    Not sure what’s wrong with 2 day old chick

    At first I thought it was a slipped tendon on the right side but I am unable to feel if the tendon is out of place. The left leg is pushing behind and rotated but I’m not sure if that’s to try to balance out the other leg? I’ve been trying different things for the chick to sit in but it keeps...

    Hen with a broken leg

    I recently had to euthanize a hen with a severely broken leg. I didn’t realize how difficult it would be or how attached I was to her. She was my child’s favorite chicken which is probably why she meant so much. I didn’t realize it was broken, aside from a substantial limp I thought would...

    Day-old Chick with Injured (Broken?) Ankle

    Chick hatched this morning under a broody hen. We found it out from under her and as we went to pick it up to look the hen pecked at it aggressively again. At first all we saw was a small wound in its back so we brought it into the brooder and treated that. Then we noticed bruising on the left...

    Rooster with broken leg

    I picked up a rooster with a pretty bad looking broken leg but I’m not sure how to tell if he can live with it or if he will need care. He moves and can move pretty quickly so I’m not sure if this is an old break that healed this way or if it is fixable.

    3 mo old chicken w/ broken leg

    On Monday one of our 3 mo. old chicks took a fall out of the coop about 1.5 - 2 ft, and broke her leg. That same day, having not known exactly what happened yet, I brought her inside for quarantine. Her left leg was very swollen and totally limp. I knew something was wrong but it wasn’t until...

    Silkie Hen Feathers Strangulated Chick Leg - Unsure How to Proceed

    We have two silkie hens who are currently co-raising two chicks together (also silkies). Yesterday I heard a chick screaming and ran in to find one hen walking around with a baby stuck to her, flopping the chick around as she moved. I grabbed him, ripped him off the Mom, and raced him inside to...

    Turkey with broken leg

    I have a turkey with a leg that has been broken on the Metatarsus. The skin is roughed up and I have placed a gauze pad with antibiotic salve over it and placed a splint on the leg. I have it in a rabbit cage on it's own so it can heal. What should I do?

    Young pullet with broken fibula

    We found our sweet little buff Orpington in the coop just laying down. She’s not a layer yet, but more than a few months old. Upon investigation her leg was just dangling. She doesn’t move it, it’s totally limp. She’s also pretty calm about it which is odd. I felt around the leg and it feels...

    Hen with severe leg injury

    One of our two roosters jumped on our smallest hen and did something to her leg. I imagine her leg is out of the socket or something. It's literally resting on the ground behind her. I cant feel anything obviously wrong with it but I'm no professional. She also has poop butt pretty bad come...

    Buff Orpington Broken Leg

    My one-year-old buff orpington broke her leg just above the hock joint. She got it caught in some fencing in our yard (we believe). It was very sad, but we decided to try and save her versus the alternative. Both were difficult decisions if I'm being honest. Luckily we have an avian vet within...

    Broken Thigh Baby Chick

    One of the chicks fell and broke her leg. It's broken up in the fluffy part, chicken anatomy diagrams say it's her thigh. It's dangling and flopping, she keeps twisting it at the break so I'm holding her. She can't seem to move that leg. No swelling that I can see, and no blood. I'm not sure...

    quail healing time?

    hi everyone I was just after a bit of information that possibly someone on here may know. My little miss quail has injured her leg. She will not put weight on it at all and awkwardly hops on one leg to move (even though her food and water is right in front of her in her hospital box) 😒 Although...

    Pekin duck injured leg????!!!!

    Hi all. So this pekin isn't mine, but stays in the stall with my fostered orphan goose. They've been together since my goose was still a gosling because she had a bad staff infection and had to be separated from her flock back in I believe April or the very beginning of the summer. They get...

    HELP 18 month old Polish Rooster not walking

    Yesterday I woke up and saw my polish rooster acting weird. He was standing up with his tail pointing down towards the ground. At first I thought he was just cold because this is the coldest it has been this year (55F low) and thought he would probably warm up and be okay. Today when I woke up...

This pullet came with a broken leg which i couldn’t return because i picked her out myself. She looked lively and normal at the breeders but the second day at...
