I took my older (about 4-4.5 years) hen to the vet for bumble foot a couple months ago. She had swelling in both feet but only had a scab on one (that I removed), they did some wound debridement, dressed the foot and gave me an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory. I gave her the medications for...
I am very new to geese. I have a 7 week old female, a lot of her feathers are in but her chest is almost completely bare. It looks like she's over-preening there but I'm not sure and I'm so afraid something is wrong with her and I'm not seeing it! She's showing no signs of illness or mites, nor...
We treated our rooster for mites a few months ago when we noticed he started limping. We kept an eye on him to make sure all the mites were gone. He kept taking turns on each leg, skin and comb looked healthy and he still seemed strong so we hoped he would improve. Unfortunately he didn't...

My 18 month old BO seems to intermittently have a red-tinged foot. A few days ago I noticed a subtle hobble or limp but it was barely detectable. She was still getting around fine and jumping up and down from roosts. Since then it seems to have faded, but today I noticed one of her feet/legs...
Hello! My polish was grabbed by a hawk the other day. Fortunately we were close by and able to thwart the attack. She only has some scratching around her face. Both her and the hawk blew out feathers but I don’t think it pulled any off of her. I wanted to see what you all think of it and if we...
My polish hen is about three years old and has bumble foot. She weighs around 5 pounds maybe even less and we've been treating her with oral amoxicillin, epsom salt soak, betadine soak, and antibiotic creams. She does not have a black scab anymore and we've popped some of the infection out. It's...
One of my hens has some redness on her foot. She has strange feet anyways...think a birth defect or something?..outside toes turn oddly and she has some kind of growths(had those for a long time-no issues) Not sure if she could have bumblefoot? I don't have any experience with it. Took some...
So I'm currently fighting lice, I began treating everyone a few days ago and discovered some had really bad lice nits below their vents. I discovered one of my girls is extremely raw and swelled. It feels like a water balloon. I'm not sure if it's because of the lice problem she had orr? I...
These chicks were perfectly fine and all of a sudden when I brought them outdoors to sleep and live in the soil, this is what happened to 4 of them....
Is soil causing this?
The chicks are healthy but this is the redness towards the bum they have...
