    Just wry neck or also an injury?

    This here is Delilah. She is about 15 weeks old. We got her as one of 4 chicks for 2 broody bantam cochin’s this spring. They were great moms and raised their babies together and are now broody again. Last Sunday (a week ago), after pushing them out of the box, both moms attacked Delilah. After...

    8 Eggs or Less Should be Given to Silky Hens who are Brooding! Gave my hen too many and now she seems injured

    I made the mistake of giving my broody silkie hen 10 eggs to hatch. She now makes the splits sometimes and falls. There was a 100% hatch rate so she had to sit on 10 eggs for the 20 day development period. And I didn't notice she was doing the splits until it was too late. So it's actually...

    Coturnix chick can't use legs- cannot bend at knee

    Last baby to hatch came out with legs tucked up under it. Feet are turned inward, knee joints will not bend. I can't even straighten the legs to tape on the "braces" I made out of drinking straws to try to get it walking. Joints open to about a 30-40 degree angle and that's it. I am thinking it...

    I recently purchased up 2 Indian runners and the male doesn’t seem to be able to walk properly, I rang the person I purchased him from and he told me there was nothing wrong with him when I picked him up, he was in a box so I didn’t get to see him running around. He seemed to think it’s because...

    Help- Adult Female Suddenly Can’t Walk

    Two days ago, my adult female coturnix quail stopped being able to walk. She just keeps falling over onto her side and kicking her legs in circles on the ground. I’m not sure what’s going on- what can cause this? She hasn’t laid an egg in two or three days. I thought maybe she was egg bound...

    Yellow legs are rurning silver

    Hi, I am just wondering if anyone has come across this before? My 5 sex linked pullets are starting to have their legs turn from yellow to silver. I have done some googling and read up on scaly mites which can cause this, but could it be anything else? They are not in pain or irrated, but if...

    Pigeon-toed, injured, or Marek's?

    My Welsummer hen is about 4 1/2 months old. Was vaccinated at hatchery. Grew up fine with flock mates. Suddenly, she is pigeon-toed, injured or has Marek's disease. She can't walk without stepping on her own feet, losing her balance and tipping forward or sideways. She uses her wing to balance...

    Chick standing like a penguin

    This is a chick I bought from the feed store. She started out walking and standing just fine. But a couple days ago she had slept with her flock mates on her belly with her legs extended back. She was unable to get up. I gently folded her legs back under her and held her that way for a few hours...

    Injured duck, what is wrong with her?

    Does anyone know what’s wrong with my duck? The last couple days she hasn’t been acting right. Once in a while she will flap her wings and walk a little with the wings out and then sit down. Her legs and flippers are very warm too. Thank you
