One of our young chicks has hurt her leg. She can’t walk on it and still manages to eat and drink by dragging herself. We don’t have the heart to kill her.

Hello! I feel absolutely terrible about how long it’s taken me to notice this, but one of my chickens has very bad swelling on one of her feet. However I do not see any scab that might indicate bumblefoot, only a small indentation in one area- does anyone have any ideas of what it might be ? She...

I just noticed that one of my chickens has an extremely swollen foot. I feel awful for not noticing sooner but she doesn’t appear to be limping or anything that I can see and her other foot is completely fine. She does seem to have a little bit of a hard time balancing on the roost with it...

Hi, I have a rooster who is about 4 to 5 months old. Ever since he was young he’s always just kind of laid around and not been super active. When he did start walking around I noticed that he would walk 1 foot on top of the other. The last month or so he’s secluded himself to hiding under bushes...

My little rooster Beastie seems to have broken a claw. I have blue kote, but what do I do? go to the vet? It look like there is a part of the nail barley holding on and a little barely bloody finger tip.
