    Minor cut on bill

    My pet duck, Beepers, picked a fight with a rooster today. He got pecked pretty hard. It seems kinda deep. He can eat and drink normally, and is acting normal. I just don’t want it to get infected, and I’m not sure what to do. It can probably heal by itself, but I need to protect it from infection.

    Swollen toe - not bumblefoot - what to do?

    My 1 year old Wyandot has a very bulbous, swollen toe. The scales have fallen off and the skin is pink, and fairly firm. Soaking and cleaning revealed no black scab, so bumblefoot is out. There was a small lesion near the nail, although I don’t know if that came after the injury or before...

    Chicken constantly itching all over, lethargic, loss of appetite, extended neck & gaping for air? URI? Please help!

    Hi! These last 2 weeks, my hen has been losing feathers and itching all over, specifically her neck, and has been eating/drinking less and less.

    Oral Antibiotics for Injuries?

    One of our favorite hens went missing for a few days and just wandered back up with a pretty severe injury under wing that already smells pretty rotten. We sprayed the wound down good with vetericyn but I’m wondering if there’s an oral antibiotic at feed stores that may be helpful?

    Chicken recovery from sedation/anaesthetic ?

    I posted yesterday about my very poorly ex battery hen Edith. She was worse today so I took her to the emergency vet as it’s a bank holiday. They said they would x ray and scan her to check for tumours, stuck eggs or any blockage. All was clear and they have said she has a severe infection...

    Need Advisement on Joint Infection

    Our Pekin, Ducky, seems to have an infected joint in his right leg. His legs have been deformed since he was a duckling and he has always lived a pretty sedentary lifestyle.

    To cut or not to cut. That is the question…

    We’ve had to do bumble foot surgery on chickens before, however, usually they have the telltale Black scab on the bottom of their foot so we’re able to soak the foot to pull the scab off and squeeze it out. This one’s a little bit more tricky because there is no black scab. Any advice on whether...

    Swollen chicken leg

    Hi I have a 6 month old black copper maran who about a month ago started limping with a swollen leg overnight. I checked and there does not appear to be any bumble foot issues going on so I assumed she had strained/ broken it at first and splinted her leg. It then seemed to get a bit worse and...
