    Please help! Limping Chicken!

    One of my hens is limping! Earlier in the day she wasn’t (not that I noticed anyway) and now she’s limping. She will only go so far then lay down. She is also spreading her wing out when she walks. Maybe to keep balance? I’m going to monitor her but was just wondering if anyone has had...

    Putting chicks with a disabled hen?

    My family and I have had a rescued hen that was permanently injured as a chick while she was on the streets. We raised her, and since then we have always considered her a family pet not an animal with an actual purpose. Currently she is in a comfy cage inside the house, and she cannot walk at...

There was no swelling, visible cuts or puncture wounds, and nothing seemed obviously broken. She didn’t react when we gently squeezed her leg and foot. She...

    Hen with injured leg? Help!

    Hi all, I went to put my chickens in their coop tonight and found my 2yo buff Orpington hen lying on her back next to the ramp, with one foot in the air, toes curled. I picked her up and did not see any sign of injury, but when I put her down again she walked a few steps and almost fell. She is...

    Extremely swollen foot!! Bumblefoot, scaly leg mites, or something else!?

    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...

    Limping chicken

    One of my chickens appears to have a bit of a limp and seems to be resting more. She even let me catch her and pick her up easily which she usually doesn’t really do so I’m a little bit worried. I just noticed it when I let them out to free range a couple hours ago. At first she seemed fine...

    My 5 year-old rooster is now inside of our rehab cage in the garage away from the coop. He has always been ornery and aggressive to others, and would rarely charge and try to stick me. He has calmed down over the years after being dethroned from the head of the flock after running the roost for...

    I have a mixed flock of rainbow layers from McMurray that are a little over a year old. My very petite Egyptian Fayoumis hen, Ellen, has a bad leg sprain and is now in isolation. I think Ellen is too small for a my Easter Egger and Wyandotte roos and was likely injured during mating. Since...

    SICK CHICKEN!

    One of our hens seems to be lame in one leg. She holds it up constantly, tries not to be on her feet that much, and limps around. It’s been going on for the past couple days. I’ve examined her feet to look for signs of cuts, scrapes, sores, but most importantly signs of Bumble Foot. She has a...
