    Chick just hatched/assisted out of shell - injured leg and question

    This morning a teacher at my school noticed a chick with legs kicking and stuck in its shell so she assisted him out; its leg now shows an injury and there is a bulge with black sticking out between its legs: is this a slightly out of line anus that I can easily clean, or do you think it is...

    Dislocated Quail Ankle

    Something transpired today where as one of my quail has dislocated their ankle/knee (whatever you decide to call it) and it seems completely unable to move, toes included. I know it is that joint because I felt it and it was loose. I love these birds but they're in pretty rough shape, I just got...

    1 week old chick with injured leg

    Hi all So I have been reading the board but am not sure if this is a slipped tendon. When I try to feel if the tendon has slipped I cannot feel anything that seems out of place. I also cannot push anything back in place. When I run my finger over the flat side of the joint, it feels like the...

    Chicken leg injury

    We have a backyard chicken who is 5- she recently developed a leg injury we can’t diagnose. The only symptom is that she won’t walk, she limps when walking and doesn’t want to get up. Her leg is not warm, tender to the touch or enlarged. During and briefly after her nightly epsom salt bath...

    Runner duck with dislocated hock

    Hi all! My runner drake dislocated his hock yesterday. I was standing there when it happened. He was laying down and stretched his leg behind him and the leg then stayed that way when he tried to get up. I picked him up to try to see what the problem was and I felt the hock pop back in. I took...

    Broken leg? Injury healed crooked.

    So this curious girl went through the fence with our speckled Sussex and got hurt. The Sussex looked like she was in bad shape so I isolated and took care of the wounds. She’s fine now. This girl only looked like she had a tiny nick on her leg and scrape on her back. Those both healed quick and...

    HURT LEG??

    My 5-month-old Polish Bantam Rooster has suddenly started limping. At first, I thought he would trip because he couldn't see (His head feathers are very big), but I've been observing him more closely. He walks around normally but sometimes stumbles while walking and he sits down when he eats. He...

    What could cause a warm, red-tinged foot that's NOT bumblefoot?

    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...

He hops around on his good leg with the help of his wings for support. I haven't seen him move the bad leg at all, but...
