Hello, I noticed my duck limping yesterday which we have seen our other ducks do before and they usually come right the next day. However this duck is still limping on day two and sitting down a lot. She is a free range duck so not very friendly to just pick up. I noticed today her foot was a...
Hi all one of my hens went missing for 3 months and by a miracle we found her on the side of the road this afternoon!
She is unable to walk and we are unsure if she was hit by a car or if it is an infection.
She is eating, drinking and purring. I’ve attached images below also!
I look forward...
My baby barred rock, Melody, has a swollen foot. I am wondering if it could be broken? It is tender to the touch but I don’t feel anything broken. No signs of mites and I don’t think it is bumble foot (there is one small spot but the top is really swollen to be a mild bumble case). Any other...
My rooster Bateh has something wrong with his eyes. I don't know when it happened but he has foamy eyes and discharge from them.
I haven't visited him for a while so I don't know how he's been acting, but I need help.
He keeps closing his eyes and they're really watery.
His foot also looks...
My chicken feet have been swollen for the last weeks or 2 and I don’t know what it is
I’ve been soaking her in warm water and Epsom salts and that help bring down the swelling and walk a little easer
I thought it was bumble foot at first but haven’t gotten worse and theres no scab
I’m starting...
II have a 2 year old speckled Sussex hen with an extremely swollen foot and no scab on the bottom. I don't think it's scaly leg mites either because her scales are fairly smooth. Her normally smooth feathers are super scraggly looking, her comb is pale and wattles are really thin. She limps when...
i have a 3ish year old chicken, maybe Rhode island red? i just noticed she was limping today, checked the foot and the bad leg is swollen and seems to have a scab? i tried washing it to see if it was dirt but there’s only so much washing she will let me do haha
first image is her right foot, the...
My light Brahma roo starting limping 4-5 days ago. Treated him for scaly leg yesterday, no real improvement today. He's a big guy and still eating, drinking, crowing and watching his ladies just hopping on one leg and pawing at the air with the other. Sits from time to time because he's tired...
When I let my 6 hens out this morning, one remained on the perch, Ethel. Yesterday she ran around fine. She is the lowest on the pecking order, and has had an issue with shaking her head and walking backwards for several months.
She eats drinks and is in good health. She will not stand on her...
Can anyone help with identifying what this might be? A couple weeks ago I noticed one of my ducks limping and not walking much. Her right ankle is very swollen and now I see this sore. Any help identifying what it might be and treatment would be greatly appreciated.
this morning when i opened the coop door, our boss hens ran right down the ramp as usual, however i noticed one of them didn’t come out like she normally does (Ellie) . i opened the back door of the coop, picked her up off the roost and at the door to go down the ramp when i noticed she was...
I just noticed that one of my chickens has an extremely swollen foot. I feel awful for not noticing sooner but she doesn’t appear to be limping or anything that I can see and her other foot is completely fine. She does seem to have a little bit of a hard time balancing on the roost with it...
My duck is a boy and a year old.
He had a series of foot problems
His legs were crooked when he was a baby.
We didn't know why.
But she ran and played, so there was no problem.
A few months ago he suffered a long swell of one of his legs
I tried human calcium, vitamin Ad3
But it didn't work, and...
So I have a light brahma. She is 7.5 weeks old and at first the issue was that she was being pushed away from the food and has become severely underweight and is 3× smaller than her two sisters of the same breed and age and even smaller than the smallest breeds I have that are a week younger...
I had a very interesting thing happen to me a few days also and I will certainly keep it from happening again.
My partner and I were putting some chicks into a box because we had a customer showing up soon, and we wanted to take them out to show them. I noticed one of the chicks looked ill, so...
My poor little “teddy” 5 weeks old and the family sweetie has a swollen foot! They are outside most of the day. Her toes look fine and there’s no bruising it’s just the area where all the toes connect to the foot the “pad” I guess you’d call it. She is still trucking along not limping or...
Hi!
New chick mom here, hoping for some suggestions and guidance! As a preface, I did my best to research these topics before posting, in an effort not to waste anyone's time or duplicate something already addressed, but I apologize if I fail at that!
Here's my problem: I have a week old buff...
My hen was outside a week or two ago during one of the coldest weeks of the year. The cold has never bothered any of my hens before and they love to free range in the grass. Unfortunately, it had been below freezing for a couple days and I believe my chicken may have gotten frostbite.
I first...
