My one year old welsh harlequin Sandy has a hurt wing. My guess would be from our Rouen drake sparky mounting her, but really not sure what happened. We have a flock of the two above and 6 chickens from last summer, and then three more ducks and a goose this summer. Her wing was hanging low...
Yesterday I noticed one of my hands hanging out sitting around, but I just assumed she was doing her own thing however, today I noticed that she’s just sitting there staring very low energy. When I went over to her, she didn’t even budge and when I picked her up, she was extremely docile with...
If this title reads like a clickbait article that's because I really need people to click on it. Paragraph three for the actual problem. Paragraph 1 for the dramatic retelling where I self flagellate for perpetuating this disaster. It started last Monday, when I walked outside to feed the birds...
Hi,
I have a lavender Guinea fowl who somehow got stuck on her back while we were at the store. In her attempt to get upright, she scratched herself raw under her wing.
We got a small coop kit for a hospital coop. We are keeping her there so we can easily catch her to clean/ slather antibiotic...
My pullet has been picked on off and on for about 2 months. At first she only got chased. They started plucking feathers a few weeks ago, but it wasn't bloody so I left her in. Last week her back got really bloody, so I made her a saddle. Now her back is healing, but yesterday everyone was...
Don't know why or how he gets in that position, until I look for him now as this has happened quite a few times.
Always struggling seems to be on his right side, wing always full out. He allows me to pick him up to upright him then shakes himsefl off
and run away seemingly unharmed. 1 day I...
Images attached. Have a hen who today is showing a slight sag / holding it low and out with one of her wings.
She is also experiencing some molting. We have sprinkled the coop and run with diatomaceous incase had any kites that are visiting at night. We do not see any on hens.
She is moving...
Yesterday, we found a wild purple finch in the jaws of our neighbor's cat outside. We rescued it and put in in a box with timothy hay and wild finch feed. He seems to be doing well for now. We haven't seen any blood on him, but his wing is off to the side and he can't fly. Here is a picture of...
I have a 1 year old Cornish X hen, I received her from an associate because they bought her by accident from a Tractor Supply Co. along with a some other chicks. her coupe has a "bedroom" that she sleeps and lays eggs in, and the doorway is roughly two feet from the coupes floor, and has a ramp...
Rough day. My 1 month old partridge Silkie drown and my 1 month old Ameraucana has a pretty bad wing injury. Please help, I can’t lose them both.
I have six ducks and two chickens. The chickens are the oldest at a month, the ducklings are two weeks. Anyway, at night we keep them in the coop and...
Hello everyone,
Almost 48 hours ago, two of my hens were attacked by a fox. I was able to rush/scream and otherwise scare the foxes into dropping my girls, who were each inside the foxes mouth and about to be carried away. One of my hens walked away unscathed, the other was stunned and has an...
I have a 6 month old drake with an injured wing. It hangs down and he acts like he can’t fold it all the way in ( it won’t lay flat against his body). Should I try wrapping it back into a normal position or let it be?
Hello..
Today has been quite the trial-error day, but so far my chick Raptor seems to be stable. She's a gold laced wyandotte x rhode island red cross, and has so much spunk. She's my favorite, hand raised, but hatched under my hen March 30th. My coop has four layers of fencing, the innermost is...
1 of my roosters looks like he got into a fight with something, his beak is broken, one of his wings are injured , and one of his feet are bloody.
I noticed last night that his foot was a little bloody, but I didn't notice anything else, until a little bit ago when feeding them.
Is there...
Well, i've been infatuated with chickens/quails for quite some time after visiting a family friend's house who owns chickens and quails. Anyways this person was giving his quails away, because he's been busy with his other pets, so we decided to take them in. There's five jumbo cortnix...
