waddle

Here is my Smokey Pearl, Pearl. Just courteous, why are her comb, waddle, and legs are black?

I noticed a spot appear on my Roo's comb a few days ago that I initially thought looked like a wound, but now I've found what looks to be a few small scabs on his comb and waddle. I was able to get a few good pics of his comb and waddle. Does this look like it could be Fowlpox or something...

my hen mabel, six years old, is acting very unlike herself. she is at the top of the pecking order and never gets bullied; we also don’t have a rooster. she has been showing every sign of sickness: lethargy, depressed appetite, hiding, and unusual posture. she never ran when i approached her and...

My duck is walking funny the first thing my mind goes to is broken leg but I really hope not. What do you think? https://vimeo.com/842344022?share=copy https://vimeo.com/842344591?share=copy

I got this little one has a baby. She was sold as a orpington but as her feathers came in it was obvious she was not. Pretty sure she’s a barred rock. She has the paint wash legs, had a spot on her head as a baby. But now at 5/6 weeks I’ve notice waddles coming in.. her comb is yellow but the...

Chicken was fine yesterday. Chicken now has a dark hard dry waddle. Chicken is acting fine eating drinking etc. No changes To the chickens behavior other than the lesion on the waddle

Does this look like the beginnings of a polish roo? 8/9 weeks old. First time owning polish chickens. Thanks!

What gender are these silkies, and this buff Orpington? This buff has a larger comb and waddles than the other two that came with him. About 16 weeks old (all of them).

So today I noticed 2 of my chickens with one swollen eye. And my Cochin eye is swollen and her waddle started turning black. Help!! Please tell me it’s just pink eye and not Coryza. No symptoms like sneezing, breathing funny, runny nose, my RIR did have a little bubble in the corner of her eye...

I’m sorry this is probably a common problem among northern chickens but my rooster has a blister on the top part of his comb and the entire comb is looking quite pale. We had a night that reached 3F the other day and last night maxed out around 10F. I’m assuming it’s the start of frostbite. What...

Hello! This is my first post. I have 5 beautiful - 8 month old buff Brahma hens. 2 of them just started laying about 2 weeks ago and im sure the others will follow suit soon. However, I have 1 brahma that is always the last to run over to me, she is very shy and will not eat out of my hand, and...

Gertrude (our 7 month old barred rock) suddenly stopped laying about 3 weeks ago after giving me 6 eggs a week for 6 weeks. At first I thought it was was the lack of sun (we are in CT) but November 1 is a little early to stop, no? So in case of worms I decided to give some DE mixed in food, but...

Ok so my chickens are a couple weeks overdue according to the usual 6 months egg laying age. There’s only one girl with a less predominant waddle but all their waddles are bright red. I have provided them oyster shell grit, regular grit, and egg laying feed. They aren’t hanging in a specific...

Hi so I bought 6 pullets from tractor supply but I know fully well sometimes it can happen. This is the only chicken that isn’t getting along with my male guinea fowl...they aren’t fighting yet but whenever the guinea fowl gets close to the chicken the chicken scoots as fast as possible to avoid...

Hey y’all, not sure what age these ladies are... when will their combs & waddles come in/redden? if anyone has any general estimates on age that’s welcome too?

I have 4 RIR hens that are about 20 weeks old and all of them have very light red waddles. They are not bright red like I see in pictures. Does this mean they are not well? They act fine and do not show ant sign they are sick. Maybe just have not matured enough yet? Is there any need to be...

Hi there! I’m in my first year of owning three awesome Golden Comets, Rose, Coop and R2-D2.(can you tell we let the kids name them? Haha.) We got them the weekend after Easter, and they’re all the same age, but I’m a bit confused. I’ve recently noticed that Rose has a nice sized red comb...

Okay, I live in Ma. Its been below zero the past week and a half (aside from today& yesterday) we got 16inches of snow and then a freeze... Wile doing my daily check on the "chickies" i noticed that the one and only dwarf bird that is owned here (RUDY THE ROOSTER) had frostbite on his comb. Just...

Hi! We've raised chickens for many years, but this is our first year with a rooster. He is a silver-laced wyandott, and a very good guardian. He is usually gentle with the hens and pretty docile for a rooster, which is why we decided to keep him (we were supposed to get all females in our...

I searched around for an answer online and cannot find an exact answer. And not to mention, many of the diseases sound the same. My hen is about 10 months old and out of nowhere one day she started acting funny. She sits in one spot for long periods of time and her tail feathers stand straight...
