Hello, my quail chick has a swollen foot, it doesn’t seem to be bumblefoot because it is swelling on the top of the foot rather the bottom. Could it possibly be a form of gout? This is my first time hatching and raising quail. I also have a chick with wry neck and I purchased the 80ml vitamin E...
Yesterday I noticed one of my favorite roosters was having trouble walking, so I separated him from the flock and put him in a enclosure where he could see other chickens, but be separate from them. I also found out he has slicktight flea infestation, I checked his fellow roosters and I couldn't...
He recently hatched (I'd say he's a hour or so old.) and seems active besides the swollen legs and feet. Both feet are swollen, with red sores. He's the first in this batch with this issue. His upper joints are red as well. I can take more photos if needed.
Hi,
I have a 22 week old black cooper maran hen who seems to have injured her leg. It is swollen and I cannot tell if it is also slightly crooked/ broken or just the swelling. And there is a slight amount of blood but no visible bones or major cut. She doesn’t look to have bumblefoot or mites...
My girls have always been prone to bumble foot, therefore I have treated them quite a few times.
However; about 2-3 weeks ago, one of my hen’s feet were swollen. I soaked her feet in epsom salt 2xs a day for a week or so. No improvement.
One of my others hens has a slightly swollen foot too…I...

Hi everyone :) I have month old lame baby chick that my neighbors gave to me to try to nurse back to health. As you can see in photos in looks as though something is cutting of circulation. Also, it’s leg sticks far out from its body. I’ve moved it’s legs and it can go back to normal without...
I just noticed that one of my chickens has an extremely swollen foot. I feel awful for not noticing sooner but she doesn’t appear to be limping or anything that I can see and her other foot is completely fine. She does seem to have a little bit of a hard time balancing on the roost with it...
Hello,
I have an elderly (around 7-8 year old) red sex-link hen, and for the last couple of years her feet and ankles have become more and more swollen. I don’t believe it’s bumblefoot, because there are no wounds or cores on the pads of her feet. Her foot pads, ankles, and toes are just...
Hello BYC Community,
I have a month old cross-beaked Silver Laced Wyandotte chick that I rescued from Tractor Supply. Until yesterday he (I think it's a he) has been an extremely active chick. Running, jumping, pecking, following me around the house, etc.
Today I noticed a bit of swelling on...
Napoleon is turning three in March, he's a Columbian rock rooster, and weighs around 7 pounds. About a year ago he jumped out of my arms and landed kind of funny, and limped afterward. His ankle is constantly swollen now, and it affects the way he roosts--his toes have trouble curling around the...
