Hi, New poster to BYC however have read 100's of threads and the site is always my go to... I had to isolate my 30 week old pullet Elsa the other as she had a very nasty wound just under her vent. The other chickens were obviously pursuing her and how much of their pecking is to blame I'm...

TW-pic is a little gruesome hey all i went out to my chickens this morning and found my favourite chicken acting off. upon further discovery i have found an open wound on her back just above her tail. i suspect she has been attacked by one of my bigger chickens as she cannot fully see so...

Hello All, New here and joined for the sole purpose of figuring out what the heck happened to our 2 ducks that were severely injured and had to be put down this weekend. I'm attaching photos of the only wounds found, but they had to be put down because of what we think was more internal...

Long story short, last week a raccoon killed my flock of bantams. Two survivors were injured. The one I'm calling Glory for right now had her head chomped on. Her whole face was a grotesque, mauled mass of blood and meat. Her beak was off center and her tongue hung out. I've done everything I...

I had a hen get snatched by a fox yesterday evening around 6pm and drug into the woods. By 8pm she was running into the side of the pen wanting in...she escaped the fox! We let her in and locked her up. When i let her out today I noticed she had quite a few feathers missing, reached for her...

I rescued a turkey poult on the day it hatched. Either the mother or other members of the flock were killing the hatchlings and this one, wounded and blind in one eye has survived. The mom who belongs to a neighbor who is presently out of the country had built a nest (hidden from sight for...

Last week we moved 9, 2 Cockerels and 7 Pullets, all 14 weeks old, to the new Coop after dark. Day one no issues. Day two found one of the Jersey Giant Pullets missing a 2x2 patch of feathers right side of her tail and bottom. The skin was torn and bloody. We cleaned her up and applied Wound...

Hey all, I'm trying to get an idea of what to do next. My 11 month old Mascovy female has a pretty big wound on her back I'm not sure if its from my Drake's or if a rat got her in the night but it happened yesterday. (I care for my ducks once a day so anything out of the ordinary I notice right...

How's everyone's Christmas Eve going? All well I hope. Yesterday I was at a family Christmas and didn't get home until late. All I did was fill up waterers when I got home. Today I'm actually out looking at everyone and one of my rooster's feet is deformed and he curls it under while walking...

please please anyone that can help. My rooster, who as of today is no longer with us ...ripped the crest damn near clean off my pekin duck girls head. She was covered in blood head to tail when I got home and it just looks like bloody mushy skin at the top of her head where her crest USED to be...

Hello, I bought 8 more chicks to add to my flock of 4. When the chicks grew to pullets, I introduced them to my older chickens. I thought everything was going well, maybe one or two pecks at each other, but nothing bad at all. Yesterday, when I got home from school, I found one of the pullets...

my flock was recently terrorized by some animal(s) the last 3 nights. It climbed onto the roof of the coop and got in through the vent. (I have since put up hardware cloth) but half of my flock is gone. About 3 a night. However two of them were severely injured do I need to sow these wounds...

I am filled with hate. My girl was healing, it had been 2.5 weeks and her wound was looking so much better. believe me, it was extravagant to see. but... she died. very recent actually. i'm still grieving as i'm writing this. I know exactly how she died. Besides her being a little malnourished...

Hello everybody, I just found this today, and I am in need of some help! Yesterday my girlfriend and I got a call saying that there was a scared looking turkey along side the highway near my town. Naturally we hopped right up and zoomed in to rescue the poor guy. I don't have any fowls, but...
