Hello, I have got a chick from a couple days old. It's eye looks infected. It's only his right eye, his left eye is normal. Could someone help me with what to do? (The eye is wet on the photo because we tried to clean it)
Chicken’s eye is swollen!
One of my chicken’s eyes are closed. Only one is swollen, which is the right one. How do I treat it? Im going to make a vet appointment but I want to treat it myself until we go to the vet. Please help. He also has some blue around his eyes. Help
Hi BYC Family!
I went out this morning to let my ducks out for the day, and my khaki campbell girl was walking just (or so it seemed). Then, about ten minutes later after I came back from feeding our horses, she was severely limping, but still attempting to run with the rest of the flock. Her...
I noticed a few days ago my hen Fauna has a lump on top of her toe, but I couldn't tell what it was so I sprayed some oregano on it and waited to see if it'd shrink. I came back after the weekend and its a bit bigger now, so I did more research. I don't think its bumblefoot, I can't find a scab...
Hi! I have 2 hens that I just bought on an online auction. 2 brahmas . I am currently quarantining them. So I couldn’t tell from the pictures but the one chicken has a swollen eye and was absolutely covered in feces of what I can only assume to be hers and others. All over her back and down the...

My cream legbar is at the very bottom of the pecking order and the smallest hen of the bunch. 3 days ago we noticed one of her earlobes was swollen with this weird dark spot in the middle. We can’t tell if it’s getting worse, but it’s definitely not getting better.
Is this something to worry...
My RIR had a ingrown nail that is now healed. He still limps and his foot is swollen. I don’t see anything that should be causing it. He still eats and drinks. He favors his left foot and don’t put all his weight on it. This makes it impossible to roost. Please help.
I hope this is the right place to post this, I'm sorry if I got it wrong.

One of the chickens, Blueberry, a very heavy bird (Beechwood Blue), has had some trouble recently. She's always had terrible bumblefoot since she's such a heavy breed (I tried to cut it out but failed, not allowed to try again and vets here don't do it or care), and she...
