wing injury

Found an injured young bird that looks like an adolescent seagull - I don’t think the whole wing is broken, it looks like 3 feathers specifically have been injured 😢 we managed to capture it and we’ve taped the feathers with vet wrap just to keep them in a good place. What can we do? It settled...

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...

My duck was attacked by a raccoon three weeks ago. His brother sadly had to be put down yesterday because his leg issues were too severe to fix. However, my ducks legs look a lot better, not saying that means much, than his brother. After having to put his brother down, as they are both my first...

Hi, so I’ve been handling a Black Swedish for 8 years, who’s suddenly suffering some kind of wing injury and is coughing a LOT. He never had angel wing, but struggles to keep his wings in his down, which I recognize is a stress issue. I understand he is old, and in fact recently lost his...

It's been a few years since I posted on BYC so bear with me if I should be posting this in the quail category rather than this one. I got a flock of 8 Coturnix quail from a fella 10 days ago. They've been in quarantine away from our chickens since they got to our home, and in a secure, unlit...

I went to bring the chickens in from their run for the night. I went to pick up one of my roosters, but he bit me. Then I noticed his wing is not right! I don’t think broken, but dislocated. Anyone have experience with this?! What should we do?!

My year old female Pekin has begun acting different. She seems lethargic and not as active, but is eating and drinking well. She is sort if isolating herself from the other 4 ducks, like will just be laying off on her own. When she flaps her wings to stretch, her right wing doesn’t extend...

This morning I noticed my hen’s week-old chick was being dragged around by her wing. I think somehow while they were sleeping, mom and chick got stuck together by something (poop maybe). The underside of the chick’s wing was stuck to the feathers on the hen’s chest and I had to carefully cut the...

One of my baby chicks was severely pecked by the rest of the chicks and while I thought it was bone at first and was going to put it down, some are telling me it’s just a blood feather, so I don’t want to put it down if it has a fighting chance. It’s eating and drinking and running around and...

My daughter's EE hen's wing was droopy about a week ago. Upon further examination we found a nasty infected lump under her wing. We also found mites while checking her over. We tried to find the site of any injury and found none. We treated her for mites with Ivermectin and gave her three doses...

I have 6 ducklings (assorted breeds purchased from TSC) that are approximately a month old. The duckling with the bleeding wing (? bleeding from pin feathers?) is a Pekin. They stay indoors but regularly go outside to swim in their tiny pool. Today, I noticed dried blood on the edge of both...

The entire wing is gone. Most of its feathers are gone. This all happened around, I'd say, an hour ago. Maybe less than that. 10:20 AM or so, I believe. It's currently in shock right now. Opens its eyes a little bit but doesn't seem to register anything. Keep shivering and twitching. (By the...

Hey everyone! So, today I was giving Tooki (my hen) a bath and noticed a blueish growth on the skin near her left wing. Could anyone tell me what this is? She generally flaps her wings very firmly and strongly. Please do let me know if you have any idea about this. I am attaching a picture.

Hi everyone, We have a American Buff gander who got beat up by our Toulouse-Sebastapol gander. We found our Buff two mornings ago on the other side of their night-time partition with the ducks and our Toulouse-African goose and the Toulouse-Sebastapol gander. He was in the corner, looking like...

I'm brand new to owning chickens i just got 6 hens a few days ago and one snuck out of her area 2 nights ago. She got into the other half of my yard where my dog was out. he got her in his mouth and i instantly told him to drop her. he listen and she ran off. She ran away at a good speed and it...

Hi there! I’m new to here and new to “chicken tending”. I have a chicken who keeps escaping somehow (and I am currently working on that). Her name is Tiny and she’s sweet but doesn’t like to be touched. I was trying to pick her up to put her back in their area (they have a huge area to run...

1) What type of bird , age and weight Female Muscovy duck, 5 weeks old, 2lbs 2) What is the behavior, exactly. She's acting normally, rests more often but is foraging when I let her stretch her legs. Eating and drinking, socializing with her siblings 3) How long has the bird been exhibiting...

Hello all, newbie chicken keeper here. We have an eight week old Rhode Island Red who I've noticed keeps dropping her wing from her sides when she's standing or laying down, just the one wing on the left side. She's inside right now in the brooder (the coop outside is nearly finished, we've had...

Hello All- A few weeks ago my Barred Rock hen was attacked by a Bobcat. She had no puncture wounds but we could tell something was wrong with her wing. There was no sign of a break anywhere, but she was pretty sick for a while. We "nursed" her back to health with antibiotics and a lot of TLC &...

Please could somebody give some advice. Yesterday I went out to check on my hens and one of them had her wing drooping down. The other side is fine. It has no movement at all, when she was flapping to get away from me when I tried to catch her it didn’t move. It’s drooping low and she trips on...
