    Leg Problems

    So my plymouth rock has had a bad limp for about a month now and I can't figure out what on earth is wrong with her leg! Her pad and toes are completely normal, no scabs, bruises, or bumblefoot. Her scales are normal too so no scaly leg mites. I have been examining and re-examining her leg...

    3 Year Old Chicken Gone Lame

    A three year old hen of ours has gone lame. She doesn't stand up or walk on two legs, but she can "walk" on her hocks/shanks. Basically she is sitting down and moving her legs forward, kind of like how a person can "walk" on their knees. She also pushes with her wings to do this. However, she...

    Hi there folks, So I’m new to chicks, but not chickens in general. I recently received some day old chicks by mail. I lost a Speckled Sussex without much warning on day three after receiving them. Today makes two weeks and three days since these girls (hopefully girls) were hatched. Just a few...

    Rooster with weird legs, can barely walk. Genetic issue or hip dysplasia???

    Hi everyone, I have a 4-5 month old rooster. He initially had no leg issues and had an altercation with my main rooster and ever since he’s been hiding a lot and barely interacts with the other chooks. He walks very strangely too, his legs turn inwards... I’m just curious, is this a genetic...

    Walking/leg issues. Injury? Merek's?

    For the past couple of days I thought my 10 month old Olive Egger was on the verge of going broody as she was sitting in the nest boxes for longer than usual each day just like all my other broody's have before sticking with it. Last night she roosted on the floor next to a very low roost where...

    Week old chick, leg issues

    So, our "problem nugget" as the kids call her had very weak legs on hatch, there was an immediate notice about how she got around opposed to other chicks we've hatched. She wouldn't use anything below her hocks and hobbled around everywhere. She was second to hatch, first to pip. She was pipped...

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...
