    Limpking 10-week old Swedish duck

    Hi all, my duck has been limping for the better part of 5 days. We thought she was getting better yesterday, but this morning when I let them out of the coop she was limping again. I'll be observing her for the rest of the day since none of the vets are open around here on the weekend to see if...

    Is this a badly healed broken foot? Is she in pain? Help!

    I volunteer at a local history park with their chicken coop and just got an e-mail that they are thinking of euthanizing my favorite hen. She's an old Barred Cochin that I call Macy Gray. :( She has a bad foot and no one is quite sure what happened. I asked the director and she said the hen was...

    Chick having trouble walking

    Not sure if anyone else has ever seen this before but I got this little silkie baby a couple of weeks ago. After a few days she started doing this. She sometimes takes normal steps but the majority of the time it’s this weird hop thing. She’s not injured and there’s nothing stuck in her foot...

    Chicken Limp, URGENT

    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...

    Pekin limping badly, arthritis joint issue

    My poor Stella has been limping since this past fall. She has been to the vet 2 times, given liquid antibiotics anti-inflammatory meds (2xday which she hated!) and had her joint drained. Wintertime her limp was not horrible but then none of the them roamed very far either so she wasn't moving as...

    Limping hen with claw missing

    One of our hens started limping about a week ago. On closer inspection there was no signs of any infection or swelling but one of her claws was missing. We hoped that over time she would start showing signs of getting better but the opposite seems to be true. Now she doesn't just hobble but...

    Any help appreciated - pullet’s leg or mareks

    My pullet (pretty sure she’s a Cochin) has trouble putting a leg down. I did take her to the vet, but they’re urban vets not accustomed to seeing chickens. I thought it was mareks, and will know tomorrow. But now I’m thinking it’s a leg injury. I don’t know how to attempt to diagnose or treat...

    Limping Cockerel

    I got a new cockerel on Wednesday. He is a 6 month old Dominique called Domino. I added him to my rooster flock, and he fought the leader of my rooster flock (Griffin) and won. Today, after letting him out, I noticed him hiding from the other roosters. I attempted to catch him, and realized he...

    Duck limp

    Hi my duck Napoleon has been limping for quite sometime now and it's only getting worse to the point where he can't lift his head up and uses his beak to hold himself up. He still drinks water and eats some food and wobbles around chasing the other duck, Francois. Napoleon can't swim anymore. I...

    Any advice would be welcome. I nursed her back to health for about 3 weeks from not being able to walk on both legs to walking fine and then suddenly a week or so later her right leg is weak again and she limps on it but not all the time it seems to be on and off. She also pants while the the...

    Chicken with weak/paralyzed leg

    I have a Japanese bantam hen, around 6 months old. Koko suddenly started limping on one leg about a week ago. She was totally fine one day, then apparently paralyzed in her left leg the next. She's not walking on the leg at all and the foot is curled under. I'm not totally sure it's paralyzed...

    Chick having trouble standing and walking. How do I help her?

    I am really new to chickens. We just got six chicks about a week ago! Five of them are doing great-- cheeping and eating and pooping and running around like nobody's business. I started noticing a few days ago that one of them (Janice) is not doing so hot however. She seemed way weaker and less...

    Chicken with a limp

    One of my chickens started limping and acting funny the other day. She puts some pressure on it but not a lot at all. She still is roosting on the high roosts with the others and eating and drinking. No loose wing either. What could it be? and what can I do to help? I posted a picture and...

    Chicken found limp but alive. Need to know next steps!

    Hello! Found my bantam silkie chicken lying by the door of the coop upon releasing the others to free range. I did not note where she was prior to seeing her just lying there. I thought she was dead as completely limp with closed eyes but my touch made her twitch ever so slightly, open her...
