I have an eight week chick I got her at tractor supply. Her one leg sticks out to the side. She gets around pretty well on one leg She can move her toes and seems to drink and eat ok. And seems happy but Definitely not the size of her other litter mates
Was wondering if there is a way to...
Yesterday I noticed she was limping. I soaked her foot but didn’t see or feel anything. I noticed her toes are curled when I pick her up. She is still holding that leg up and limping when she walks on it. She is eating and drinking. I’m a new mom and could use the help.
One of our ducks has a leg wound (not on the foot). I've emphasized that because everything we have looked up has talked about foot injuries but it's not the same. It's a long gash, one of two wounds we found her with several days ago. We believe a predator attacked her but did not see what...
Our biggest rooster overheated a few days ago, he's big and active and doesn't stop to care for himself if he feels "at risk" ... We're fighting a big rat problem this summer and he's killed a few himself already, so I assume he's been worried about the rats and not drinking ... Well he decided...
Recently, I lost one of my chickens, Mariana. (she was a rir) I still don't know why, although I think it may be mareks? I don't have much experiance with diseases and such so i'm not too sure.
One day I went to check on her and she couldn't use her leg. The day before her leg was fine... it...
Help!! We adopted this lady about 3 months ago and from the start she didnt have any interest to roam in the garden like other ladies and she very didnt move around if its not necessary and looked a bit depressed. We noticed she didnt take care of her rear feathers and that they were poopy from...
There is a baby bunny that lives in our yard, I see it every day. But this last week I just noticed that I think it has broken leg!! It’s left leg sticks out of its body at a weird angle. It is so slow, and just slowing hops away. So slow that I could easily touch it. What should I do?? I know...
Hello, my little chicken Coki, a wyandotte has weird lumps on her legs that we thought was bumblefoot, I am asking here to maybe identify what my chicken is going through right now and if we can do something ourselves before going to the vet, (it's pretty far and we're young so we don't have...
My little snuggle chick, Donna, has something wrong with her legs. I noticed about two weeks ago when we brought her home from my MIL's. I fear maybe her legs broke on the ride home but I'm unsure. She walks around and eats and drinks, but she can't roost anywhere. She wobbles around but I fear...
I have a Rhode Island Red chick who’s right knee appears to bend inward instead of backwards. I’ve read through threads of slipped tendons where they say “just slide it back” her tendon doesn’t seem to move. Does this look like a slipped tendon or something else?
My leghorn got hurt yesterday. She somehow hurt her leg could not fly yesterday afternoon very listless. She cannot put weight on one leg but today she is able to fly a little holding her leg up. She has more energy eating and drinking well. Leg does not seem to be broken. It was very swishy mud...
Hello guys I had an accident last week due to one of my cockatiels being on top of my canaries cage the other day manage to reach to grab one of them and did some damage. I haven’t made an appointment to the vet because I thought at the time when it happen it was some blood and was going to heal...
Hello! I’ve hatched a few other breeds and currently have other chicks but has anyone found that Vorwerk’s seem to have leg issues or is it just my babies?
The eggs are from an online seller and the babies are all slowly developing leg issues with the first one developing problems at a few days...
Hello. I have five 5-6 week old ducks and have been having issues with this particular one below. Starting with symptoms of niacin deficiency and not being able to walk, I started her on b complex orally 1mil starting at 4 weeks old. The next she was a lot better and walking but pigeon toed. Her...
It's a batch of 4 turkey poults that are 6 days old. They hatched with some other chicks. They all seemed to be doing fine, everyone looked okay although I haven't closely examined all of them yet. Today my father notices one of the turkey poults seemed to have his leg stretched out behind him...
I want to preface this by saying I do not have the option to send him to a retreat. Due to Avian flu they are not excepting newcomers.
We saved him because he mom was gone, even after searching. His leg was really busted aswell.
Fast forward a day, and he ends up continually jumping up on his...
Now my dad thinks she sprained it but we aren’t really sure, her left leg isn’t responding but it looks the same, it doesn’t seem to hurt much since she can move around now just not very effectively, she still eats her food and water and has gone into her sand box, we don’t think it’s broken it...
A year ago we had a baby Welsummer chick that got a broken leg somehow. It was horrible seeing her not able to put any weight on it. We debated whether we should "do away with it" but decided to see how things went. We also thought about doing a splint, but I was afraid of doing it wrong and...
Hi there,
One of my ducks is limping, I’ve examined her… attempted to apply my skills as a doctor unsuccessfully!! The only thing I can see but I don’t know whether is something to worry about is perhaps she’s stood on something. I’ve attacked photo of right and left foot for comparison...
