    Have a smaller chick that has been “doppy” since she started walking. Finally was able to see her foot and she has curly toes. Am I able to splint these straight with popsicle sticks and coban? She’s getting food and water but frequently gets run over by the others. She’s getting bigger but...

    Splint for young pullet attacked by hawk - broken toes/foot

    My Barnevelder pullet was in rough shape yesterday after an awful hawk attack. Of my 3 pullets, 1 was taken/killed, 1 (this one) severely injured, and the other unharmed. I believe the hawk attempted to get the Barnevelder first and maybe she dropped from high in the air, causing the leg to...

    My Brahma is limping

    Hi, I’ve just gotten chickens for the first time. My Brahma hen is about 4 months old and she has started limping recently.

    Assisted hatch, incubator issues

    After losing 6 eggs and 1 chick, I wanted to give up on this incubator. Something isn't right with it. But sadly either I lose the eggs or try at least. So in an effort to save 2 turkey eggs, I've been constantly checking this incubator. The heat and humidity were all wonky, and our turkey...

    Chick with dislocated knee or 1 splayed leg??

    I got a chick from a friend at 4 days old. She seemed to think the knee was dislocated so she put the leg in a splint. We kept it on for a week and the chick didn't use the leg much but still got around. When we took it off the chick had a cast sore but not unmanageable. Now the leg is kinda...

    So a veterinarian friend of mine dropped off a 3 day old chick with me that she splinted the leg on. She came across it in a feed store and they were going to euthanize it. I'm not exactly sure what is wrong with it. It's eating and drinking and I keep moving it to be near the food and water. It...

    Splint, amputation, nature or euthanasia? (Photos)

    Hey y’all. My poor little olive egger pullet got taken by a fox, but he was interrupted in the act and dropped her. Although she has no visible wounds (blood, puncture), she has completely lost the use of one leg. This happened about 4 days ago. I thought for sure that she wouldn’t make it. Her...
