    Injured silkie

    Hi! Yesterday when I called all the girls in I found my silkie hen in a corner of the outdoor run just crouching there. I picked her up and realized she was bloody down her front. I cleaned her up in the sink and she is missing feathers on her chest and one of her toes is gone. No idea what...

    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...

    Swollen Eye / Cloudy Eye - help!

    I’ve tried searching through the threads and can’t seem to find something similar— also researched for two days now what could be wrong- so thanks for any help! I have about an 11 week cockoo Maran whose one eye is swollen, shut most of the time, and when she opens it’s clouded over with...

    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...

    Lowest pullet attacked by hens

    Hi friends, I have ten chickens living in a large covered run in four prefab coops (with ventilation panels added) so there are 2 or 3 birds in each house and they roost with their closest friends / age group with whom they entered the flock. I’m raising three Sicilian Buttercup pullets who...

    Does anyone know what’s wrong with my hen?

    I just noticed this spot on one of my hens the other day, and I guess I’m not sure what it is or what I should do about it. It looks like it might be a little bit swollen, but my girl doesn’t seem to be acting any different than she normally does. She’s not lethargic, she’s still running around...

    Day-old duckling with eye issue?

    Received a group of ducklings this morning, found this little one with an eye issue. Duck seems alright, alert and noisy, but prefers to keep that eye shut. Seems to be tired, even in the presence of humans. I’m relatively new to raising waterfowl. Is the duckling okay? Is there anything I can...

    The Good and the Bad

    Checked on the birds this morning and had a couple of surprises: good and bad: The Good: I got my first Egg! The Bad: 2 of my Roos got into a fight and one was a bit bloodied. I cleaned him up and isolated him to recover. My Hen:Roo ratio is lower than I'd like, so probably a bit too much...

    I need help with my baby chick. Please answer.

    By the title, you may think something bad has happened to my baby chick, and that’s exactly what happened. My three-week-old Silkie-Turken baby chick was reluctant to come out of his baby chick coop this morning, which was very strange considering he is always the first baby chick out (he’s a...

    Duckling with lame foot

    One of my almost 4 week old ducklings has become lame in one foot/leg. He is pretty much using his whole leg to hobble around. The other leg seems to be strong. This just started and has been on and off the past few days and is now consistent. None of the other ducks are having any leg issues...

    Anyone help identify what’s causing this?

    Noticed this on my only rooster the other day. I thought it was dirt but it hasn’t gone away. I read it could be dried blood? But idk not sure who would be pecking him since he is the biggest chicken and only rooster. Please help for treatments!

    Bubbles has a bubble

    Yesterday I noticed a pretty big welt on our light brahma's face. Checked all the other chicks, no one else has got any similar signs. She doesn't seem to be too bothered by it, letting me check it out. It doesn't feel hard or hot. She's clucking and foraging, seems happy and normal. We recently...

    Weird wing on baby chick!

    Hello! I have a baby Brahma with a weird wing. It didn’t show sings of discomfort when inspecting it and it can move it. Could this be just a growth deformity? Or something else? I just want to make sure it doesn’t affect its quality of life. Chick is less than a week old

    Wound on hens wing, help

    This is my hen who’s at the bottom of the pecking order. She’s had wounds before. It’s hard to describe where it is. It’s like on the top of her wing bone, kind of like the “elbow” area. The pics with her saddle are from a few weeks ago and the others where it looks more like a scab is from...

    Heat stroke with long term leg injury

    I have a 3yo Black Astralop that had bad heat stroke last fall (northern California), during which her legs seemed to give out for a day or so until recovered and reintroduced with her flock. She immediately went into an early molt. She has never laid since and does not roost with her sisters...
