neck

Does anyone know what predator could have killed my turkey. One of my bourbon red hens was in a bush dead. I have a flock of ten turkeys • Only the head and neck were left, however it was seemingly untouched aside from being pulled off of the body • The feathers were not too scattered, but there...

Hi! My duck seems to be wet on only her neck. I have picked her up and checked her over and she is dry everywhere else but her neck is wet to the touch, I have some photos I will attach as well. Has anyone seen wet feather only on the neck? I've tried googling this but can't find anything.

We have a year old Black Australop mix hen a week ago she was falling over, her neck was flopping over to the left and she couldn't hold her head up. One of her ear lobes is red the other is shabby and unhealthy looking. I can't tell if she has bumblefoot or if she just has weird feet. I don't...

Hello everybody, Today when closing the chickens in for the day I did a random checkup on a couple of them. To my distress I found that one of my naked neck hens has a large wound on her neck. It was not obvious to me that she had any injury, because her feathers were covering that spot, there...

First, I’d like to say hello. I am new here and new to raising chickens. Yesterday, I found one of my hens with her head laying sideways. I have seen the stargazing chicken and she does not look like that. Her head just hangs to one side. She occasionally moves it and seems ok for a couple of...

I walked out to feed and one of my roosters was standing but can’t hold up his neck. He will lift it for a second and it falls back down.

Does anyone know how to treat a chick with wry neck? We’ve got a silkie chick (probably a rooster) with wry neck. He is a about a week and a half old. He’s in the brooder with 7 other chicks do you have any advice on what I can do? What are the risks? Can he die from it? (I do not cull my...

I have 3 chicks out of 19 that are 7ish weeks old they each have this lump on their neck/chest/shoulder area. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m raising them to sell and I am concerned! Does anyone know what this is? Will it go away? Will the chicken die? Attaching pictures. Also the 3 with these lumps are different...

hi there, I am new to hatching chicks, this is my first time. My eggs hatched yesterday and I have one chick who’s neck is curled in! I live in New Zealand and Newcastle disease doesnt even exist here, and apparently chicks can’t be born with mareks disease and I don’t have any other poultry. I...

Please help I just noticed my 1-year-old Jenny has a very deep wound on the back of her neck that was not there yesterday. She shares her coop with her sister, my four other chickens sleep on the roost on the other side of the coop. She's been extremely broody for the last few weeks hard to get...

One of my 2-year-old Australorps has a slight lump ABOVE her crop on the left side of her neck. She seems fine/eats/etc., except that she hasn't laid an egg for 3 days now. She is the alpha, and our power egg producer. She skipped a couple weeks in winter, whereas my other two skipped a couple...

Feathers missing from front of neck for 2-3 months, treated 3x with permethrin in the last 2mos for poultry lice around vent, no improvement of neck, no more poultry lice around vent. No bugs visible on neck. No lifting of leg scales. No other chickens with missing feathers. Can’t tell if others...

Help! So my Silkie chicken has wry neck and she can barely stand! It’s been around 1 week since I’ve noticed that she has wry neck, I think she lost control over her entire body and has little control. When I try to make her stand she’ll fall. Is this supposed to happen?! I’ve also noticed that...

Hi, so my silkie chicken probably has a broken neck and I don’t know what to do! She’s also walking very funny like as if she was new to walking. Her head keeps on turning to the right a lot but she never moved it to the left. I just noticed this right now.

At 1 a.m. tonight I interrupted some kind of animal attack. Likely raccoon. I was late in closing up the coop. My hen was squawking and laying still outside. She was missing a lot of feathers in a few areas, but the only serious wound was on the back of her neck. (See picture.) Initially sprayed...

Hello! If this is not the correct area I'm sorry in advance. I felt this might be the closest forum section to post this. I have a Golden Laced Wyandotte less than a year old who is a bit of a special case. She has had a deformed neck since birth and it isn't wry neck. I have taken her to vet...

I just came from work its 6 pm and opened the chickens and found my hen's neck/mouth part is bloated. I called the vet and they said ill need to come tomorrow since past 6 is lockdown where i live. I felt her neck part and something long and hard is stuck in there. Shes very slow too and just...

It seems as though a coyote has tried attacking one of my hens. She has a nasty wound on her neck with a hole. I thought there was grass stuck to the wound but instead it is the grass she has been eating that is coming out the side of her neck. She is still acting fine, walking, eating...

Hi I have a 2 week old barred rock chick about a week ago I noticed she always had her head tucked down but I just assumed she was tired, I’ve been keeping an eye on her and have noticed it’s all the time sometimes I’ll see her lift it for a second but she puts it back down right away. I’m...
