp has gotten a lot worse, even with his time in the cage. Fiver’s...
My bantam hen recently had little chicks (like two days ago) and I went outside to today to check on them and realized one wasn’t there so I looked for it. I found it alone just quietly standing there but it’s eyes and ears were injured! I wondering what could’ve happened to it (I’m guessing...
I have a silkie chick that Is acting off. This has started in the last few days. She tries her very best to keep up with the rest of the chicks and she is moving around to eat and drink, scratching in the bedding etc. But I've noticed she cannot fully lift up her neck. I'm not sure if I'm...
