    Rooster with serious swelling on head.

    We treated the main injury causing it, but he's swelled so much that one eye has a hard time opening and we're hearing gurgling when he breaths. What caused the injury was a duck drake that tore up his head. The poor silky has no muff up top anymore. His left eye is swollen to the point where it...

    Swollen foot indian runner duck

    Hey guys, one of my runners started limping and when I checked her foot, there was no injury to the pad like I assumed there would be. There is a swollen area on the top between two of the toes, which feels warm to the touch. Should I lance this and try to see if there's anything to drain? Leave...

    Swelling on foot- not sure if it’s bumblefoot?

    Hello! I feel absolutely terrible about how long it’s taken me to notice this, but one of my chickens has very bad swelling on one of her feet. However I do not see any scab that might indicate bumblefoot, only a small indentation in one area- does anyone have any ideas of what it might be ? She...

    Help my chicken's butt is huge red and swollen with yellow poop!!!

    Hi there, a couple days ago I noticed that my year old chicken's butt became swollen, red and bloody. It looks like part of her stomach is coming out of her butt. Also, she's been pooping yellow goo. She's the lowest on the pecking order due to her legs being sprained, I don't know if that's...

    Anyone know what this was?

    One of our hens has been limping on and off for a bit now. We did notice a toe missing (we assumed frostbite after a cold winter?) and some swelling. It seemed to get better and then worse for about 2 weeks now. We had caught her a few times looking for any black scabs (suspected bumble foot)...

    Chicken with ascites. Please help!

    On Sunday I first noticed that one of my chickens was looking a bit bloated. By Monday her abdomen was very large and she was struggling to breathe.

    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.

    Swollen Comb?

    I just picked up a whole bunch of chickens the other day. I noticed we got a Leghorn in this batch! But I noticed that the comb was a lot thicker than what I'm used to seeing. She is laying and acting fine. No other obvious signs of illness otherwise. Is it just me? Or is it swollen...

    Large swelling on foot?

    Hello! My duck, Nibbles, has recently developed a large swelling on his foot. He isn’t moving much because he doesn’t want to put pressure on it, but he otherwise seems healthy. It has been there for about 3-4 days. Does anyone know what this might be?
