    Splint for young pullet attacked by hawk - broken toes/foot

    My Barnevelder pullet was in rough shape yesterday after an awful hawk attack. Of my 3 pullets, 1 was taken/killed, 1 (this one) severely injured, and the other unharmed. I believe the hawk attempted to get the Barnevelder first and maybe she dropped from high in the air, causing the leg to...

    Pecked, or Pox?

    This is Kowalski, my six month old Black Copper Marans chicken nemesis. Another chicken can lay an egg next to her and she'll ignore it, but if she sees me reaching for it, she'll fight me for it and break it, if she can get to it first. She also has developed a taste for my fingers. She is a...

    Rooster missing both spurs, health declining slowly

    My rooster, a 3 year old araucana lost both of his spurs during the summer, took a month for the other spur to fall off. The first was an accident, he flew down from the coop but hit the chicken wire instead. I don’t know how he lost the second one, I randomly found it on the ground one day...

    Why is her leg like this???

    Any idea what could be wrong with her left leg? She has had a limp that has gotten worse over a week and keeps it close to her chest sometimes. No bumblefoot. No swelling or obvious breaks, and her leg feels normal but I noticed that the leg she’s limping on is jutted out at a weird angle. Her...

    Not sure what’s wrong with 2 day old chick

    At first I thought it was a slipped tendon on the right side but I am unable to feel if the tendon is out of place. The left leg is pushing behind and rotated but I’m not sure if that’s to try to balance out the other leg? I’ve been trying different things for the chick to sit in but it keeps...
