Hi everyone about a week ago i noticed this bump on my button quails leg. It was not as big as the picture before but it seems to be getting worse now. Shes now limping but it doesnt seem to be hurting her when i squeeze it. What could be ?
Quail has had a swollen foot for like 2 weeks. There are not quail vets and ect in my area so that's out. No sign of injuries, so sign of bumble foot, it's just swollen and semi mushy. All the swollen area is a purpleish color. I have her in with my baby quail in the brooder. I've started...
One of my ducklings got his leg caught in some wire late last night/early this morning. He is drinking water but not eating. I moved him inside so the other ducks wouldn't get on his leg. He can't get up/stand up, of course. I'm not sure what I should do to help him. I'm not even sure if he will...
Okay, so I have this friend who has a couple Barred Rock hens. They are about 2 years old. When they were about months old, they were attacked in a chicken coop by rats. One died. One sustained some injuries (but is fine now) but Maggie May was attacked bad. He said you could see the bone in the...

Hello!
New to BYC and looking for some advice.
I have six laying girls. They are 1 1/2 yo. About 4 weeks ago, Coconut (white brahma) had a swollen eye. Waited a few days because I thought it might be a pecking accident hoping the swelling would subside. They eye was still swollen and started...
First, thanks to everyone who has offered advice and support for little Henrietta! She was bullied at the store by the larger & stronger chicks and was in trouble. She's clearly a very strong little gal. She battled for life a day or two before being noticed. I imagine that coming into such...
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...
My 1 1/2 year old barred rock became suddenly ill today. Lethargic, unable to walk or stand for a period, possible fever and with abdomen distended. While I was running the warm water to treat for egg bound, I placed her in the nest where she passed an egg. Her crop was also watery, squishy and...
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...
I have a 2 yo buff Orpington that has a swollen face around her right eye. It came on in a matter of hours, she was fine when I let them out in the morning yesterday, then in the afternoon it was swollen. I gave her .5ml children’s Benadryl yesterday, along with some antibiotic ointment on the...
Hi there, I have some sort of an emergency with my hen. We've had her for almost 2 years, but about 2 days ago I noticed her left eye was swollen, which it wasn't the day before, I thought it was just going to go down in a couple of days, but it doesn't seem to be going down and the eye socket...
We just noticed this morning and it couldn't have been going on more than a few days. Her other eye seems fine, and she is acting totally normal. I don't notice anything weird with any of the other chickens either. I tried looking up exactly what it was but couldn't find any pictures that looked...
There's a hard lump under my pullet's earlobe. I searched through many "earlobe" threads on here, but none of them seemed to address exactly what's going on. Please help.
1) Minerva Louise is a black Ameraucana pullet, approximately 15 weeks old. We weighed her last week at 1 lbs, 11.8 oz...
I have a polish chick that is about a month old. She got pasty butt a few weeks ago that I thought I treated. Her vent is now swollen and gets “clogged” fairly easily but it’s not pasty butt. She’s in the house so that I can keep it clean. I’ve been rinsing it with warm water and applying...
You may remember me from the drooling duck that we wound up having to tube feed after an animal attack (she's doing great now, thanks for all your help!). We thought we had their area secured but found out otherwise when they were attacked again. This time they were found before we lost...
We have a lot of chickens, mostly Silkies, and recently our neighbour gave us some duck eggs.
The oldest duckling, Quip, is about 2-3 months old, and we've brought them inside with their adopted mother to keep them safe after they received an injury (which has been healing nicely), but for 4...
Hi
My older hen Lizzie died Tues night from impacted crop and probably other complications. I will post more later about this, after info from the necropsy. She had swollen toes on one foot. The vet looked at it. It did not seem like an abscess.
Now one of my younger chickens has very, very...
Hi all! This is a very strange problem for me, but so far I haven't been able to find any online help for it so I figured I'd ask my fellow chicken lovers. I have a 2 week old lavender orpington (we are 90% sure it's a roo based on wing sexing) that seems to have a very swollen hip. It's whole...
My duck, Jack, has been struggling to walk for the past year and a half. His left leg has shifted to the center of his body and is his main support. His right leg he refuses to use, he holds it up or won’t stand up. His right leg joint is much larger than the other, but he doesn’t seem bothered...
