    HELP!! Chicken is paralyzed

    I found my chicken yesterday away from her flock mates with curled up toes and paralyzed legs. I initially thought she was egg bound because she hasn’t laid her egg and i put her in warm water then dried her off. This morning I tried feeling for an egg but I didn’t know how to do it. I started...

    Injured chicken after a fox attack

    Hey everyone, last week there was a fox in our coop, and it killed 19 chickens (my parents think that the fox probably got stuck in the coop, couldn't find the way out, and because of that it killed that many chickens). A few of them got injured, and we had to euthanize them, there is one...

    Missing chicken toes

    So recently me and my mom have found that something has been eating our silkies toes, most of our rooster silkies are missing 1-2 toes and we can’t figure out why? They don’t seem to be in pain or struggling to walk but its very concerning to see. How can we prevent this?

    I need help with my chicken’s leg

    She has this awkward backward twisted leg, it gets caught and it’s so awkward for her.. I was honestly thinking I could amputate it myself. I’m 15 and if it matters, I have a high IQ, I’m level 1 gifted, and I’m very much capable of completing it. But I won’t get ahead of myself, it’s a big...

    Is this wry neck?

    I have a chicken who was attacked by a raccoon which we suspect got her right eye because she won’t open it and there was blood on the right side of her face and neck but there where no more visible injuries and on day three of her recovery we noticed something wrong about her neck. My mom said...

    Huge Bumblefoot… on the struggle bus!

    Hey y’all! I have one VERY strong willed gal, Olive, that has gotten a huge bumble on her foot. She doesn’t like to be held unless it’s on her terms (🙄🤦🏼‍♀️), so trying to get this thing out is a whole mess. I have tried wrapping her up in a towel like a baby burrito and she looses her mind and...

    White Cloudy Eye Infection

    We noticed our chicken had a swollen eye she was keeping shut almost a week ago. She has been on a topical antibiotic from the feed store ever since, and the swelling has come down and she seems to be in less discomfort from it. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this before and has some...

    Injured Leg, Unable To Walk Properly

    One of our hyline brown hens has had their leg injured. I can’t see anything external but she is definitely in pain and is limping, and will usually lie down instead of standing. We don’t want to take her to the vet because of the cost, but is there any way to help her leg at home?
