Our two year ISA Brown, Maple, has come down with a prolapsed vent. I didn’t notice it yesterday, so I think it must be relatively new. She is still moving about, wanting to eat, and acting like her normal self. We have soaked her bottom in hot water, but after cleaning her up noticed some hard...
Hello, my 1 year old tom was chased by a dog and fell on a hard surface a few times. It’s been 3 days and he now has bruising along his underside (chest and belly). He won’t stand but he is eating and drinking. How long should I expect for recovery? Anything I should be doing up help him?
Hey all. I have 2 mallard ducks. I found one today sitting on the ground, unable to walk. There are no visible injuries, but it tries to walk and one of its legs give out. It can stand but that leg is bothering her. Any tips? Thanks in advance
How to Help a Chicken with an Eye that has been wounded

Hi there! I'm veeeery new to this and just got my first flock of buttons- have done a bunch of research but constantly afraid of messing up for these little guys. I recently got my small flock of 6 buttons, still figuring out the sex of a few of them - particularly two identical white ones I...
Someone posted these poor guys on Reddit yesterday. She said they are all living on a local pond in Odell, Oregon. She has room to try and take in one or two of them and is going to try and get the Welsh Harlequin tomorrow, as it seems to be injured. She’s contacted local rescues and animal...
This past Sunday night we had a fox attack our ducks, we lost one, one was unharmed, and this one, Bertha, was injured. She has four wounds (two on her chest, two on her back) that seem to be healing really well. We have been cleaning them up twice a day (saline, iodine, and antibiotic...
So my rooster got attacked by a fox a couple days back. He’s still alive and I’ve put blue spray over all the bite marks. I’m feeding him by hand and he’s taking the food but not doing anything himself. He’s not holding his head up. My main question is, do I carry on with the love and care...
One of our chickens was attacked by a hawk but luckily we went outside and scared it off before it could kill the chicken although it left a huge wound on the side of her face where her ear is (i believe). We have Neosporin, vetericyn plus, and blu-kote that we are putting on the wound as well...
About five months ago, our 5-month-old Croad Langshan rooster developed a case of what appeared to be wryneck. He had the classic neck twist/starry-eyed gaze and seems to be favoring one side of his body so that when he walked he leaned into one side more than the other. We brought him inside...
i have made a post about our chicken midnight before, her leg had stopped working and crumpled up and she couldn’t walk and then next thing you know she’s fine. she even looks dead and i honestly don’t know how she’s still alive.
anyways, this time around i open our coop grabbing some eggs, our...
I got a chick about a week ago and noticed she was limping. There’s not a ton of stuff I could find on it other then if she can get to food and water she’ll be fine so I left it. She does kind of get stepped on but nothing bad she doesn’t really walk more of a hop around. I was looking at it...
I’ve had 2 ducks in the last 3 months die identically, both ducks were fully grown and had beaks torn off, nothing else was hurt or injured, eyes were still intact, bodies were intact, and no ruffles feathers. I have other ducks and I really want to find out what’s doing this to my pets! They...
My olive egger, Periwinkle, was in the trees and we’re about to have a heavy snow. When I tried to grab her she jumped down and I ended up ripping out a fist full of tail feathers. I read there are blood feathers back there but it’s very dark to tell if she’s going to bleed. Her rump is bare now...
Hi all!
I have a 2-3 year old RIR (I think) lady that I found standing still in the run last Sunday (Jan 16). Her left leg is on the ground but she will not put any weight on it to walk so she is mostly laying down or standing in one spot when I let her out of the dog crate. She does not hold...
Hello everyone I have a smooth paint silkie hen who hurt her foot/leg. Born in August. Not sure how she hurt herself. She was limping so I took her and put her in a separate cage. Her toes are curled, and she keeps sticking her leg out when trying to walk. No signs of a broken bone or swelling...
Hi all. So this pekin isn't mine, but stays in the stall with my fostered orphan goose. They've been together since my goose was still a gosling because she had a bad staff infection and had to be separated from her flock back in I believe April or the very beginning of the summer. They get...
I have a bantam rooster (I'm not sure what breed he is) that may have possibly gotten frostbite this morning. 🙁
His brother that is the same breed had black tips on his comb ever since he was a baby, but this just popped up today. We had a cold morning, under 20°.
Is this permanent damage? Or...
