Hi everyone.
So I noticed one of my chicks was looking much bigger than the others and when I grabbed her I noticed how swollen her underside, her chest, and neck were. The area feel very soft as if they are full of liquid, yet she seems absolutely fine and she's eating very well.
None of the...
Hello!! I have four 2 1/2 week old chicks in a brooder. The buff brahma, Mo, has a swollen vent and it appears to be wet around it, maybe like she had diarrhea. The other 3 don't have anything wrong. Mo had pasty butt the first night I brought her home but that was reversed the same night and...
I dont know how to treat this. It struggle to poo but poo is normal. Checks of vent indicates no pasty but just the swelling which impedes its poop. Any suggestions as to how I can help it?
Going to try Magnesium sulfate soak.
I have a new Pearl Guinea chick that was born about 2 hours ago today and his left eye is protruding and swollen with this sack like substance over his eye. I do have pictures.
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...
Hi. I have a muscovy hen that had her nest destroyed most likely by a raccoon and hurt her leg in the process.
I think it is fractured just below the ankle. She will not put any weight on it. The leg below the ankle is hot and very swollen. I can feel movement of the bone in there that I do not...
About two months ago I noticed my duck had bumble foot so I started treating it with vetericyn and Epsom soaks. Her foot looks to be doing better but recently she started limping on her other foot. It was swollen and hot to the touch, it seems to be getting worse and I don't know what's wrong or...
I have a baby chick that was attacked by a hawk yesterday. She got two talon cuts.one above each wing. I washed the wounds with betadine solution and applied triple antibiotic cream. I also gave her a little injection of penicillin. She seemed to do better and even ate a little yesterday...
We bought chicks of various breeds around Easter.
Problem:
One's eye was shut, and swollen all around it (6-7 days ago now). We thought it was pecked or something, as there were no other signs we noticed wrong with it (eats, drinks, moves around fine, good balance, very active when washing out...
Continuing on from an earlier thread, one of my girls is going downhill. She an ex-battery hen and was the slowest to recover after the cages but she's tough and has been doing really well until recently. She's probably around 3.
Her symptoms are a swollen belly (waterballoon like) and isn't...
I asked about this in my local thread and got great responses but after looking at treatments and having time to examine the chick more, I think it may be something else.
I just picked up these chicks today (my first ever chicks) from the post office. One of the four Brahmas I picked up has an...
Hello, thanks for reading! My mother took in a young quail with a lame foot a few months ago. Recently, she stopped walking on her good foot as well and started running around in her knee(?) joints. We took a closer look and discovered the skin above her joint was extremely swollen/ lumpy. I've...
I noticed my chicken, Vanilla, has been staying in the coop often, at first i thought she was going broody but when i went to give her an egg to see if she'd put it under her i noticed her feet, ive never seen anything like it, it seems she walks with a limp and tries to avoid walking so im...
I am looking for someone who can help me identify what is going on with my roo, and what we can do to help him here at home. I have an Australorp/RIR roo that I hatched out last year, and he is now fully mature. We noticed a few days ago that he could not lift his head and I immediately brought...
Hi, this is my first post here and hope someone can help. I have a new ex battery hen and she has a bare rear end which is very swollen - sounds awful but it looks like the sausagemeat when its been cooked with a roast turkey - sorry :( - I've put my finger in her vent (about 2 inches in) and...
Hi all!
Just have an question regarding one of our girls wattle.
Does anyone know what she may have? She’s eating and drinking, has a full crop but has gone off the lay.
Her face is swollen on one side (as per photo) and I think this has been slowing getting bigger.
Her shells have been very...
Ok I've read so much I've confused myself . One of my hens eyes are watery and almost swollen shut . She has no other symptoms. The rest of the flock is good other than a sneeze here and there but all eyes and nostrils are clear . The hen with the swollen eyes has clear nostrils as well. I'm...
