that has happened to me with my chickens before and i left them alone and they recovered well from a few days to a week alone but i dont have many ducks so this is probably the first time i see it, altho i do remember my drake limping around when i first got him and i just left him alone and hr...

i couldnt find an egg from her yesterday but she shows no symptom or sign of it at all, and ive seen her poop multiple times after so i dont rlly know, she seems to eat and drink and clean herself like usual she just doesnt seem to want to put weight on one side ill try to give her treats with...

so aa i was changing my flocks water today i noticed my duck like she follows me always but is limping on one of her feet, it seems swollen but i couldnt find any injuries or bumble foot, and in my experiance everytime i try to intervene by catching then and quarantine them they just get worse...

oh yea i left her alone in my experiance they do best next to their flockmates, she stopped limping too so i wouldve just stressed her out way more by locking her and possibly get worse

they dont move at all! and i havent noticed any growth on them at all, i usually just throw away the feather in case its smth i dont want around but i couldnt find anything about it anywhere, and its only on her wing feather too! i guessed maybe it could be she instinctively plucks out feathers...

i really am! had some sad experiances but i quickly realized thats just part of it, and hoping for the best!!

yea im glad i found this out or else i wouldve totally panicked lol, my first year having backyard and im learning a lot!

one of mine also started molting yesterday after a few weeks of not laying too! even tho we r in the middle of summer

one of my hens sometimes drops a wing feather and i noticed these things on it, ive treated her with an insecticide multiple times cuz i thought it was maybe that but no parasites i could find anywhere and nor on my other birds, does anyone know what they r?

thank u sm! who knew chickens r so adaptable lol, im glad limpy is thriving! and yes hopefully she ends up well whatever it could be :)

ive had this hen limp for about 10 days now, when i was observing them then thr second i took my eyes off her and looked again she was limping, looked for bumblefoot, injuries or swelling all over and couldnt find a thing next day she stopped limping completely with only sometimes standing on...

i also had my mom keep on telling me it wasnt that serious too and i swear even tho she barely knows anything about chickens shes always right.. like idk how she does it but tbh i should just listen yo her at this point shes never wrong lol and yes thats actually smth the vet told us too he said...

no literally i panicked so bad with mine and couldnt sleep cuz i didnt know how id deal with all my hens for 2 weeks treatment AND theyre skittish so id have to run after them everyday!! but it rlly was that simple and they wouldnt have needed my help at all lol, like how would huge farms with...

these look a lot like what my hens had! their foot pad expanded which i guessed its their bodies way of dealing with injuries even after thr kernel falls out itll likely still be there to act as an extra cushion (at least thats what madr sense to me) but from seeing this i dont see redness or...

so in my case, turned out i didnt even need to intervene at all! if they have a scap but not limping and acting just as normal u shouldnt worry about it, bc the black spot is almost like how our cuts as humans get covered in that black dried stuff yk? so from what i did learn the bumble foot is...
