injury

Hi all - my 4 year old Pekin hen, Jane, has been struggling for awhile with an apparent sinus infection and injured leg. There are photos to show how awful she looks. Information: - she developed an extreme limp very suddenly 4 months ago (left leg). - her limp has slowly gotten worse to the...

So almost a week ago, a fox attacked my 7 ducks and I thought i came out as it was just started since noone seemed to be badly injured. Although by the morning they were all silent and most of them limping. In the daylight i saw two of my babies had some sort of injuries that made them unable to...

Does this look like bruising ?

I just noticed an issue with my young Muscovies plucking each other's wings. They'll reach out and grab another birds wing and yank the feathers out in the process. A few were bleeding. 😬. What should I do about this and why are they doing this. I've never had this issue before?

Not sure what happened between our two ganders but it looks almost as if a blood feather has been ripped out? How should we handle this? He’s not bleeding out but it looks very sore!!

Hi everyone! I noticed one of my hens has an injury to her comb and I'm looking for a little advice since I haven't dealt with this kind of injury before. I noticed she had tiny bit of blood on her comb, and it looked as though one of the peaks on her crown was partially detached on the bottom...

Suddleny my chicken has pale waddles and comb and a bump on the side of his face he is all swollen. What could this be?

I have a 3mo old Salmon Faverolle who is limping and has a black circle scab on her foot. I am a first time chicken mum, should I take her to the vet? It looks like she’s in pain and I’ve been spraying the vetericyn on her injury twice a day and cleaned out her bedding area. What should I do?

I need help so my chicken chest a crazy cackle toppie loves to run with me. So when I let them out I run out into the yard but he runs under me and i run over him twice and he lost so many feather, will he be okay??

Gday everyone, yesterday I went out country to pick up some fresh stock of quail. Being in the urban region makes me envious of those types that can run a large farm like this breeder had. I probably picked up a few more male quail than I was supposed to! I was distracted by all the quail flying...

Have had this boy for many years - he's a good roo. Sadly, a few months back a predator got into the coop and killed three of my girls. Was either a racoon or a mink, as it just ripped their heads off. RooRoo must have done some defending, as he's been limping ever since. I couldn't see any...

So I’ve been raising my four gambel chicks and they’re all just over 2 months and now. Two of them are attached at the hip to me and two are scared to death of me. I just did a check up on all of them yesterday and they were all looking happy and healthy. Poos are normal, all the good stuff...

Hi guys! One of our goslings took a tumble into the little paddling pool as she’s quite clumsy and really hurt her wing getting out 😢 she can move it but there’s an awkwardly placed feather that seems to be very painful for her when I touch it and her squeals sound quite hoarse so I’m very...

Hello my chick has a squishy ball on his/her chest. We let the hens hatch 3 chicks this summer and they are doing well. They were born in early July. The hens never let us get close to the chicks but they have all been exploring and walking around and acting normal so we haven’t been concerned...

Hi! I need some help figuring out how to support my sweet girl. Friday night, when we went to put our girls up for bed, Florence was laying in the coop, and did not get up to greet us like normal. Upon further encouragement, she didn’t get up either. 2 hours earlier she was just fine and...

Hi my chick has recently started walking really weird, it wasn’t like this when it hatched and idk what to do about this situation, will my chicken get any better?

Hi friends! Two days ago my flock had a big scare from something in the yard, there was nothing I could see, I very was close by. One of my pullets (26 weeks old) tried to escape through a panel fence and was "stuck" there. When I came over to her there were feathers all over. I picked her up...

Hello. I’ve never seen this before. Do you know what is going on? He has no energy at all. Thanks!

So a little background, we had a mother hen sitting on some eggs, her sister who becomes broody when she does, tries to fight to sit on her eggs. We had secluded the sister in another pen so they wouldn't fight over the babies, but we let her free roam some and she somehow got back into the main...

Out of nowhere a lot of our hens started attacking one hen. Bad enough that she now has a major bloody head wound. To get them to stop and from what I’ve read we’ve separated her into a dog kennel within the run. We’ve also been using a healing aid + skin repair on the wound. A couple days have...
