My light Brahma roo starting limping 4-5 days ago. Treated him for scaly leg yesterday, no real improvement today. He's a big guy and still eating, drinking, crowing and watching his ladies just hopping on one leg and pawing at the air with the other. Sits from time to time because he's tired...
My dwarf silkie chickens have had some white leg growth for a while now. They're aren't noticing it themselves and it doesn't bother them but it worrys me that I have no clue what it actually is. I have searched the internet and now I'm asking here.
What is it?
Is it harmful?
If so how do I...
Sorry for typos, i am on mobile.
I have this chick i took from the local feed store since no one wanted it.
Its at most a week old, and will not use its leg.
I am newish to owning chickens and do not know what a slipped tendon looks like.
The chick is a rhode island.

I have a 5 day old baby chick with a swollen leg. Started to limp today and is getting worse. Just got back from the emergency vet clinic. They didn’t know what was wrong and told me to go to a bird specialist vet. I’ll post pics.
Please, does anyone know what’s wrong with it and what I should...
Hi everyone,
I searched and didn’t find anything that seems to apply to my duck so I’m hoping someone can help. One of my Cayuga ducks, Miss Chevious, can’t walk. She will be three years old in May. She lives inside with two ducklings we got her who are now full grown. She has chronic bumble...
Attacked by a cat 2 days ago. Bitten right on her hock/"knee". There is a small puncture hole and the whole area is blue and bruised. Been cleaning daily. She puts NO weight on it and uses her wing as a crutch to get around. She is confined to a small area, to limit the use of the leg, with food...
Here is what worked for my chickens
De-Solv-it.
A multi-purpose cleaner sticky spot and stain remover.
Natural Citrus Base.
The mites get under the scales, and use skin to build caverns for themselves. If you pick up a piece that has fallen off then look under a microscope you will see the...
2 weeks ago, one of our 3 months old Wyandotte had an injured leg when someone stepped on it. I do not see any injury, swelling, marks,... but she will not put her weight on it. She has been caged since. I do not see any amélioration so far. She was feeling lonely and crying each time I...
Hi there!
My boyfriend and I are new to ducks (have had them only 3 weeks now)
Unfortunately our male 1.5 year old Khaki Campbell got out of the pen as our dogs were also out (the dogs are not used to the ducks and everyone is still separated) long story short I'm thinking he injured his leg...
Hello all,
I recently received 2 chicks which are about a month old, with 1 of them having what appears to be a deformed leg. As far as I know the chick has had it since birth. The joint has minimal movement and appears to be swollen, but not filled with fluid. The chick does not appear to be...
Hi, there,
I am Lexy, not a native speaker so this could be a little off (sorry for that), anyway, I have a hen (do we use pronouns for chickens? we do here in Brazil, so Imma do that anyway) and she's probably around 4 months old now... She was fine like a week ago or so but suddenly her leg...
I went out about an hour ago to put my chickens, duck, and geese in for the night, and noticed my Toulouse gander was only standing on one leg. The other is hanging behind him. He hops around on his good leg with the help of his wings for support. I haven't seen him move the bad leg at all, but...
Hi,
I'm writing here in hopes to get some help from the great people here!
Starting from the beginning, this rooster had a really bad case of mites that we somehow missed for quite sometime.
When we realized there was a problem, he was already limping pretty badly but was still standing up...
I have quite a large flock of chickens, and for a while now (~2 weeks) one of our older hens (Georgette) has been having trouble bending one of her legs, and it's causing her a lot of trouble moving. We first thought that she'd simply sprained her leg, and it should heal after a while, but...
Hi there.

Hi everyone about a week ago i noticed this bump on my button quails leg. It was not as big as the picture before but it seems to be getting worse now. Shes now limping but it doesnt seem to be hurting her when i squeeze it. What could be ?
One of my ducklings got his leg caught in some wire late last night/early this morning. He is drinking water but not eating. I moved him inside so the other ducks wouldn't get on his leg. He can't get up/stand up, of course. I'm not sure what I should do to help him. I'm not even sure if he will...
Hi, this is my first post and I'm a new user so forgive me if I didn't write this properly. Open to suggestions to improve.
I have 2 female silver quails about a year old and 1 one them bullied the other when I first got them. I had them in my bird cage temporarily until I bought a big cage for...
So my female duck is about 7 months old now, and for the last 3 months she has had a massive limp. She would go back and forth to favoring both legs and we went through multiple stages of wrapping them, soaking them in Epsom, keeping her isolated, all of it except the vet. I think both her legs...
