    Is this bumblefoot?

    Hi Guys! I noticed our pet rooster has been standing on one leg and limping a little bit here and there for the past few days. I checked out his feet and noticed a scab on his toe- not where I would expect to see bumblefoot (however I have no experience with it). As a chick he had horrible...

    Limping speckled white

    About 3 days ago I saw her limping as we were bringing the flock in for the night. We grabbed her and brought her in using the dog kennel as the infirmary. I see no visual wounds. The pads of her feet are seem fine. She steps leading with her left foot then her right foot comes and the leg bows...

    Sudden lamness

    Good afternoon all, I have a chicken who over the past few days has seemed to favor her left leg. At first it was a barely noticable limp and a tendency to squat with the lower leg flat on the ground when resting. But day before yesterday I watched her try to stand when I came to feed them and...

    Off Balance Pullet

    I have a new pair of 12 week old legbars. One was slightly quiet and slept more when first brought home but I have now noticed that she's having trouble walking, she's very off balance and wobbly. She prefers to sit down on her hocks. I've checked both feet and legs and can't see any obvious...

    Suddenly Lame Rooster

    On 5/5, I returned from being out of the country for 10 days as I studied abroad! It was a fun time but I was excited to be back and to be honest, I was getting concerned as I'm the main chicken lady at home and was worried about my flock! They were all sleeping peacefully when I returned home...

    Sudden Severe Lameness & Swollen Hock

    About 3 weeks ago, my adult laying hen cut her toe on something. We cleaned it and bandaged it, but the next day or so it looked infected so we started her on antibiotics. This was on her left foot. She was with the other chickens until she was started on antibiotics, but the day we started her...
