leg injury

About 2 days ago one of my ganders sprained a leg getting out of the kiddie pool. I saw him fall, but he seemed to be okay other than that he was limping ( he walked on the injured leg though limped). I decided to wait and see how he was the next morning and he still walked on the injured leg...

Hello, I woke up today and noticed my quails leg was sticking out from behind her. She is unable to walk on it but she is eating just fine and sleeping well. In unsure of what this ibjury is, can anyone help identify it? Thank you.

Hi, My chicken has had difficulty walking the past few weeks. And I joined this site as a last attempt to get help. At first my hen would put her weight on the knee of her bad leg, but now she just hops as in the picture. She was taken to the vet ved they said it was a sprained leg but it been...

I have a 10 week old Rhode Island Red that was injured coming out of the coop one morning. (When she was about 4 weeks old, she started limping around like her leg was hurt. I kept her separate and in a smaller space for 1 week. She seemed OK after 3-4 days, but I wanted to make sure before...

Prada, my 3 month old CCL, is struggling to walk, and I'm not quite sure if it's a slipped tendon, sprain or something else... X-posted this to the FB forum last night with not much response, hoping to have better luck here... She was on chick starter when I got her in April until I moved them...

My brother had accidentally closed our heavy wood door on my peachick's leg, and I found her bleeding. She doesn't seem to want to put any pressure on it, and I'm unsure if the leg is broken, her toes may also be broken. She was bleeding from her knee, and is sleeping in my lap right now. I'm...

I recently adopted a chick that had trouble standing on its right leg, and formed a nodule on its ankle from walking on the wire mesh inside the brooder. She can't move her ankle straight, and usually hangs at a 90 degree angle, but can be bent upward a little. She has difficulty walking...

so my hen Lucy got caught in a fence upside down by her leg for several hours(we were out of town and found her like that upon return). She was really out of it, so we but her up by herself. She had clawed her own wing, and had an indent on her leg where she was hanging from. Fast forward 2 days...

Hello Everyone I welcome any advice and info on my latest chicken saga! I have a 8/9week old rare breed Death Layer Roo that I invested in with a pullet to breed. Very happy with the GreenFire line as it was imported and from a reputable breeder. Over what seems one evening I noticed a roost...

Hi! New chick mom here, hoping for some suggestions and guidance! As a preface, I did my best to research these topics before posting, in an effort not to waste anyone's time or duplicate something already addressed, but I apologize if I fail at that! Here's my problem: I have a week old buff...

Our neighbors/relatives are leaving for the week and left us in charge of their chickens. We were told that a fox had attacked recently and had killed their rooster and injured one of their hens. We have decided to bring the injured hen ( a barred rock) into our barn to keep a closer eye on her...

Well this morning has been crazy in chicken terms:th I woke up to a presumed case of scaly leg mites with the big girls, and an issue with one of my new chicks. She’s three days old, and she’s limping pretty heavily. She’s still getting around, but she definitely can’t put weight on it. When she...

I asked about this in my local thread and got great responses but after looking at treatments and having time to examine the chick more, I think it may be something else. I just picked up these chicks today (my first ever chicks) from the post office. One of the four Brahmas I picked up has an...

A couple of days ago , my quail had tried to fly but she injured her legs( I believe she scraped her knees on the wall and landed on her leg wrongly) I left her alone and she seemed to be doing okay with some limping and hopping very little and not much walking. 5days ago I had tied a cloth...

I have a older RSL (~4-5 years) who has had a limp for 2 months. She applies light amounts of weight to it and everything seems to be in proper alignment. After a month of isolation, with no signs of recovery, she was reintroduced to the flock. It hasn't been a concern until a week ago when...

Good Morning all, I have a little bantam Silkie hen that has been sitting diligently on a small clutch. She had been getting up daily. Her eggs are now hatched but she is sitting with her legs straight out to the sides like she’s doing the splits. If I pick her up and help her stand, she can...

i just got baby chicks from a store yesterday, and once i got home i realized one of them was hurt. she hops around on one leg and the other is tucked up underneath her. she keeps the foot limp and she never puts in on the ground. she lays down all the time and hops around to eat food and drink...

Hello everyone! My hen is an ayam cemani and is about 18 weeks old. I got her when she was about two weeks. We named her Diggs since that was her favorite thing to do as a chick and was the first one to start digging. She's very sweet and cuddly, so I was worried when I noticed my sweet hen was...

Hey guys. Just needed some help with my baby chicken who has a leg problem. It’s legs are both underneath it which is good but one of its legs are bent so unnaturally. I can’t explain it. Here’s a pic:

Hello all, I have a Dominique who is 36 weeks old, it is now December and she stopped laying eggs about 1-2 ago. Around that same time, I thought I noticed a slight limp when she ran, but didn't see it when she walked, so didn't think much of it. She is my most adventurous lady, always escaping...
