The thought crossed my mind…hmm, the other boys are silkies and about twice his size so maybe so but I’ve only seen the top two roos fight a little and they both ignore him and the other silkie roo doesn’t seem to fight with anybody. Does seem like the most likely cause I guess. I’ll have to...

Personally I’d snip it off.

Looks to me like shes being pecked by the other chickens. I have a cochin/silkie mix that looks just like that but I have roos and shes a favorite.

I’ve ordered and have received what I ordered. Have not tested to confirm product is as advertised but I believe it to be.

Tough to say from here. Does it seem like its about to rip off? Is it just cracked? How badly is it bleeding? Whats the run like? Is he in a lot of mud? I think the time I bandaged a toe was a silkie roo almost completely ripped his nail off so I cut the little bit that was flopping around and...

I’d probably leave her be. It felt like after getting it all out of my hen she’d start feeling better pretty quick and get back to eating and drinking on her own. Maybe look into acidified copper sulfate or https://meyerhatchery.com/products/Fluconazole-100-mg-10-tablets-p258345199 I went...

One of my older girls had sour crop bad and it was kind of a cycle I chased for a while. It’s very apparent. I have another hen who always has a giant squishy crop and I was a little worried at first but thats just how she is.

I’ve had a few chickens break off their nails, one I wrapped up for a couple days with some ointment but they’ve all healed okay. One particular hen, her nail never grew back but it’s not been a problem.

Hello, I’m hoping to maybe get an opinion on my little dUccle rooster, he’s got something going on with both wings, same spot - theres some feather damage and kind of red raw skin that concerns me beyond typical feather picking/pecking from other chickens. I don’t really see him get in fights...

I’d say full recovery. I’m very thankful to have a happy ending, thank you all again. I didn’t want to make a new thread for such a minor issue but thought I might post in this thread hoping to maybe get an opinion on my little dUccle rooster, he’s got something going on with his wings. I don’t...

Poor thing. I really don’t have any advice but I hope you can get her healed up - very tough situation.

Oh gosh, that looks way worse, poor thing! Hope you can get her cleaned up and get that poop off and disinfected. Fingers crossed for her.

Quick update - Misty is back with all her friends and doing very well. I continue applying ointment and checking on her daily but at this point her bottom is looking very good, her wound has almost closed up, and I feel confident she’s fine. Thank you for your guidance!
