    Chicken Limping: Hurt Leg or Foot?

    Hi All, We have two chickens, one barred rock and one RIR, that are limping around as such. We have a wide open field but it just seems odd to me that two of our 200 just started doing it at the same time. It looks to me like it is more like her foot is injured rather than her leg. Any thoughts...

    Chick with swollen foot.

    I have a 3 week old silkie with a swollen foot. I've cleaned the foot and soakef it in warm water with epsom salt. I thought maybe it's Bumblefoot, but I don't know for sure since there's no sore that I can see. It is the only chick with this problem. I've separated it to give it time to...

    Baby Chick can't walk or stand up

    Hey y'all! I have had a few chicken eggs hatch about two days ago and one of them is unable to stand up or walk since the moment it was born. It took him way too long to get out of the egg and when he was left with just a tiny piece of the eggshell I removed it carefully. Could that be the cause...

    Broken ankle? Something else?

    We came out to find one of our hens limping yesterday morning. I flipped her on her back to try and see if I could find any noticeable problems. There is no swelling no discernible difference between the other leg and nothing on the bottom of her foot. The ankle does seem to have an inward...

    Swollen duck foot

    My ducks right foot/toes seem swollen, I'm not really sure what from or why, but she is limping pretty badly. Maybe a snake bit her foot, she might've gotten a splinter, sore from water, bumblefoot; I really don't know. Also the hurt foot doesn't seem to open all the way on the left of the...

    Quail with swollen toe and small cut

    I have a chinese painted quail I noticed had a slight limp, even with that she was a pain to catch for a check up so it wasn't causing her mobility problems. When I finally caught her, I noticed she had a cut on her toe and it was swollen and slightly discoloured, as if infected. I gave it a...

    My rooster has a black, broken claw and swollen toe.

    So I've had Chester for a little less than five years, and this winter, he ran off to join the neighbor's flock. We thought a coon got him (one of our pullets was taken by a coon a week earlier) so we didn't look too hard. Apparently, the neighbors took about as much care as you'd expect of an...

    Chicken with weak/paralyzed leg

    I have a Japanese bantam hen, around 6 months old. Koko suddenly started limping on one leg about a week ago. She was totally fine one day, then apparently paralyzed in her left leg the next. She's not walking on the leg at all and the foot is curled under. I'm not totally sure it's paralyzed...

    How to make sure my duck's toe doesn't get infected?

    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...

    Duck swelling in foot, normal for injury?

    I have a 4 month old Pekin that must have gotten cut on some barbed wire, yesterday. She has a good size gash on her upper leg, where it meets her body. My main concern is that her foot started swelling with blood. Is this normal for a leg injury? I've treated the area and she is in a kennel but...
