hurt chicken leg

Hey all, I’ve had an injured Brahma for a week now, at first there was no sign of injury, not even swelling, but she had a severe limp so I brought her inside and put her in a crate, and have been giving her 81mg of aspirin twice a day with scrambled eggs. She continues to eat, drink, and...

Hi! My hen/rooster (I am unsure of the gender since she is only four months old, but it may be a hen), who is a Silkie-Turken-Showgirl, has been acting rather strange. When I opened up the chickens, I found her laying down in the middle of the coop. She usually sleeps on a roost with another...

I have never seen a chicken face plant until today. I was letting my chickens out of the coop and my fat chicken named Poppy (Cochin) ran over my not so fat chicken Lavender (Lavender Orpington) making her face plant and now she has been acting hurt. I checked her over and she seems ok as far as...

My roosters leg recently went limp, but now he has movement in his hip. However, his leg has started to heal pointing inward underneath him and it is crossing over his good leg so it makes even hopping difficult. He doesn't seem to be in pain. He's eating, drinking, and when I set him out for a...

(this is my first time posting so I'm sorry in advance if there are any problems) Three days ago I noticed that one of my 10 month old hens seemed a little off. When I went to give them their food that morning she was standing on top of one of my brooder boxes; looking a bit sulky so I...

Hi! One of our chickens has been lying on her Left side for 4 days. We separated her from the flock (total of 19 chickens) and have her in a box with water and feed. She can’t stand on her feet. She looks healthy otherwise. What could be the issue? Also, we discovered that a few chickens have...

Hi guys- I have 6 GLW's all about 3 months old. Blanche, my biggest girl, has all of a sudden developed a hard time standing in one place for more than 30 seconds and kind of walks a little wobbly. I've been monitoring her all morning (noticed this last night just before dark) and she still...

One of my 14 week old pullets got out of the run yesterday (totally my fault; I've since fixed the issue) and the dog got a hold of her. Thankfully, the dog just grabbed her and ran, but didn't make it too far before we caught up. She was definitely in shock last night - panting, etc. After...

I have a poor little hen. She's about 10 months old. She has had the worse luck. First she got frostbite on her foot. After a month of lots of limping and Epson salt soaks, her foot fell off and she had a nub. She could get around but limped still. Well today I was horrified. I went to feed...

Chick hatched (naturally) yesterday. When we were checking on the hen and all her chicks today, we found one with a hurt leg. It has a couple cut places, swollen near the joint, and can't hold weight. We took the chick out of that pen and have brought it inside for the night. We are using a...

Hi, we are fairly new to raising chickens. We bought our first batch from Rural King back in March of this year. 17 of them and they are healthy and strong and laying eggs and doing great. In April we revisited rural king and they had two baby chicks all alone in a crate, their brothers and...

Our precious Bébé's leg is twisting outwards. I will attach a video showing what it looks like, and how she moves. It wasn't like this when she was a chick. Nothing looked out of the ordinary, and it seemed to all change in the matter of a day or two. There was nothing traumatic that happened...
