Hello there BYC community,
It seems like a green dot has shown on one of my chicken’s foot. It’s only on one and the hen has been acting normal otherwise. I didn’t see any limping. Should this be a concern? I suspect it might be a bruise, but no idea of what caused it.
My Perkin duck is 5 weeks old, is in the process of feathering. There is this weird 2 inch purple spot on it’s right side behind the wing. What is wrong and what do I do?
Hi
My hen has been limping for a couple of weeks. I checked it out when she first started but did not see or feel anything unusual
I checked her again today and can see that the bottom of her foot is puffy and lower leg is bruised
She seems to be eating and laying fine but obviously having...
My chickens have been not so good lately I'm going to try to take them to a vet soon. At first, my chickens for a while now only had little pieces of their feathers missing all over the bodies. But just around 4 days ago they suddenly got bald spots and every time I go in their its worse. I see...
Hi Everyone
I have 6 hens and one rooster and have had them for almost a year. They all behave very friendly.
This past Sunday morning we discovered one of our chickens had a brutal wound to the back of the head. The picture doesn’t do full justice, but there is a large gash of a hole that...
Hey y'all! Had a real bad egg bind today, she was too far gone by the time I got to her and hadn't been acting peculiar the previous day. I ended up having to cull her after working with her all day. When I plucked her she had bruising between her legs underneath her vent. When I cleaned her it...
My favorite muscovy duck was killed by a raccoon close to my front yard. I was thinking about it, wondering why she was always hanging out by the front of my house and not by the water. I thought maybe she had a nest. Sure enough, I took a look around and found her nest.
I recovered 8 eggs in...
My hen has a sore on her wing and it’s turning green? She’s also losing feathers on that wing only. I’m a new chicken rescuer so I’m not sure what’s wrong with it. Any advice would help. I’ve attached pics of the good wing and the bad one.
Hey everyone! I noticed that my chick seemed to be huddled in a corner and I saw that she was being pecked by other chickens. Her feathers looked fluffed up, as if she was trying to keep warm. I took her inside for a few hours to both feed and keep her warm.
Upon further inspection, I saw that...
Hello fellow chicken peeps! I'm new here, and I need some help. Sorry in advance for this being so long.
I have been raising chickens for over 2 years now, and I have a dilemma. One of my black austrolorp hens started acting weird about 4 or 5 months ago. She started mounting other hens...
