    Injured Duck Wing

    My Khaki Campbell has a seemingly injured left wing. She keeps it mostly tucked in and cannot flap it. Right now an avian physician is not an option. I've just let it be for around a week to see if it's just a sprain and will heal on it's own, but I've had little improvement. I think I should...

    Feather Sexing - advice please

    So I know feather sexing isn't reliable all breeds. I have four hybrids and one has hardly any wings feathers and one has big big wing feathers. Is there anyway for me to tell which is male or female or do I need to wait? Why is one growing faster than the other three.

    Dark red lump under wing

    Hello, my chicken was holding her wing awkwardly and when I looked underneath there is a horrifically big lump. Does anyone know what it could be and if it's curable or if I need to cull her please? I've learned the hard way not to let them suffer if they're very sick.

    Weird wing on baby chick!

    Hello! I have a baby Brahma with a weird wing. It didn’t show sings of discomfort when inspecting it and it can move it. Could this be just a growth deformity? Or something else? I just want to make sure it doesn’t affect its quality of life. Chick is less than a week old

    Do chickens get new wing feathers?

    I had a chicken injured last fall by a dog that we were able to save, but in the process, I had to clip back feathers on one wing, so the feathers didn’t contaminate the wound and reduce risk of infection and irritation from rubbing, as the wound was right behind/under the back of her wing...

    Holding wing away from body

    This girl is intermittently holding one wing away from her body. Sometimes she’s doing it and sometimes she’s not. She doesn’t appear in distress. Is this a common injury or strain? And how long before you would seek veterinary care?
