    Three Week Old Chick Leg Injury

    I recently adopted a chick that had trouble standing on its right leg, and formed a nodule on its ankle from walking on the wire mesh inside the brooder. She can't move her ankle straight, and usually hangs at a 90 degree angle, but can be bent upward a little. She has difficulty walking...

    Possible leg injury

    Well this morning has been crazy in chicken terms:th I woke up to a presumed case of scaly leg mites with the big girls, and an issue with one of my new chicks. She’s three days old, and she’s limping pretty heavily. She’s still getting around, but she definitely can’t put weight on it. When she...

    Day old leg/foot injury, splay leg doubted.

    I asked about this in my local thread and got great responses but after looking at treatments and having time to examine the chick more, I think it may be something else. I just picked up these chicks today (my first ever chicks) from the post office. One of the four Brahmas I picked up has an...

    Chicken Limp, URGENT

    I have a older RSL (~4-5 years) who has had a limp for 2 months. She applies light amounts of weight to it and everything seems to be in proper alignment. After a month of isolation, with no signs of recovery, she was reintroduced to the flock. It hasn't been a concern until a week ago when...

    18 week old hen, injured leg?

    Hello everyone! My hen is an ayam cemani and is about 18 weeks old. I got her when she was about two weeks. We named her Diggs since that was her favorite thing to do as a chick and was the first one to start digging. She's very sweet and cuddly, so I was worried when I noticed my sweet hen was...

    Limping, Stopped Laying, and Losing Feathers

    Hello all, I have a Dominique who is 36 weeks old, it is now December and she stopped laying eggs about 1-2 ago. Around that same time, I thought I noticed a slight limp when she ran, but didn't see it when she walked, so didn't think much of it. She is my most adventurous lady, always escaping...

    2.5 Week Old Button Quail Dislocated Leg

    The chick appears to have dislocated its right leg. Perhaps it started out as a splayed leg and something happened from there. I only took in the bird Wednesday from the owner (who bought the quail chick from my friend, the breeder) in order to prevent it from being euthanized. [see attached...

    Last weekend was another hatch for us. On the second day, we had some assisted hatched. 3 were sticky and had thick umbilical cord issues. Usually along with that comes leg splay etc. The 3 did have splayed legs. 2 were minor but the last was bad. We did our trusty chick handcuff method and 2...
