    Sick maybe injured hen

    This hen is four years old and last weekend we were attacked by a raccoon. We found her laying on the floor away from the other hands so we brought her inside. She has a very difficult time eating and the only time she drinks is when I drop water next to her beak I usually have to open her beak...

    Less than week old chick not walking well

    Hi everyone, I purchased 9 chicks a couple days ago and all but one are thriving. She seems to be being picked on by the other birds and wasn’t moving around much under the brooder plate, she tries to walk and it looks like one leg may be injured (she catches herself with her wing and kind of...

    Injuries to hen’s neck, what to do to stop this?

    My hen (named Sophia) has plucked feathers on her neck. I have an idea that the injures are from my rooster mating. I don’t want to get rid of the rooster because I love him and he keeps the flock safe (lots of hawks in the region). Any ideas on how to help without removing the rooster? See file...

    Bloody Chicken Feet

    Does anyone know what’s going on with my girl? She didn’t come in last night (we moved her in ourselves) and was bloody this morning. It only seems to be her feet, both of them. They’re colder to the touch and don’t seem to be actively bleeding. Is it frostbite? We cleaned a bit with rubbing...

    Can chickens get constipated?

    We have a frizzled gold laced polish hen that we thought was egg bound or injured since she was walking like a penguin after finding her with her saddle all messed up and pulling her wings back at an odd angle. Her saddle was removed but she continued the penguin waddle so we brought her inside...

    Jinxed myself, actual missing duck, at least 1 injured. Any help / advice appreciated.

    Hey, so I think a hawk just attacked my birds. 1 duck is missing and I have at least 1 other with a small bill injury + I think a puncture wound or ripped feathers on her lower back. I had to carry her home, she was in shock, but she’s pretty alert now. I’ll do some research myself, but if you...

    Chicken wobbly - found hole on butt

    One of my girls nearly fell over when I gave her pets yesterday so I brought her inside to see why she was unstable on her feet. I found a big hole on her butt. I cleaned her as best as I could and have kept her inside away from my other girls so she stays warm, calm and clean while I try to...

    Hen with a stiff leg and toes, help appreciated

    Hello, two days ago I noticed that a two and a half years old Serama hen started standing on one leg after a fight with another hen. She was a bit more withdrawn a day or two before that, but I didn't notice anything else. After the fight she started standing on one leg, and reluctantly walks on...

    Help, young duck unable to walk, seems to have something very wrong with him.

    Unfortunately this is the only image I have as these are not my ducks, someone I know just knows I have ducks and wanted my input, but I haven’t seen a duck sit like this before. He’s only able to walk a couple steps before collapsing and can’t seem to stand at all from the video she sent me...
