I have a flogging silkie rooster. We had him outside yesterday while I added chicken wire to the peep pen since they have been escaping (Found them all). I think he cut his legs walking over the chicken wire since I have seen him walk over it and he was bleeding badly. I applied a spray designed...
My brother had accidentally closed our heavy wood door on my peachick's leg, and I found her bleeding.
She doesn't seem to want to put any pressure on it, and I'm unsure if the leg is broken, her toes may also be broken. She was bleeding from her knee, and is sleeping in my lap right now.
I'm...
First, I have had chickens for about 5 years and this is the first year I've had problems getting the older ones used to the new, little ones (12 weeks old). I have been noticing they were picking on one in particular. It is one of the littlest. Yesterday, I found her trapped by the older...
Hi. I'm new here. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's happening to my hens. First, I had to many roosters (8 hens & 6 roosters). I had one hen about a month ago that had lots of blood coming from the back of her back. Around the area where the tail feathers stick up but like just...
My chicks are about 3 weeks old and I've had them for two weeks. I just noticed today that most of them have what appears to be peck marks on their backs! Feathers are missing, and some are even bleeding! What is going on and why??
- It's the same spot on all of them.
- Some have it worse than...
Hey Everyone!
Last night as the girls were getting onto the roosts for bedtime something strange happened. I'm still trying to put pieces together and was wondering if anyone could shed light on the situation.
When we came to check on them I was shocked to find fresh blood on the roosting...
Does anyone know what would cause bleeding Toes? This is the second time I found one of my hens with blood on her toe. I found blood on a shelf like thing that the chickens like and on the ground. I will post pictures is it can figure it out.
I'm worried that it might turn into a big...
Recently my quail has been losing a lot of feathers my other quail only pulled out a few feathers but he helped me find that underneath were he pulled away there was dry blood I do not think it was him that did the blood part but she also already did her full molt and she's losing feathers...

Hi all,
I'm new to the site and to chicken keeping - I adopted 4 ex battery hens in September 2017.
One of my chickens seems to have become very ill over the past 24 hours (she's called Blossom). She appeared fine when I left for work yesterday morning and was out free ranging in the garden...
My five year old ameracauna is struggling with her molt. Her neck is bald with dry scaly patches and no pin feathers coming in. This morning she developed bloody patches on both of her shoulders. She is hiding from the other chickens ( I have now separated them). She is eating and drinking...
A couple of days ago, I discovered the rear end of our Sussex covered in blood and one of the others pecking at it. I was expecting to see a prolapse as it has happened before (pushed back in and treated with hemorrhoid cream, but not recently), possibly since she lays such big eggs, but no. It...
Hi, So I have a miniature donkey that is supposed to foal sometime this week. I went to check up on her and there is a little bit of blood dribbling out. I don't know if this is normal because I missed the birth of my other mini. Is she and the foal okay? Or Is it just because she's going to...
So yesterday I found a mom chicken walking around with 3 healthy looking babies, I ended up finding her nest and 3 other healthy babies as well. After further inspection though I found 2 baby chicks that look like they had been squished under some eggs that didn't hatch. I put the mom and all...
Today I found my 16 week chickens bleeding from their comb. One is pretty bad. I am having trouble identifying where the other one is bleeding from. I do not know what to do, this is my first flock of chickens. I have them separated and I attempted to wash their combs with warm water and a rag...
Hi all, we found our beautiful cream leg bar hybrid bleeding from her vent.
It looks as though it's badly torn at the top. Our chicken breeder thinks she's bleeding internally due to maybe a broken egg and the shell having cut her, but I think it looks as though the top part of her vent is...
While clipping my little ducks toenails, we accidently cut one a little too short and she started to bleed. We read on here that flour is one of the things that can stop bleeding so we've put that on and she hasn't bled anymore. What can I do to make sure it doesn't get infected. We're changing...
