Hi, we have had 5 bantams since they were 5 or so weeks old, they are now 22 or so weeks and one of them has developed a limp where she brings her leg to her body, stalls it there, and then brings it down again, I've tried to do some Googling but unsure as to the exact issue and was hoping...
So this morning I let my flock out of the coop to free range and my Dalmatian duck, Pongo, was huddled in the corner. When I moved towards her she ran out limping. I caught her and her foot looks fine. No signs of bumble foot or any other injury. The leg is a bit swollen and compared to the...
Hello everyone,
Yesterday I noticed my Welsh Harlequin drake was acting a bit off -- not as active, laying down when his friends were up and about. Then I noticed he was standing on one leg, and finally I actually saw him limping. He can still walk, and is still putting weight on it, but he is...
I have a quail named Clementine, she loves to squeeze behind things when she's nervous, although it usually backfires for her. she has a very natural coop filled with logs, rocks, plants, etc. I went to visit her today and couldn't spot her, then my brother told me she was behind her rocks. the...
Hi everyone. I noticed this morning one of our Mystic Onyx hens is limping pretty pronounced. I did not notice it yesterday and when I grabbed her to exam it didn’t appear swollen but it did seem tender when I touched it and she reacted and there was no scab like google suggests bumblefoot...
Hi BYC Family!
I went out this morning to let my ducks out for the day, and my khaki campbell girl was walking just (or so it seemed). Then, about ten minutes later after I came back from feeding our horses, she was severely limping, but still attempting to run with the rest of the flock. Her...
Hello all, looking for advice in a few areas but most concerned about my ducks poor feet. They have a couple grassy walnut laden acres to roam and are houses under the trampoline at night. It can get muddy but we dry to maintain the front half so that its never saturated and they do always have...

My pekin suck has a swollen leg. It looks mainly like it’s her hock joint. She has been limping otherwise no other symptoms. I brought her in to isolate her. I let her float around in a bathtub yesterday for a few hours and gave her an Epsom salt soak for 20 mins. I also applied vetericin on her...
My baby Kevin is limping! I checked his foot and there are no scratches or any signs of bumblefoot (I check my duckies every other day for bumblefoot). He has been limping for a couple of days and I tried confining him to a smaller space so he wouldn’t be using it as much because maybe I thought...
My hen has had a slight limp for the past couple days, nothing too major. But on Sunday she couldn’t stand so I separated her, she got out and made her leg worse. Sunday and Monday she was eating and drinking, tuesday I had to make her drink water but she ate fine. This morning she ate when I...
So yesterday I posted about my hen being attacked my a fox. His lost a lot of butt feathers and got punctured. She seems to be healing up fine. Cleaned it up a bit and checking on it regularly to see if it gets infected.
NOW this morning I noticed she is limping. Doesn’t like to put too much...
While free-ranging today, I notice my big, 1.5 y/o BO, Glory, seems to be sticking close to the run areas. I then swore I saw a slight limp. I watched her over the next thirty minutes--sometimes it was imperceptible, sometimes I swear I saw a bit of a limp, but I don't know if I'm going crazy...
Hi, I have a 3y.o female pekin called Cookie, she’s my pet duck and lives indoor.
Almost a month ago she suddenly started limping, exactly on the very day that I added levamisole to her water for worming. Her ankle was a little swollen but not like joint swelling, just a spot. I took X-ray from...
this isn’t for me personally, but i have a friend who keeps chickens and isn’t on here, but one of his girls (she’s only two years old) is limping and said that she did a forward roll yesterday. he said that it’s definitely something on her left side? i’m trying to get more information. there’s...
My duck has been walking with a bad limp for a while now and it started off with the middle toe being swollen and a scab (I think it was black but with her dark skin it's hard to tell). I put her on anti-biotics (in her water) for a week. No effect. I went on holiday for two weeks and when I...
Hi all,
I have this black sexlink... one our favorite girls - Amelia. She is about 2 years old and quite high up on the pecking order. She started limping yesterday, so we brought her in - gave her a little spa day, bath, towel dry, etc. We looked her over really well - no signs of bumble, no...
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...
I have a young pullet that limped up top me today with blood all over her head. I put some neosporin on the open wounds but I have no idea what happened or how to keep it from happening! I have two young roos right now, too (one has a new home lined up as soon as he's big enough to go), and one...
