    Need advice

    Out of nowhere a lot of our hens started attacking one hen. Bad enough that she now has a major bloody head wound. To get them to stop and from what I’ve read we’ve separated her into a dog kennel within the run. We’ve also been using a healing aid + skin repair on the wound. A couple days have...

    Found Injured Hen on Side of Road in Ditch, treating wound but now maybe wheezing? Does she need antibiotics?

    Hey all, I found a chicken on the side of the road in a ditch while I was walking my weiner dog. We both thought she was a dead animal but she was still alive. So i ran back to my house and got my car and grabbed her. The first day I gave her a bath and didn’t see anything but a small puncture...

    Injured butt?

    Not sure what happened but I noticed my rooster’s been having trouble pooping. At first I thought he was constipated or he had matted feathers and we’re at fluffy butt time of the year so I couldn’t see (my chickens are friendly with me but not enough to let me pick them up). He pecks at the...

    Sprained leg? Ankle issues?

    Apologies for the duplicate thread, I've read each post that I could get my hands on on the topic and didn't necessarily felt like they matched our situation enough. I will also apologize in advance if I get terms wrong, I've pulled up a photo of chicken anatomy to try to make this as clear as...

    Pecked by hens, eye looks like it is healing itself shut: graphic pics

    Short version: I have a chicken that was pecked, one of her eyes is open but she keeps it half closed most of the time. Her other eye has movement underneath but she is not opening it mainly due to the fact that it wont open. Long version: This is a new chicken, she was doing well and then...

    HELP! FOWL POX???

    I have a hen (stinky, yes that’s her name lol) and she’s been broody for a few weeks…ughh. Well I went to gather eggs today and I looked at her and saw all these scabs on her face and comb and ear, BUT it’s only on this one side. Is this fowl pox or just other chickens pecking her? She does...

    Found deep injury on bird

    Found this injury under one of my birds wings on both sides. It could have been there for weeks. I am assuming it’s from my giant rooster, who we are going to trim his nails today. I cleaned out the wound as best I could and put wound spray and neosporin on it. She’s eating more scrambled eggs...

    Different Color Spots On Chickens

    I have two naked neck chickens, and I noticed these spots all over them. The green spots are mostly under the wings, on their breasts, and on their legs. The red spots are all over. They are acting normal otherwise. I do have two other chickens, both are Rhode Island Reds. They don’t have have...

    Racoon attack, broken beak, thick mucus in mouth

    Hi. About a week and a half ago my hen got attacked by a racoon. I managed to save her from him even though he had her in his mouth. She had a head injury and a twisted jaw. Her eyes were swollen shut. I brought her back from the dead pretty much by cleaning her every day and nursing her wounds...

    Please help my chickens wing got wrapped around in a wire and I just found her, her wing is extremely swollen what do I do?

    It's still warm, I've been massaging it to give back circulation. I've got the wire out unfortunately I'm not able to post any videos or pictures. The nearest vet that could help me is an hour away and I can't make the trip. She's acting fine and has some mobility in the wing, as she pulled it...

    Chick being bullied??

    Hi! Any idea on what could be going on with my 5 week old EE? The other 5 look fine. This one’s neck looks scabby and is missing feathers. No signs of illness. No bleeding, even though it looks scabby. We check them over every single night and this is a new development that I noticed today...

    Scab or dirt in old wound

    Hey! So I was just completing my first health check in a while on my flock and I found what appears to be an old open wound (most likely caused by my roo) on the side of one of my hens. It seems to have been there for a while and I just feel terrible that I didn’t find it sooner! The skin around...

    Unknown wound/illness on quail. Need help.

    I have a quail who was limping the other day so we separated her and let her rest 3-5 days later she was fine. We slowly introduced her back into the flock so there was no bullying of any sort and they did fine. Today she was limping again so we looked her over and she has an indent in her leg...

    Mystery injury

    I have a little barred rock rooster who is on the small side and is around over 3 months old now I think. He started limping one day and it seemed to come and go, then I noticed him making a pain noise while drinking water so I checked his crop and he seemed to have sour crop. I massaged his...

    Chicken can’t walk???

    Our chicken was limping a few weeks ago. It seems her left leg was injured. Checked for everything (bumble foot, other injury, everything google says to check for) she is fine. Figured she might have sprained it coming down the coop ramp in the rain. Now fast forward a few weeks, it seems she is...

    Injury to wing? Or cocci? 12 week old Easter egger

    Hey all, I’m back with another ask for help. My Easter egger was fine the other day, today I noticed she was slower moving and sleeping while she stands. Reminds me of when she had cocci but her poo looks fine other than being kind of watery more than usual. I am attaching photos of how her...
