leg

Hi all. I just got chicks a week ago and everything was going great but then this afternoon I noticed one of my chicks was walking with her left leg pointing out. She was the strongest of the chicks until today. It does not appear to be splay leg since the other is perfect and from her hip to...

I looked into it more and realized that most likely what my baby Easter has is a slipped tendon. I noticed a little while ago and the man that was watching him for me brushed it off saying that he was fine. I was in a rush so I didn’t look into it at all. I’m so terribly regretting that now...

This is a cochin bantam chick I think. He is 5 days old now. From the day he was hatched he had this little featherless patch on his head and a leg limp. The patch is almost gone now. But his left leg shows no signs of improving. I tried taping it and using a rubber band with a straw (like...

Is this splayed leg? I just received my box of chicks in the mail this morning. All of them seem to be doing well, even this little guy, other than his leg and having trouble moving around. He’s quite lively.. the only one who has eaten food yet.

Hi folks, this stag was about to be thrown out by his owner but I got him to try to save him and give him a chance to live normally. I attached a video file to this post showing him. He's just using one leg to walk, his fingers are curled and doesnt move

Hi! I have a 36 hours old silver ameraucana chick that limp since his birth. I noticed that despite being able to stand static normally, when he walks, his left wrist is positioned as if he was walking on high heel. He walks, runs, feed, scratch normally. What could it be? Is there anything I...

Hi there, I have a chick that hatched this morning and it can’t walk properly. It appears as though it has a broken left leg or some implication regarding it’s left leg. It’s leg sits out sideways and it appears as though it can’t put any weight on the leg. The chick can limp around but it’s...

Hi, I’m hoping someone can offer some helpful insights regarding our duck, aptly named Ducky. Ducky is a five month old male Pekin with a bum leg. We aren’t sure if his leg was injured at some point or if it’s a deformity, but he has walked with a considerable limp since we got him at...

I have a seven month old gold top hen who I noticed 3 days ago was lame. However she was able to walk with her limp slowly and jump up to the roost but I decided to remove her from my flock as she is relatively new and is at the bottom of the pecking order and I was concerned the older girls...

My 2.5 year old female coturnix quail has started lying on her side all the time. She can’t seem to put weight on her right leg. She’s able to move both legs, but she can’t walk. Vet says it’s probably either a nerve issue, abdominal mass on left side, stroke, sprain or soft tissue injury, but I...

My 25 week-old Andalusian hen has developed a large cyst on her leg. She was limping but now not walking at all. She slept on the floor of the coop. Any suggestions?

We adopted two ducklings last spring that turned out to be drakes. We lost one a few weeks ago, and we adopted four young females that I believe were hatched this spring. We noticed yesterday that one of the new females (second from the right in the photo) appears to be sick or injured: she's...

I noticed my goose's foot is making a clicking noise every time she takes a step, should I be concerned she is 4-5 months old and she walks fine other then the noise with every step.

Hey folks, we recently ordered 51 chicks from meyers and lost about 12 out of 15 of the same breed within the first 2 days, the others were healthy and fine - only about 3 others died suddenly overnight. There was no heating pad during the delivery process for some reason, but we moved them...

Ine if my Silkie chicks about a month old was attacked by some thing yesterday I found her sitting down shaking with blood all over her back and scabbed up a little bit no feathers. So I brought her in and cleaned her up and she just fell asleep . I brought her outside today and noticed she...

I have 8 chickens, all 5 1/2 months old. None have laid and egg yet. Last week my chicken stopped walking - we tried giving her epsom salt baths and she seemed a lil more peppy after each one, but now she lays with her one leg straight out and can’t sit up. Her leg doesn’t appear to be broken...

My rooster is about 3 years old. His name is monster and for the past 6 months, his been hopping and limping so I took him to the vet. He does have severe arthritis and now its swollen. He is eating fine and drinking. His poop is normal. Last night the pain got worse and now he keeps hopping on...

About 2 weeks ago my 5 month old chicken hurt her leg, I don’t know how but I found her limping around. Since then I’ve isolated her from the other, been giving her aspirin, and spraying her leg with anti septic spray. However she does not seem to be getting better she stopped laying her eggs...

My dad was letting three standard chicks and our two oegbs at the same time. One of the chicks ran towards our bantam rooster, who spurred the poor chick half an hour ago. This situation should never have occurred but it has been limping and doesn't use it's right leg. What could this be and how...

My favorite hen came out of the coop limping yesterday and by the time I got back with a dog crate to bring her inside for a rest period she was laying in the corner of the coop and not really wanting to move much. Anyways I brought her inside and she ate tons of food and water and has been...
