    Bad wound on chicken butt

    Please help!! My 1y/o buff Orpington hen has a really bad wound on her butt. I’m not sure what happened. Her bum has been dirty for a bit and i haven’t been able to clean it because it’s been cold (plus I’m at the end of my pregnancy so everything is harder right now). But last night i noticed...

    Bumble foot?

    Hi all. This is a lady from my very first flock. She’s 8 weeks old. They’ve been in their outdoor run/coop for a week or so. They stay in the run (w/ access to coop during the day) + get to free range when I’m home. Yesterday I let them out of the run and she was fine as far as I know. They...

    Hen passing on, need help

    To give context, this morning all the hens and roosters were perfectly fine (as far as I could tell) and I hadn't noticed anything up until today either (I check them over daily). However, I went out this afternoon to find one of my broody hens laying on the floor of the coop. I didn't think to...

    Potentially crippled drake?

    This is a bit of a ride, and not one I am entirely proud of. Background is that my mom has birds to control ticks and pests, and part of my rent is feeding them and cleaning the coop and that’s it. The flock is incredibly hardy and this is the first time we’ve had any sort of major...

    Chicken injury- no mites

    Hello everyone! Me and my husband have owned chickens for two years now with no injuries or illnesses until today. I found my RIR hen missing feathers and plucked pretty severally/ bleeding from being plucked. We have no idea what the initial injury could have been as no predators were in the...

    California White Bullied and Now Injured

    Hello. We recently started this new adventure of raising chickens. We came home with 4 Wyandottes, 2 Amberlinks, and 1 California White. All was fine for a few hours but suddenly the California White was bleeding and being attacked. We’ve cleaned the wound, add antibiotic and isolated her...

    Pullet limping

    Left flock of 3 alone for 2 days and 1 night in the coop, when we got back one of our pullets was limping. She holds her foot wide open and when you pinch the … heel? She will peck you. Otherwise I see no evidence of scabs or mites. She gets around slow but okay, is eating and drinking and...

    Severe bobcat injury- any chance for survival?

    A bobcat jumped my electric fence just as I was arriving home. Scared it off but it left one hen with a serious injury. I was able to grab her right away and clean the wound and stop the bleeding, but it took a huge chunk of skin off the side of her neck. Any chance she is going to make it...

    Injured Duck Wing

    My Khaki Campbell has a seemingly injured left wing. She keeps it mostly tucked in and cannot flap it. Right now an avian physician is not an option. I've just let it be for around a week to see if it's just a sprain and will heal on it's own, but I've had little improvement. I think I should...

    Polish pullet, 13 weeks, minor beak injury, Reccomendations?

    Just curious if others have seen similar with metal feed bowls? Is this just a chip that will heal over? Have changed to plastic bowl now. She seems un-bothered if I touch it or clean it, it appears to have formed a scab over the top.

    Injured foot

    Hey there! I just hatched from an incubator, and 7/8 out of 12 made it! I have one runt, and he has an injured foot. It looks like one of the toes is cut pretty badly and the other chicks have been bullying him as well. He’s 1 day old, and I wasn’t sure what to do, so I rinsed the foot off in...

    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...

    Pure blood from chicken? And blood in poop?

    I’m asking for my mother in law that has a chicken she saved from a coop fire a few weeks ago. This hen is a silver laced bantam polish. She sent me these pictures and I am not sure what to tell her. I initially thought coccidia, but with the huge blood clot, I’m unsure since any of my chickens...

    How cold can I introduce a chicken too?

    So I have a small flock and one of my girls got pecked bad today so I've had to bring her in the house where she will stay in a oversized dog crate on in my kitchen and be absolutely spoiled until she's in better health. Here's the problem, it's winter. Once she's healed up she has to go back...

    Bump on pullet beak.

    I have a pullet that hatched in September. I’ve never had this. I just was wondering if anyone knows what this is or how to deal with it. It could just be her anatomy, but I’ve never had a hen with this. My concern is that she was injured through the fence when either an owl or raccoon came...

    Healing and open peck wound/Healing Log

    Today we left to pick up our dog from surgery, and when we returned a chicken had somehow climbed her way into our turkey run. Our turkeys attacked her, and she has a severe open wound on her neck. It is the back of her neck, almost two inches, and deep enough to see the tissue and some muscle...

    Hard lump in Pullet’s neck! Impacted Crop? Please help.

    This is our Phoebe, a 12-week-old Buff Orpington pullet. Recently, our coop got attacked by an owl and we lost one. Ever since then, Phoebe’s been acting strange (lethargic, quiet, weirdly dilated eyes). We chalked it up to her being traumatized, as we recently learned chickens can get mental...

    Bumblefoot?

    I have already posted here before and gotten amazing help, but wanted to know if this is the early stages of bumblefoot, or a fracture mabye. Just for some context she was spooked and maybe attacked by a small cat. I only saw her running away while the cat just stands 5 meters away and after...
