    Chicken sprained leg?

    It’s been a week since I’ve found one of my chickens unable to put weight on one of her legs. When I did so I immediately brought her in. Since then she had some swelling in the leg and her foot that has all gone away except in her hock joint. I am assuming it is a sprain but would love some...

    Abdominal swellings in 1.5 year old hen

    I have a 1.5ish year old RIR hen that has developed swellings. I was wondering about as it’s, but she’s so young. Also, it almost seems that there are two swellings with one of them being the smaller, redder area. She seems normal otherwise. Red combs, normal stance. She hasn’t been laying...

    bumble foot that isn't getting better

    I took my older (about 4-4.5 years) hen to the vet for bumble foot a couple months ago. She had swelling in both feet but only had a scab on one (that I removed), they did some wound debridement, dressed the foot and gave me an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory. I gave her the medications for...

    Cayuga limping, not bumble foot

    I have a 20 week Cayuga that has been limping for about a month now, it is definitely not bumblefoot or an infection. I've tried giving her additional niacin and aspirin to no effect, I've also attempted various means of splinting and wrapping the leg in case her ankle is injured. Those methods...
