Hi I’m a new member here, today I noticed that one of my new blue laced red Wyandotte chickens, (Blue), has a small rash on their feet. The rash has some raised little blisters on it. Obviously this concerned me so I scoured the internet, but I couldn’t find anything that seemed similar to what...
Hi, I have never seen anything like this before... I've been away from my birds for several weeks. We have a live in, hired hand who cares for my birds when we're away... I thought he did a good job, but now I wonder if he has always been lazy and just makes everything look good by the day we...
Some of our free range hens have laid in an area with poison ivy. I’m extremely allergic so trying to figure out how to get to the eggs is one thing but what I’m curious about is will the oil be on the eggshells and potentially transfer to people when they touch the eggs?
A few days ago I noticed my amerucana rooster has no feathers on one leg and has lost quite a few tail feathers. Also his skin is very red in those places without feathers. His leg appears to possible be trying to grow feathers back. He is in a pen/coop with 5 hens and they are all perfectly...
My Australorp rooster has really red skin all around his tail. There is no feather loss but his feathers look dirty and maybe a bit oily. I first noticed after a cold snap down to -12. While he is in a coop with 7 other birds, he is in a room by himself because I have another rooster. I thought...
My coturnix quail has a developed a red, scaly rash on her belly and feathers appear to be missing. I don’t know how long she’s had this. No major changes in behavior except she no longer jumps on top of her sandbox (her favorite). She still dusts in her sandbox, but not as much as before. She...
I noticed a red rash on both my Rhode Island Red’s legs yesterday. It was still there this am when I checked on them. Neither of my other two chickens have it. She also has a small red patch on her belly just below her vent. She may have gotten bit by fire ants as they were digging around some I...
Hey all. Looking for advice on a medical issue one of my turkey poults seems to be having. She had club foot when we got her, which I managed to correct by making her a tape boot. About 3 days ago, I noticed she was spending a lot of time sitting and seemed in pain when walking, so I checked her...
Hi all!
I’m a new chick owner and I have a bit of a concern. I noticed one of our chicks was pecking under her wing, when I went to look there appeared to be a rash. I tried to look it up but most other threads had dried blood involved and we don’t.i have attached a picture for reference. She...
I just bought 3 new chickens that are a year old. One has this big spot of missing feathers around its vent and the skin looks irritated. I sprayed the Vitrycin stuff on it just now but my main concern is that maybe its a disease that can spread to my other chickens? I isolated the 3 birds for 3...
I finally figured out that I’m allergic to my chickens when I touch them. I’ve had a horrible scaly oozing painful rash on both hands and wrists for nearly 9 months before it dawned on me that the rash appeared within a day or two of getting my first baby chicks last year. The rash gets much...

Princess Grace isn't looking too hot these days :(
A few weeks ago we noticed she was losing feathers on her breast and there was some swelling, so we treated her for sour crop (yogurt, apple cider vinegar, chamomile, massage, and one...
Hi all,
So I have two Lionhead Dwarf rabbits, and today I noticed a patch of what looks like eczema (I know, I have it on my hands) on Simba, our boy. It’s on his upper back just below his neck.
He’s about 5 years old, he’s been fixed, and their generally healthy except for the fact that they...
