    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...

    Marek's disease or injury?

    Recently one of our hens was attacked by what we assumed was an animal, and it ripped up her back (it could have been the rooster too, but I doubt it.) She was able to get up to the nesting box at first, but now she's unable to move one of her legs. She had a lot of poop caked into her feathers...

    Our almost one year old Austra White (named Lumos) was observed sitting down a lot today so after checking her out, I found a large clump of dirt/poop dried onto a wound on the bottom of her foot. I soaked her feet in a warm epsom salt bath, slowly rubbed the dirt clump off, and observed a large...

    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...
