injured foot

so about a little over two weeks ago, I noticed my rooster limping after two days of him limping on and off I decided to check his feet and his legs and didn’t notice anything. so I originally thought he may have just jumped down and landed wrong but I’ve still been noticing him limping on and...

I have about a 1 year old pekin. He hasn’t had any issues until the last week when he started dragging his feet. He’s fine with walking some but will just need to sit down and rest. I occasionally will find him walking fine but it looks like he’s dragging his feet when he walks. No swelling or...

I have a neighbor with a small backyard flock. One of their chickens has an injured foot and mostly lays down. I went over to look at it and got some pictures. I want to help this chicken because these people are not properly taking care of her. They are starving her and providing no water or...

My 4 week old brahma has had an injured foot since we got her at a few weeks ago, it seems like she can't really move her toes but she's been walking on it pretty normally until a few days ago. Now shes been keeping it curled up and has been walking on her toes and she has a hard swollen purple...

Hey y'all! I made a post about the actual injury a few days ago but TLDR; we had a 2 week old sebright chick get out of the brooder in the middle of the night and land on our rats cage, and she got bit through the cage on her foot and knee/hip. The rats have been relocated to a different room, I...

A dog got at my hens and while I don’t think it actually got to this one I believe she injured her leg or foot getting away. She can’t put any weight on it and is using her wing to balance and hobbles over. Vet can’t find a break. She can’t sprawl her foot, it’s scrunched up like this all the...

My 1 ½ year old turken rooster did something to his feet and beak. He had gotten into a fight with my other roo about 6-7 months ago and his injuries aren't any better. He's not limping, but one toe has a nasty cut and the other is swollen. We can't get anything out of the swollen toe, so we...

My chicken went missing for a few days and I eventually found her wedged tightly upright between some rocks. She was not there the day before so I feel she was only in that position for 24 hours. I extracted her by pushing upwards and she was quite stuck. I put her quietly in my shed and gave...

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...

I have a young hen who is suddenly not putting weight on her left foot. She has been this way for a few days now. She is eating and drinking but not putting any weight at all on the leg. Yesterday I did not notice anything on the foot that might indicate an injury or infection but today I do see...

Noticed one of my girls has toe that wont curls and is pointed in an odd direction. Picked her up and had a feel around the joint, it's solid and there doesn't seem to be any swelling. The toe won't curl after the affected joint and it seems like the other toes on the effected foot curl slightly...

I have a hen that at one week into her second ever brood, I tried to sneak under her an abandoned egg that was days from hatching. She did great finishing it. It hatched. She boosted it from the nest. I think: the timing wasn't right and she knew it. Understandable. I took the chick to nurse and...

Is it normal for geese to lose nails?? About a week ago I noticed the back bit on my goose’s foot had been bleeding and he’d lost the nail there. I stressed so bad about him getting it stuck somewhere and hurting himself! 🙁Today I noticed the back of his foot bleeding, this time the opposite...

When I let my 6 hens out this morning, one remained on the perch, Ethel. Yesterday she ran around fine. She is the lowest on the pecking order, and has had an issue with shaking her head and walking backwards for several months. She eats drinks and is in good health. She will not stand on her...

Hello! On every of my chickens, Rosa, has a very bad limp. When we looked at her foot, there didn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary. 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...

Hello, I have an elderly (around 7-8 year old) red sex-link hen, and for the last couple of years her feet and ankles have become more and more swollen. I don’t believe it’s bumblefoot, because there are no wounds or cores on the pads of her feet. Her foot pads, ankles, and toes are just...

Hi everyone, I was taking care of my girls scaly legs last night (the constant battle) and noticed that the sole of my welsummers foot is very cracked. Is this something that can be caused by scaly leg mites or maybe the beginnings of bumblefoot? She doesn’t appear to be in pain or discomfort...

Hey gang! I hatched some silkies on Sunday. One of the chicks needed to be assisted during the hatch and has had some issues. At first, it was expected weakness and flopping around. The chick was standing on both feet until last night. It's not putting any weight on one of its feet and holds...

My 1 and a half year old Khaki Campbell Duck Scoot is limping. Doesn’t have any black spots like bumble foot and doesn’t seem to hurt her to touch it. Maybe sprain? We did an Epsom salt bath and wrapped it up. The limp isn’t terrible but it has been around for a few days. The foot looks alittpe...

I have a small flock of seven hands. They all got along very well up until about three weeks ago when I let them out of their coop for some outside time in the evening one of them came flopping out limping badly and missing a ton of her feathers. The other hens jumped on top of her and began...
