    Ten month old hen has weird gait

    One of my barred rock pullets I got back in February was completely normal until a month or so back when I saw her walking lame on her right foot. I caught her, it looked like early bumblefoot (small scab on the sole of her foot, with a soft spot). I found no wounds or pain anywhere in either...

    Lame dove with other issues...

    I have a young dove (6 months) that is limping badly on one leg, it is slightly swollen, but no visible injury. I don't see any string or hairs wrapped around it either. I did some google searching and read that salmonellosis can cause lameness? I ordered some Medpet 4 in 1 powder hoping that...

    Lame chicken

    My moms hen is refusing to use her legs. We assumed she was egg bound, soaked her and she did lay a soft shell egg. But she hasn’t improved since, she’s eating and she will drag herself around but still won’t walk. She’s separated from the flock in the house, getting 3 warm soaks a day, being...

    Two lame ducks

    We have probably 30 Muscovey ducks in our farm pond. We've had one of the young females go lame a few weeks ago, just sits around, won't walk. She will eat/drink if you put it in front of her. She's had a few blood blisters come up on her feet, that I've drained. I put her in the backyard...

    lame hen

    Hi I am new to chickens. This hen (1 of 5) is a mixed breed, about 6 months old. About a week ago she stated looking lethargic, not staying with the flock. Yesterday I discovered her in the coop, unable to move her legs. She is warm and alert, eating and drinking, normal stool. Feed is a mixed...

    Lame chicken with head retracted and puffed feathers

    I have an OEGB that has been less active/ alert the past 2 days. Today she is staying in one spot for the most part, her head is pulled in and she keeps closing her eyes. She doesn't show any trouble breathing (yet). She hasn't been eating much either. I am unsure what I should do. :/

    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...

    Lame Rooster

    Alright, I have a dilemma. I have a rooster. He is about one year old, and in the past couple weeks has gone from a slight limp to full on can’t put weight down. He just hobbles around on one leg, while the other he lifts and swings out in front of him, even when just standing there. The...

    16 WEEK OLD HEN NOT STANDING ON ONE LEG

    We let our 16 week old hens free range today and one of our Easter Egger hens is now not standing on one of her legs. She tries to use it when she walks and gets around but, mostly sits around. I picked her up and felt her bones. Nothing obviously broken, no bumble foot, no blood, no missing...

    Lame hen

    One of our 18 month old Welsummer hens has gotten lame. She stopped roosting a couple of weeks ago but I didn't think much of it because she's always been a little bit of an oddball, but I noticed in the last couple of days she hasn't been walking well. We have 16 chickens and the rest seem...

    Mystery illness/injury

    I am caring for my daughter's 5 month old hen as I have nursed many back to health. This time is a bit of a mystery. She has been dragging her right leg for two weeks. It feels like she has no muscle/fat on that thigh compared to the other. Her poo is completely normal and no respiratory issues...

    Duckling has one foot lame

    Here's the thing. Yesterday a duckling hatched that was having issues standing and walking. As it was completely exhausted, I kept it warm and allowed it to rest. This morning, it's full of energy and I've seen that one of his leg is lame. His foot is curled beneath it's belly and he hardly...

    Help!! Lame Chicken, Otherwise Healthy

    Hi, I have a 4 month old chicken who is most likely a rooster. I am not sure of the exact breed, but he is probably an Araucana and he hatched from a green/olive egg. For the past two or three weeks he has developed a bad limp in one leg and in the last couple of days this leg has become...

    Early Bumble Foot

    The best way the cure bumble foot is to catch it early. The last 3 days this young B-Rock Pullet has slowly turned into limpy lame Polly. If you wish to have a healthy flock, KNOW YOUR FLOCK. Spend time, study behavior, look for little things that can become BIG things. This Beautiful Bird is...

    Lame/crippled Ancona Duck :(

    Hello! I have a 4 year old Ancona duck hen that has almost lost her ability to walk. I have three other ducks and 4 chickens. All of them are healthy laying eggs and doing well. Two days ago while I was putting them up in their coop for the night I noticed Ivy (the lame duck) was not keeping up...

    Lame/Peeling Leg?

    3 days ago, I separated my Ayam Cemani, Cinder, from the flock because she was limping. I've been checking her feet twice daily and there is no sign of bumblefoot. Today, I took her out so she could get some grass, and noticed her lame leg looks like it's peeling. I was hoping it was just a...

    last Year in May we got two old guys in their mid twentys and we thought it would be a good place to start for our small farm. The kids love them and have fun braiding their tails and riding then bare back around the pasture. Lately the paint, (Blue) who has had bad arthritis in his back legs...
