    Swollen toe on hen

    This afternoon I realized one of my hens toes was bent in a weird angle and swollen. She’s limping and laying down more often, but she’s eating normally. Does it look broken or is it just twisted? She’s about 6 years old.

    Why is my duck limping?

    Connie suddenly began limping and trying not to put any weight on her right foot.

I've read about bumblefoot so I know that fixing it requires cutting out the infection but I...

She won't step down solid on her right foot and it is her far left toe (facing her body) but the skin is not broken .... no blood in other words. How can you tell the difference between a potential break or sprain? She is...

    2X Failed Bumblefoot Surgery, What to do Next?

    Hi everyone - I've recently adopted a 2.5 year old California White Leghorn chicken that had a small, 5mm diameter bumblefoot scab on her right foot. For two weeks, I did daily epsom salt soaks and bandaged with gauze and Neosporin prior to surgery to see if the scab would go away on its own...
