    Please help!!!

    I posted yesterday about my little chick that seems to have an injured leg/foot. Upon reading a lot of previous threads with a lot of similar stories, I’ve isolated her and used vet tape to wrap the affected leg. She’s been in solution for 24 hours now and mostly sleeps, eats, drinks, and poops...

    Possible Injured Chick

    Hey y’all, I’m new to BYC but my family has used it forever when they first got chickens 15+ years ago. I just got some chicks Monday (5 Easter eggers and one black australorp) and one is probably a day or two younger than the rest, so she is significantly smaller than them. I noticed...

    Would like some advice for Keet injury (graphic image and description warning)

    We recently tried to intergrate our 5 week old guineas with our chickens. We observed the chickens pecking at them a bit but didn't question it because this usually happens when something new is introduced and usually stops. However when we came back 30 minutes later, I found the stairs had...

    Rooster attacked and injured hen

    I have 1 rooster (a silkie) and 7 hens. My rooster and 3 of my hens are all a little over a year old. My other hens are between 3-5 years old. I’ve been able to watch my rooster court the hens that are his age and he mostly ignores the older ones except for the occasional peck. However...

    Duck belly wound! Snapping turtle? What to do?

    My poor Blanca is getting all of the injuries here.. I’ve just sent everyone out to free range and noticed my Blanca had what I first thought was a mud stain on her belly that she was picking at. Someone else posted a snapping turtle injury recently, so it got me nervous, and I called her over...

    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...

    As the tile says, I have more bad luck. I have a mother chicken that hatched three duck eggs that she stole. Today they we're walking around the yard eating under their mother when one of the broody hens rushed off her nest and went over to starting to grab and pull one of the ducklings. The...

    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...
