    Slipped Turkey Tendon - When is it too late?

    One of our turkey poults slipped a tendon about a week ago. Being that we thought it was an ailment other than a slipped tendon, we unfortunately treated for the wrong problem and only now discovered it's actually a slipped tendon. I've read multiple articles and threads, but despite trying all...

    Hello- My adorable and otherwise extremely healthy 3 wk old chick (1 of 3) suddenly is limping, falling over as she tries to move as usual. She obviously hurt her leg somehow and is off balance even in the large cardboard box with hay and food/water I keep them in most of the time with their...

    Cockerel Dog Attacked, Won't Move Leg! Sprained/Broken???

    My young cockerel (Olive Egger) has been dog attacked. Looks fine overall. Minor cuts and bruises, some broken shafts. But he won't move his left leg too much. Felt his hips, joints and feet. Don't feel any breaks, leg is kind of loose. He is favouring his left, and lying down more on his left...

    Severely crippled chick walking only on hock joints

    I just got a 1 or 2 day old golden red pheasant chick that is very uniquely crippled. It does not have splay leg, which I've treated (even severe cases) before. The chick walks (barely) on its hock joints with its shanks and feet upward. Imagine a person walking on their knees with their feet...

    Gosling with probable sprained leg

    I've just spent the last half hour reading other threads, articles, etc about goose leg injuries and I don't quite know what to do still. Our six week old buff gosling got herself stuck and twisted a leg around. My girlfriend found her and got her loose. She's not wanting to walk now, although...

    Chick having trouble standing and walking. How do I help her?

    I am really new to chickens. We just got six chicks about a week ago! Five of them are doing great-- cheeping and eating and pooping and running around like nobody's business. I started noticing a few days ago that one of them (Janice) is not doing so hot however. She seemed way weaker and less...

    Is this chicks leg splayed, broken, or something else?

    These are my first round of chicks and I am not sure if this gals leg is splayed (so it needs to be held closer to the other leg with a rubberband, band aid, or pipe cleaner) or broken (so it needs to be splinted) or there is something else (deformity?) going on. I put a band aid on it for a few...

    One leg completely floppy/nonfunctional

    Three year old mix hen, suddenly not able to walk due to one bad leg yesterday. It's completely without muscle tone-- foot just hangs there- leg flops from the first joint. (The 'Backwards knee'). Side to side hangs, if that makes sense-- it's not hanging down to the floor if I pick her up...

    Hi! We have a pet turkey, Sybil, and decided to get her a friend. A friend of mine was picking up some turkeys from a farm and we said we would have one as a friend for Sybil. However, instead of letting us know they'd got the turkeys they put one over the fence to our allotment and in doing...
