    Twisted leg prosthetic for ducks geese or chickens

    Last week I had one gosling hatch with a twisted leg, not functioning from the ankle down. The prosthetic i made is sized for a 1 week old gosling. I found a decent looking prosthetic on Etsy for 145.00 CAD. That is a disgusting price. I created one and posted it for free on Thingiverse for...

    Hen with a stiff leg and toes, help appreciated

    Hello, two days ago I noticed that a two and a half years old Serama hen started standing on one leg after a fight with another hen. She was a bit more withdrawn a day or two before that, but I didn't notice anything else. After the fight she started standing on one leg, and reluctantly walks on...

    Why is her leg like this???

    Any idea what could be wrong with her left leg? She has had a limp that has gotten worse over a week and keeps it close to her chest sometimes. No bumblefoot. No swelling or obvious breaks, and her leg feels normal but I noticed that the leg she’s limping on is jutted out at a weird angle. Her...

    Cayuga limping, not bumble foot

    I have a 20 week Cayuga that has been limping for about a month now, it is definitely not bumblefoot or an infection. I've tried giving her additional niacin and aspirin to no effect, I've also attempted various means of splinting and wrapping the leg in case her ankle is injured. Those methods...

    Hen having trouble moving right leg

    We have a lovely, sweet Austrolorp, just about 3 years old, who started limping six weeks ago. I thought she'd broken her leg or dislocated it. Then she got very sick, breathing hard and unable to eat much. I took her to a vet who x-rayed her and found no problems with her skeleton. Another vet...

    Help, turkey leg or hip injury

    Hello, one of my gobblers has had a bit of a limp for the past year or so but it didn't seem to bother him too much. After a recent run in with our other male he has a very pronounced limp that seems very painful. Not sure what to do? I will try to post a video.

    Foot disease, or just aging?

    Hello! I volunteer with a local garden that has chickens, and I have my own first flock but they’re only 3 years old. One of the hens at the garden is considerably older and her feet look a bit gnarled, dragonny, thickened and scaly to me. Is this a normal part of aging for chickens or is there...

    Quick Onset of Lameness

    Hello! Yesterday I noticed our welsh harlequin duck Ravioli was limping and hesitant to come into the pen from the pond for bedtime. They could still stand at that point but on one leg, hesitant to put pressure on their left leg. We inspected their leg and foot last night for bumbles, heat...
