Hello I am hoping for some help, I have 5 silkies all 11 weeks that my broody silkie hatched they stay in a flock together and seem to get along well the only male that hatched from this group that I am aware of is a Satin. I came out to find Eggs and her sister fighting she had her by the head...
Hi everyone
I found a wound on one of my girls toes at the beginning of April. I'm not sure what happened but I cleaned it, applied polysporin and bandaged it. Over the course of a week I was able to remove a scab and then it started to get progressively worse. It developed a small blood...
Help! My chick has been hurt my older chickens and I don’t know what to do. The skin on the back of her head has been removed. — - She’s about 3 weeks old
- Her breathing is a bit off
- She’s not eating or drinking water
My quail has been limping for a bit now. I've looked at his leg a couple times and couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. I figured he may have pulled it or something. But today I checked it again to see if he pushed back against my hand at all (which he did some) and saw this bump on the...
Today when i went to feed the chickens and let them out of the coop i noticed this one roosters' face/wattles being pretty swollen and also noticed that he was acting pretty unusual. He was walking a bit weird, raising his legs more than usual almost looking like he was marching and he has lost...
My quail had a bit of an overgrown beak. As i was going to trim it, I realized there was a Crack in the beak ( im not sure if I caused this by trying to cut the tip or if it just revealed it ). Any tips on what I should do? Should I tear it off or should I just leave it? There was a bit of...
This is quite urgent; a friend of mine had a duck eye pecked out by a chicken. It seems broken, the eye, but I can't tell; the eye is have 'glued' shut from an unknown substance. From what I can see, it's like a void. It's leaking a bubbly, clear fluid too; not excessive, just kinda coming out...
Hi everyone! So I noticed that my favorite hen (Muffin) had a patch of her fluff showing, so I went to see what was up and found her back almost completely feather-less. It almost looked like a broody hens belly, but on her back. She also had scabs and super super dry looking skin on her back in...
I need some help/advice. I went out to change water this afternoon and found my 3 month old Cuckoo Maran in some bushes. When I picked her up, I noticed dry blood and she was having trouble walking.
After looking her over, it looks like something tried to get her. She has some puncture wounds...
Hello everyone, it would mean very much if you saw this thread and helped me out on this. My EE hen has a sprained leg and she is getting pecked a lot by the other hens in the flock when she just started to have her sprained leg. She is the lowest on the pecking order compared to my other 2...
I recently saw my sister's chicken, Beb, limping around. I picked her up and checked her foot to see some sort of 'scab'. It might be bumblefoot, but since I'm a new chicken owner, this is my first case of whatever this is. Based on basic images, I can't decide whether it is or not, and what to...
I was checking on my quails and one appeared to not move. This was not normal as the quails are very scared of me so they’ll usually be running around, like dodging my hand but now this quail was just laying down, so I just went over and tried to pick her up and she didn’t respond at all. she...
Hello I have a Orpington pullet hen. About 2 days ago with something white on her eye which we just wiped off. Today I saw that her right eye is swollen shut and her left eye is almost shut. Anything helps thank you.
I have a 4 month old silkie who can’t seem to walk. It sits on it’s but as pictured. I don’t believe it is mareks as the legs are not paralyzed. It has a good appetite that i have supplemented with poultry booster. It sits upright and alert, and when scared it used its wings to help it hobble...
Hello all,
I had to heavily assist this Coturnix Quail chick in hatching, and now I see why. Her poor little leg is jutting out at an unnatural angle, and I suspect it’s dislocated.
I do have access to veterinarians, as I work with them, however none of them deal with poultry. So I feel like...
Hello,
The back of my white silkie hens head was pecked and now it has an injury on her head. One day I walked out to my silkie coop to let them out and after I opened the door is noticed that my white silkie hen was sitting down in the corner of the coop. I looked at her closer and I noticed...
Hello! On every of my chickens, Rosa, has a very bad limp. When we looked at her foot, there didn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary. There was no swelling, visible cuts or puncture wounds, and nothing seemed obviously broken. She didn’t react when we gently squeezed her leg and foot. She...
Hello all! My duck has a very bad wound in her back that we think is infected. It was covered in maggots, but we managed to remove most of them. The skin almost looks as though it is rotting. We sprayed some hydrogen peroxide and applied a bit of medicine that kills maggots. If anyone knows what...
This is a very long story, but I’m desperate, so I hope you’ll take the time to read it. We originally had three ducks, Pato, Hercules, and Destiny. We thought they were all females, but turns out; two males and one female. We heard this can be dangerous to the female (having more males than...
I have a Brahma pullet, about 4 months old, but almost full size. Yesterday I noticed she really didn't want to put weight on her left leg. I've checked her over but can find no injury or major cause? From what I can tell, I think it may be her lower leg or foot that's hurting her, as she...
