Hello everyone. This is my first flock and I only received the birds this past Sunday 4/8. I am feeling rather hopeless and helpless and am not sure how to help her.
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
She is a Light Brahma...
I recently posted about a chicken that was limping . I think it’s bumblefoot or some kind of infection , it has seemed to form a scab that I took off as much as I could . I’m scared to really cut into it but it doesn’t ooze pus. It does bleed really well though . I have been doing Epsom soaks...
Hi, so I am new to backyard chickens and I just got two chickens last week. A couple of days after getting them, we noticed that one of the chickens didn't move around as much and just stayed in the group while the other two went up in the coop. Whenever she tried to walk, she would flap her...

Hi! I have an almost 6 month old (not laying yet) Rhode Island Red that has been limping for the past week. It started as a small wobble, but now she doesn't use her left leg at all. Her other leg and wings are all fine, just her left leg. Also, her toes are not curled, but they're not in their...
Hi everyone,
My duckling was walking funny yesterday morning then at night i went to close the light so he could sleep he was just sitting with his legs spread apart, usually he gets super excited to see me, then I picked him up gently and placed him on the floor and then again he was limp...

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I began noticing three days ago that my 24 week old pullet, Nora, began exhibiting a limping/weakness in her legs. At first I thought it was just her right leg but today I noticed that it's occurring in both legs. She seems to be eating and drinking fine...
Hello flock parents,
I hope you're great today.
My little Todoboki is roughly 4-5 years old. We got her and her 3 siblings from a sanctuary. They were being chased by a dog in a graveyard where they'd been dumped (so no idea about vaccinations).
Todo has developed leg issues. Limping on...
Hi!
We recently took in three mallard ducklings that had been left without a mother. They're about 4/5 weeks old, and have shown no other issues or conditions until this morning.
When I came to check on them outside after feeding my big ducks, I noticed one of my babies, Moe, has developed a...
Yesterday morning I noticed my female pilgrim goose of about 4-5 months was limping slightly on her left leg when she got out of the hutch in the morning. Over the day she was sitting down more, I couldn’t find any cuts or anything wrapped around the foot and I thought it might get better...
My duck has recently started limping and tucks one foot up under her wing when she has the chance. I’m not sure if it looks like anything but I can’t really tell. I would appreciate other opinions.
About 3 weeks ago my White Leghorn (named Hop) hurt her leg, I've been trying to let it heal but its not, I have to get her out of the coop every morning and put her back in every evening, she used to be like the leader of the hens I have but now they've all excluded her. When she tries to walk...
I recently incubated a bunch of new chicks, but soon realized that one of them had 2 feet that seemed completely useless! Their toes are curled in and the poor thing has been walking on the middle of their leg. I would appreciate if someone would help with this issue ASAP, I have attached a...
