injury chick

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I thought I'd ask here. A chick of ours recently gotten attacked by some other chickens, and unfortunately they damaged her badly. It seems she's missing both eyes, if she were to make it. How would one exactly care for a blind chick?

My Jersey Giant Chicks are 10 days old (The flock is 15 straight run chicks from a hatchery). This afternoon, I heard screeching from the brooder. Dashing to the brooder I find several chicks pecking at one chick's vent. I scoop up the chick and find it is bleeding from the outside of the vent...

Fiver is a 2 month old chick with an unknown leg injury. At first, it started off with a minor limp but it quickly got worse. I put him in a bird cage for 3 days and while I was changing the paper at the bottom I noticed his limp has gotten a lot worse, even with his time in the cage. Fiver’s...

My (a little over) one month old chick got pecked to the skull by our older hen. We lost 3/4 of our chickens to raccoons and we got some chicks for our last remaining hen. At first when we introduced them when they were old enough, she pecked them a bit, but over time she’s been bullying one...

Hey I need advice asap. I have a chick who I think is about 7 maybe 8 days old. Hatched with no issues or health concerns. Long story short I discovered it had curled toes so I taped them and went to bed and in the morning I found him laying on his stomach with his leg stretched out backwards. I...

The leg has no visible injury, yet the hen won't put anyway on it and hops. Does anyone know what else could be the issue? Thank you

My chicken got attack by a Hawk two days ago, The Hawk was grabbing on to its head, and we were able to rescue our chicken, but she is having trouble with one of her eye! I’m not sure what to do about her eye, and i’m also not sure she is blind in that eye now.. If anybody has some tips please...

This is my pet chick Soufflé, a salmon faverolle… I’ve been taking of all my chicks equally, never dropped them and always made sure they ate and drank enough. She does have 3 sisters from different mothers but she was never bullied or messed with… all google will tell me she could have a foot...

This chick had to manually be hatched. It is 6 days old. Today I noticed that it was stumbling around and it's crop was filled with gas. It hasn't eaten all day but it is drinking. Any advice??

I’ve always ghosted this forum because of the helpful advice people get often helps me A LOT. However, I am in the serious need of guidance and advice myself now more than ever before. Last Sunday one of our young chicks got severely injured on the back of her head, she fought very hard and she...

Ok so I brought home a new 8 week old pullet 10 days ago. She’s a funky looking little cross between a Silkie & blue copper maran according to the lady who hatched her. We couldn’t resist when my kids & I saw how funny looking & cute she was so she came home with us… So 5 days ago she began...

So we recently hatched some tuxedo quail chicks from an incubator about a week ago and they were all doing fine. But this morning we noticed one laying down and not walking as much as the others and now he is barely walking, he was fine yesterday! He is using his wings to support himself when...

Does anyone know what’s the matter with this sweet little one? 😢 He is a fighter with so much strength but he cannot use his legs properly and flails them around unable to walk. Initially I thought it was spraddle leg but now I’m thinking it could be something else. Any tips/suggestions please...

I have a baby chick who cut open her foot 4 days ago. we’ve applied an anti inflammatory and anti bacteria chicken spray on it the last 4 days and have had it wrapped. i took off the bandage today to let the cut air out. i’m not sure if i should take her to the local vet or not.

Hey folks, we recently ordered 51 chicks from meyers and lost about 12 out of 15 of the same breed within the first 2 days, the others were healthy and fine - only about 3 others died suddenly overnight. There was no heating pad during the delivery process for some reason, but we moved them...

Hey! My 4week old barred rock got scooped up by my dog. I got him to drop her but she just lay there. I held her for a good 30 mns she Was obviously heavily breathing and it appeared at the beginning to have a couple of drops of blood coming out of her left ear. After about an hour she chirped a...

OK new chicken owner here and I could use some help. My five pullets are four months old they've gotten along great up until today. This morning I noticed that one of them had some damage to her comb. I'm not sure if it was done by one of the others overnight but the blood was dried so I cleaned...

Hi everyone Two days ago I found this precious chicken on the road. Someone told me that it was there for several hours in the rainy day. I took it home and then I realised that obviously she was super hungry but she cannot "aim" for her food. Her head is shaking like someone with Parkinson...

Hi, I have my own chickens I'm raising from incubation, I've noticed today my chick has what looks like a broken leg but I understand it could be a slipped tendon? I have no idea what's happened, one day the chick was fine and now it's not. I have it in a small box to restrict movement, it has...

Hello all. As my chicks feathers are coming in ive noticed red, almost bleeding bald spots on their backs near shoulder blades. I believe it’s from other chicks pecking at her back. Should I seperate the perpetrator? Can I put neosporin (not sure if that’s spelt right) on the effected area? This...
