    Bald spot and gash on my hen.

    On my hens back at the very back of where her bottom flight feathers rest on her back there is a bald spot and what appears to be some sort of gash/cut. Its not fresh and seems to have scabbed but still looks recent. Any ideas of what this could be whether she somehow cut herself on something or...

    Hi everyone! So, last year I had done Brownie's bumblefoot procedure for the first time. During the process no corn kernal had come out. I did the process again 2 days ago after lots and lots of warm water soaks for many days and removed his scab. A bit of infection like thing came out but...

    Hen not putting weight on legs.

    I have a 2-month-old white leghorn hen who is not putting any weight on her legs. It started about a week ago, when I noticed she was not putting weight on one leg. I brought her inside to watch her. I ruled out bumble foot since I see no evidence. My next thought was a possible injury, and I...

    Beak problem!

    Hello! I have a 18 week silver laced wyandotte and I came to check on them and her beak was all bloodied! It looks like the top layer of the front beak had chipped off. It seems like she’s in pain and eats very carefully. Is there anything I can do to help her? Will it grow back?

    Help: what to do when bumblefoot removal doesn't go as planned?

    We've never had a case of bumblefoot before one of our girls came down with it recently. We read countless blog posts, watched YT videos, and posted here on BYC asking for help, then decided to try to treat it without surgery and avoid causing potentially unnecessary pain. Non-surgery didn't...

    Foot injury: break, sprain or something else?

    Noticed one of my girls has toe that wont curls and is pointed in an odd direction. Picked her up and had a feel around the joint, it's solid and there doesn't seem to be any swelling. The toe won't curl after the affected joint and it seems like the other toes on the effected foot curl slightly...

    Injured Hen

    Friday, I found my young hen with her head stuck in the fence on the outside. She had a huge cut on her side, maybe three inches of skin missing and muscle with a large cut in it. Her head was swollen, too. For the first few hours she slept and didn’t raise her head. I washed out her cut with...

    Coop break in, missing bird, torn wing

    I moved my 7-8 week old pullets outside about a week ago, and woke up this morning to a sad scene. The wire (1” x 2”) in one corner was pulled free of the staples and looked as if it had been pushed back from the inside. There was a gap roughly big enough for a basketball to be pushed through. I...

    My juvenile khaki campbell fell while running away from me and now she can't stand up correctly

    This happened a few minutes ago, after letting them swim for a while it seemed too cold so I tried taking them back to the crate where I keep them. She suddenly started running and tripped, thankfully the floor didn't touch the neck but she fell on one of her paws. There's no blood, twists or...

    Hi y’all, I’m new to raising my own chickens without my fathers help. Yesterday one of my hens (she’s about a year old) was attacked by my puppy who is 11 weeks old. He’s a playful little fella so I don’t think he meant to almost kill her. Anyways she’s really hurt, the skin on the back of her...

    Hello, I have four female ducks, two khaki campbells and two cherry valleys. A few months ago one of the cherry, Pebble was limping so I took her to the vet.
