    Hi all ! We recently introduced two new buff orpingtons to our flock. The one who is larger, almost twice as big, has very swollen feet and raised scales. First we thought it was bumble foot, but there is no sign of a cut or infection. She otherwise is very active and still runs for treats, and...

    Any help appreciated - pullet’s leg or mareks

    My pullet (pretty sure she’s a Cochin) has trouble putting a leg down. I did take her to the vet, but they’re urban vets not accustomed to seeing chickens. I thought it was mareks, and will know tomorrow. But now I’m thinking it’s a leg injury. I don’t know how to attempt to diagnose or treat...

    Sudden Severe Lameness & Swollen Hock

    About 3 weeks ago, my adult laying hen cut her toe on something. We cleaned it and bandaged it, but the next day or so it looked infected so we started her on antibiotics. This was on her left foot. She was with the other chickens until she was started on antibiotics, but the day we started her...

    Limping, Stopped Laying, and Losing Feathers

    Hello all, I have a Dominique who is 36 weeks old, it is now December and she stopped laying eggs about 1-2 ago. Around that same time, I thought I noticed a slight limp when she ran, but didn't see it when she walked, so didn't think much of it. She is my most adventurous lady, always escaping...

    Our Cochin bantam rooster was limping, hopping super high on one foot and landing on it to move. He seems to not like to move because of this injury. There is no scab, scratch, or abscess. He is 8 months old and had no problems before this last week. I washed him in warm water in case he was...

    Limping Cockerel

    I got a new cockerel on Wednesday. He is a 6 month old Dominique called Domino. I added him to my rooster flock, and he fought the leader of my rooster flock (Griffin) and won. Today, after letting him out, I noticed him hiding from the other roosters. I attempted to catch him, and realized he...

    Cockerel Limping

    I got a trio of young Easter Eggers about a month ago. About two days ago he started limping on his left leg. None of the other birds seem affected. They are in a new run and coop so maybe he hurt himself getting off a high perch? Now he is curling up his foot and hobbling along like that. Never...

    Limping and pumping tail, but I can't feel an egg.

    Hi all, One of my girls who is about 4 years old started limping last week. I wouldn't have thought much of it but I noticed her tail was down and she was pumping it a bit like she was egg-bound. A few days passed and neither issue is better. I inserted my finger and tried to feel for a stuck...

    We have a one year old New Hampshire Red who stopped laying about a month ago. We then noticed she had a poopy bottom, so we gave her an epsom salt bath and cleaned her bottom. We also gave her some yogurt and we put apple cider vinegar in the chickens waterer. But then today, about a week after...

    I have a GLW rooster, one year old, that I noticed limping over the weekend. His appetite and behaviors are otherwise normal and he is able to climb into the roost. Upon noticing the limp, it was immediately obvious that one foot was swollen and a quick search on the internet led me to think...
