    Broken Leg or Hip?

    We have a chicken who we believe was born with this problem. One leg will go completely backwards and she hobbles around. Any ideas what to do? (Sorry for the vertical video. I didn't take 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...

    16 WEEK OLD HEN NOT STANDING ON ONE LEG

    We let our 16 week old hens free range today and one of our Easter Egger hens is now not standing on one of her legs. She tries to use it when she walks and gets around but, mostly sits around. I picked her up and felt her bones. Nothing obviously broken, no bumble foot, no blood, no missing...

    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...

    Best recovery diet for bone fracture with possible tendon and nerve damage?

    Sadly, I think my sweet, 6mo polish chicken, Big Bird (BB) suffered a fracture to her hock and an injury to her tendon last Friday, and there appears to be a little nerve damage as well but still good circulation. Twice I've taken her to the vet to be put down (my husband is attached to this...

    Chick limping?

    Well this morning has been crazy in chicken terms:th I woke up to a presumed case of leg mites with the big girls, and an issue with one of my new chicks.

    Silkie Chick with leg problem!

    I'm having an issue with my favorite little Silkie chick (why does it always have to be the faves!). I've had him for a week, drove 3 hrs to get them from a reputable breeder that I've used before and while with its mama, he walked fine. Once we got home and I put them in their new home/brooder...

    Worried About Reintroducing a Limping Chicken

    We have a Speckled Sussex that has been recovering inside from a Vitamin B deficiency (pretty sure as she had curled toes and stopped walking, then improved over time with Poly-vi-Sol) She is doing a lot better than she was but is not fully healed. It's been a couple of months. She still limps...

    Knee buckling issue on Gander? (See video)

    My 9 week old gander has an odd knee buckle while standing that I noticed about a week ago. I've checked his legs and feet and all seems normal. It is pretty much constant, and doesn't seem to effect him in any sort of way regarding mobility. Just concerns me and want to make sure it is nothing.

    Mangled Duck Foot

    We found our duck by the pond in the morning and he was all bloody. He let us just walk right up to him and pick him up. We found that it appears his foot may have been attacked by a snapping turtle. One of his little toes are broken and the bleeding did stop. We have soaked his foot in epsom...
