Hi all.
This is a lady from my very first flock. She’s 8 weeks old. They’ve been in their outdoor run/coop for a week or so. They stay in the run (w/ access to coop during the day) + get to free range when I’m home.
Yesterday I let them out of the run and she was fine as far as I know. They...
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out for advice because I’m out of options. One of my female quail has had this large swelling on her forehead for the past four months. It hasn't gone away or changed in size. I’ve attached a close-up photo for reference.
The swelling is firm and doesn’t appear to...
I have a 1.5ish year old RIR hen that has developed swellings. I was wondering about as it’s, but she’s so young. Also, it almost seems that there are two swellings with one of them being the smaller, redder area. She seems normal otherwise. Red combs, normal stance. She hasn’t been laying...
I took my older (about 4-4.5 years) hen to the vet for bumble foot a couple months ago. She had swelling in both feet but only had a scab on one (that I removed), they did some wound debridement, dressed the foot and gave me an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory. I gave her the medications for...
I have a 20 week Cayuga that has been limping for about a month now, it is definitely not bumblefoot or an infection. I've tried giving her additional niacin and aspirin to no effect, I've also attempted various means of splinting and wrapping the leg in case her ankle is injured. Those methods...

Hello everyone -
We have 5 Orpingtons 2.5 years old. I'm in New Zealand so molting season is halfway done. We had so much sickness in the flock over summer I was glad everyone seemed to be doing okay ish.
Our girl Serena had a day or two of sour crop (others had surgery and months worth)...
I bought baby chicks yesterday, and they had one that wasn't walking right. I didn't want it to die or be left because nobody would purchase it so I brought it home also. I did a lot of research and discovered it's tendon did slip. We were able to shift it back in place and make a little...
Hi!
I went to check on my animals the other day and noticed that my goose had a stinger/thorn stuck out of his “horn” area and was acting weird. There was a ton of swelling on his right side really affecting his eye and crown and horn area.
So we got it out and noticed it seemed to go down...
My silkie rooster has been lethargic for a while. I didn't notice because he tends to hang out in our woodline, but today I walked out into our run and he was squatting in the shade. I checked him for mites, which he had, and then I discovered that his right eye was swollen. It is HUGE, like...
This hen is about 5 years old, I have not seen an egg from her for several months now. She had some feces stuck on her butt feathers for many weeks, today there was some yellow poo on there. I decided to give her a warm bath after smelling a stinkyness coming from her butt. After I cleaned her...
About a week ago this chick (2.5 weeks old) started limping, thinking it was a sprain we examined her and found her leg to look just like her other, no heat, no discoloration, no bend, no swelling, it appeared normal. However 2 days ago I noticed some redness and some swelling near the top of...
Hi BYC community, I’m writing because my girls have me stumped. I have a small mixed flock of 4 that I adopted as chicks from a local farm in Feb: a Barnevelder, 2 Americauna / EE, and one that was supposed to be a Cuckoo Maran, now suspected to be a Barred Rock.
It started last Tuesday (5 days...
Hi there,
Has anyone seen something like this before? I noticed a couple days ago that my chicken's eye comb and feathers are gone and her eye lid seems to be swollen. Besides that, her behavior is normal. She's still eating and drinking and sticking with the rest of the flock. Any suggestions...
Both of my ducks are struggling. They are both about 10 months old and the heavier female presented lane first. We found her in coup laying down and she did not try to move when I approached. I found that her left leg was causing her pain and she wouldn’t put weight on it. I brought her in and...
Has anyone seen this before? This poor little pullet (she is almost 11 weeks old) has this large swollen area under her beak. She is eating and drinking normally, but I am so worried about her. Anyone know what this is and how I should treat her?
Hey all.
I just noticed a few minutes ago that one of my chickens has either a growth or swelling or...something, under her tail, theres a very big scab so I'm leaning towards swelling, but I'm unsure, it's very soft and she doesn't seem to be in pain when I touch it (but she does freeze up when...
Hi BYC 👋
I have this chick that hatched 2 weeks before along with 7 others. Last week I noticed a bump on the eyelid, it was rather small but it kept getting bigger. Pictures from it's right:
Left and center:
There is some swelling under nostrils as well, on the left it's...
Hello all. I've combed through a bunch of threads and haven't found anything yet that quite fits with what I've been dealing with for the past few weeks. I have a black copper marans rooster who is 6.5 months old. Initially we thought his wing was injured but upon further inspection it appears...
For a few days now my girl Loretta has not been feeling well, I first noticed this when I saw her walking like a penguin, my first thought was egg bound however after doing everything for that it ended up not being that, then a group online said she had the classic symptoms for water belly, so I...
