One of our hyline brown hens has had their leg injured. I can’t see anything external but she is definitely in pain and is limping, and will usually lie down instead of standing. We don’t want to take her to the vet because of the cost, but is there any way to help her leg at home?

Hello everyone,
My 3 year and 4 month old leghorn hen has just been experiencing a hard/solid crop and is repeatedly adjusting her crop (even when she is roosting/sleeping). She is still acting perfectly fine, eating/drinking normally and is active. I'm not so sure about how her poop looks like...
Hello everyone,

Hello-
Recently I have noticed one of my chicks has a growth on its beak. It is hard and feels the same as its beak. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? Any info will help, thank you !
To cut straight to the point,
I have this little pullet I love dearly, she’s the sweetest chicken I have ever owned so far.
Recently however she hasn’t been doing so good, first I realised she’d tip over a bit when walking fast.
