    Blisters and wounds on face and combs

    I “rescued” some silkies and one black (supposed) Astrolop. We aren’t sure what all is wrong. I have them isolated away from my main flock, with an electric fence buffer to keep a 6 ft DMZ type zone). They aren’t as active as my normal flock but they aren’t lethargic either. Their legs have...

    Hello, I have a happy, seemingly healthy young chick born mid April. She showed a few black spots on her comb. One quickly became inflamed and scabbed over. Now she has one on her eye and one on her chest. They get bigger daily. Is this fowl pox? If so, do I just use the sprays or vaccinate? If...

    Jersey Giant Butt Feathers Missing

    Hi everyone, My Jersey Giant has missing feathers below her vent and her skin is blue with some sores. I have a few other hens with feathers missing below their vents, but their skin is healthy and I attribute that to their good egg laying. This jersey giant is otherwise healthy. I’ve posted a...

    Is this bumblefoot?

    Hi Guys! I noticed our pet rooster has been standing on one leg and limping a little bit here and there for the past few days. I checked out his feet and noticed a scab on his toe- not where I would expect to see bumblefoot (however I have no experience with it). As a chick he had horrible...

    Help! Scabs all over chicken

    A few days ago, I noticed our Delaware was losing feathers. She's a few months over a year so I thought she was having an off first molt and didn't notice anything on a cursory check.

    Help! Something is wrong with my hen’s wing. Pic included

    My hen has a sore on her wing and it’s turning green? She’s also losing feathers on that wing only. I’m a new chicken rescuer so I’m not sure what’s wrong with it. Any advice would help. I’ve attached pics of the good wing and the bad one.

    Any help appreciated.

    I have a single bird of 4 backyard chickens that has come down with some weird sores. I’ve raised them from chicks and they are 2. I’ve dealt with a few black spots on combs before but this seems worse. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

    How do you cure bad sores on a chicken's back?

    I have a Barred Rock hen who is basically at the bottom of the pecking order. She constantly gets pecked by a number of my other hens. They seem to peck at two certain spots (probably from blood all ready there). The sores are red and swelled and are where her wings connect to her body. They are...
