    SICK CHICKEN!

    One of our hens seems to be lame in one leg. She holds it up constantly, tries not to be on her feet that much, and limps around. It’s been going on for the past couple days.

    Limping 3-week-old chick

    We have 12 chicks, 3 weeks old. I noticed today that one seems to be limping/leaning on the side of the brooder and having trouble getting around. Poop looks ok, saw her eating a bit, haven't seen her drinking today but I may have just missed it. Any advice?? Thanks in advance!!

    Over the past three days my little pullett Maren hen has basically started to lose strength and become listless. She’s about four months old, and at two months I had to treat her for coryza (antibiotics, removal of hard exudate in eye socket; see my December posts about this) and since then she...

    Chicken limping but can’t find an injury

    My Golden Comet started limping 3 days ago. She was spending a lot of time laying down in the run, then during free-range hour (also known as happy-hour) she laid down again. She never lays down when free-ranging. When she does walk, she limps and has a strange gait. I can’t find any swelling...

    Help! Chicken with swollen leg!

    Hey everyone! I'm having some trouble with my easter egger, denise. I noticed about two weeks ago that she was limping. I checked her, and the bottom of her foot was swollen, which I thought was bumble foot. But I didn't see a scab so I wrapped her foot with some padding and put her inside...
