My quail seems to have swollen back claws (toes on the back of their feet) I’m not sure if the nails have come off or that the skin has swollen around them but they are not visible and the claw seems to be rather swollen compared to my other quails, what could this be and how would I fix it? I...
Hi,
I have a 1.5 year old EE with a swollen and painful right foot. She has significant swelling on top between her toes and her foot pad is firm and enlarged.
6 months ago I took her to vet because of swelling and bumble foot scab on the other (left) foot. The vet noted swelling on bottom of...
help, one of our chicks got caught in between the incubator sections and her leg is red and swollen, it looks really bad and we don’t know what to do, we can’t put a splint on it like we have in the past as it is closer to the body
Hey my polish hen (1y/o). Has been limping for a while and we noticed her leg at the joint was swollen. We’ve been trying to keep her comfortable to heal but recently we noticed a growth/bump on the same leg but not by the joint. She doesn’t have this bump on her other leg.
Any ideas what it is?
Hello everyone! I need help with one of my chickens. Three days ago she started to be very sad, her belly was swollen so we thought that she had "water belly" and also her poop was really weird it was white and much like liquid, it wasn't normal. The next day we got syringe and a 18G needle we...
I have a chicken I’ve had since June of this year. She’s my absolute baby and I really don’t want her to go through this pain/die but vet is just not an option in our area. I’m pretty sure this is bumblefoot but still not completely sure. (Pictures attached) Any advice on care or any stories of...
Hello again!
So, I just thought I'd ask, to be proactive.
Over the last year, I have been battling bumblefoot with my hens. I had to do many mini 'surgeries' to drain the bumblefoot, then I would use hen healer ointments/sprays and wrap their feet/foot.
Around 4 months ago, two of my hens...
I found one of my quail today looking like this. What is it? What can I do to help her?
This is not my photo, but one I found online. However, it looks just like this! Poor thing—thank you in advance!
Our roosters knees look red swollen and meat is puffy on knees. Took to vet got antibiotics and cream. Don't know what this could be from. Looks as if he was shot in the knees. Which isn't the case here, just trying to paint a pic of what it looks like. It looks so painful and I don't knew...
So I have a silkie I found yesterday that started with swollen eyes and some yellow gunk on the inside of the beak where the nares are. A few hours later the inside of the beak swelled up and the throat seems to be swollen too and she has mucus coming from her eyes and nose but it is not crusty...
I’ve been having some issues with one of my duck’s foot. It started about 2 weeks ago - Mav started limping after another duck, Luna, attempted to mount her (ducks are now separated til my males stop being hormonal).
separated Mav for the night so she’d be encouraged to just rest.
after a few...
Hello, my lady has swollen feet. When I got her a few weeks ago I made a mistake and didn't check her feet, she had scaly legs, which I've been treating with ballistol oil. They're getting better and suddenly today I see that her feet are swollen like this? Could this be bumble foot? Should I...
Hey everyone. Yesterday I noticed my RIR rooster’s left eye was extremely swollen and the eye looks a bit grey. He also seems to not be able to hold his head completely stable, but he had a neck injury a few months ago.
he’s not sneezing and he’s still crowing. Poop looks normal. Our chicks free...

First time chicken mom, first time posting! And I’ve already got chicken issues a few months into this!
On Friday evening, one our chickens, named Animal, flew out of the run (it had a 6” gap at the top that I was in the process of still completing). We found it 10ft away from the coop at...
Goof morning. I noticed bloody stool in the run yesterday while I was doing my daily clean up. I noticed some dried blood on my girl Katie this morning (no more bloody stool that I noticed today). I soaked her in a Epsom salt bath and cleaned her vent area and noticed the lip of her vent...
Hi there everybody! Unfortunately, Our flock of 4 recently went down to 3 with the sudden death of one of our chickens a few weeks ago. We are unsure of how she died, she was fine, and then an hour later she was dead in the yard, no predators, no obvious illness and no explanation as to why she...
Hello. My only male guinea, 2 yo, had been limping for the past 2 weeks, ever since he flew back down from the roof of the house (not an uncommon occurrence, it has never bothered him before). Included are photos of his very swollen middle toe. It is hard and had a yellowish tint. Could I need...
