    Pullet With Unknown Leg Injury - Please Help!

    One of my 14 week old pullets got out of the run yesterday (totally my fault; I've since fixed the issue) and the dog got a hold of her. Thankfully, the dog just grabbed her and ran, but didn't make it too far before we caught up. She was definitely in shock last night - panting, etc. After...

    Injured foot

    I have a white Leghorn who got some twine wrapped around her foot. I found her sitting in the yard, and she was stuck, because the twine also got wrapped around a branch, so she was stuck there. When I retrieved her, I observed that the twine was stuck pretty tightly around her foot and embedded...

    Foot/leg injury — week old chick

    One of my baby chicks is avoiding putting weight on one leg. There is no visible sign of bumblefoot or an injury. She lets me gently move and manipulate that leg and foot without complaint.

    Just a bit ago, I found my serama pullet hiding behind some pallets, limping severely and not putting any weight on her left leg, which she is holding stretched out in front of her (think splayed legs), to the extreme. She looked very weak, and kept her eyes closed, breathing heavily. I've...

    Chick won't put weight on leg

    I have a four day old (I think) Bantam chick that can't put weight on one of his legs. I got him from a feed store. When he was in the brooder that the feed store, the other chicks were stepping all over him and picking on him. He's such a small little guy and I'd hate for him to die. Right now...

    I have an 8 month Cuckoo Marans rooster who has had a really rough winter. I'm assuming he got pushed off the roost in the coop on 1/20 because he was fine earlier in the day and the next day he was limping and not putting pressure on his left leg. We brought him in, I checked him out for...

    Rooster with injured leg-Help!

    My nearly 8 month old rooster is limping and dragging one leg behind him. He is acting fine other than being off balance and is (surprisingly) hard to catch because he still runs like a bat out of hell. Seems to be resting more or laying down when he loses his balance, not running towards me as...

    Help! My chicken's leg is twisted.

    Our precious Bébé's leg is twisting outwards. I will attach a video showing what it looks like, and how she moves. It wasn't like this when she was a chick.
