I got a baby silkie chick, tiny little thing. Maybe 5-6 days old at the very most. It's been living in a small bin with a gosling and they've been doing great for the past couple of days.
Suddenly, the silkie just start crying out non-stop. Cheep cheep cheep cheep x400. Doesn't stop! It's...
Hi everyone. So i am dealing with a bit of an issue with one of my pekins.
She had bumblefoot back in 2017, it got petty bad, I won't lie but i took her to the vet and got antibiotics for her, wrapped her feet and it went away, she just had some excess skin on the bottom of her feet from the...
Hello everyone!
My hen keeps making sqwarking noises when she poops? She does vary small black ones so I was wondering what is making her sound as if she is in pain?
- she is 3 years old
- she is drinking and eating as normal
- she isn’t lethargic
- she is laying normally
- she doesn’t seem...
I have had bad pain in my left shoulder and neck for 2 weeks now. I have seen 4 doctors. One was a family doctor, two were ER doctors and today i saw an Ortho doc. For pain i was prescribed Motrin. Mortin didn't help at all. I have been nauseated, and my blood pressure is way up because of the...
Hi! A fully fledged chick was brought to me, apparently with a broken leg. It had been about a week since the injury, and nothing had been done to assist the chick, other than removing it from its fellows. Taking it to see a vet is not an option.
I have never treated a broken bone before. I...
My 2 month old Australorp got her foot sucked under a wood beam of a chicken tractor yesterday when I was moving it and most of the leg is slightly swollen. I can't see any broken bone but she can't walk at all. She either flops around using her wing to balance or jumps on one foot to eat and...
Hi Everyone,
A fox got to my chickens yesterday as they were free ranging in the early evening. I had stepped inside to change out laundry, and before you know it a fox was running rapid on my girls. I have a couple where they are still alive and walking, but their feathers are ripped out on...
My 7/8 week old chick has a broken right leg. It seems disconnected from the joint seeing as it hang. I really don’t want to kill her, I barely have the heart to try and examine her leg and hear her peep in pain.
Ok, this is a highly disturbing story. If you choose to read it, don't say I didn't warn you.
I have a 3.5 week old unknown feather footed bantam. At two weeks of age he had this weirdness happen, here's the story.
So thankfully I keep my chicks in the living room. Early one morning I...
Hello BYC folk!
For whatever reason, lots of us have to suffer with chronic or acute pain. So this thread is for those folks to discuss, complain, vent, brainstorm or otherwise try to deal with it. Usual rules apply, be nice and helpful so we can keep up the discussion. You can also discuss...
Hi! I have a silky with a hurt leg. It's been hurt for quite a while and she hops around on one leg. The muscle seems to be gone, like the leg feels much smaller than her other leg. I can tell she's in pain because her back tail feathers kind of vibrate and her movement is slightly limited...
Hi friends! I have five hens who are about 5 months old. Only one has started laying, my Polish hen, Gertie. My question is: is she in pain when she lays? I ask because she hoots and hollers for about two to three hours, pacing in and out of the coop, until she finally lays her egg. Then she's...
okay so I bought 3 chicks there are now entering the pullet stage. I have a Polish Saint run she is not the brightest chicken. She managed to get stuck under a part of my chicken coop and hurt her wing really bad. I disinfected the wound with hydrogen peroxide. It's been a day and her wing is...
