    Not an Emergency, but it is an unknown injury

    I tried to search information about roosters injuring themselves, but couldn't find anything... I trimmed my little bantam rooster's spurs today. It was overdue, but didn't seem too bad. He's been holding up one leg lately and I thought while I had him held down to trim his spurs I would check...

    Why are my hens getting this wound?

    Hello, I am wondering why 3/19 of my hens have this wound in the same spot. There are no roosters among them. They are in a portable tractor so they have access to fresh grass every 2 days. I noticed the wounds fresh 2 days ago, they seem to be scabbing over nicely now. Does anyone have any...

    Hi all! 3 weeks ago, I found my 1yr old hen a couple deep wounds on the top of her back and side. I think it's from our rooster. I cleaned the wound, sprayed Vetericyn and BluKote quite a bit. She's been doing well the past weeks, eating and drinking normally. The wound on her side has...

    Ducks attacked by rats - how to clean the wound? (Warning, picture)

    I was cleaning out the coop this morning and noticed one of my ducks sitting in the corner (the rest were all outside). I picked her up and the skin on her back and all of her feathers was gone. Her sibling (another buff) had the same. Picture is below, warning to those who are squeamish. My...

    Hello! I have an almost 1 year old Polish/ frizzle hen that has a hole (?) on her back. It is almost entirely tucked under her wing. I noticed a naked spot on her back a couple of weeks ago. I sprayed her with Blue Kote (you can see the remnants of that). Today, I noticed that it was much...

    Back of hen's head degloved?

    I went out this morning to find one of our hens in their enclosed run with the back of her head like this! It almost looks degloved. I can't find any other injuries and none of the other chickens are injured or missing. The back of our rooster's legs do have dried blood on them so my suspicion...

    Wounded Chicken Recovery

    Our chicken was attacked by a hawk, we thought she was fine but a couple hours later discovered a bad gash. I believe what was visible was the “brisket” of chicken in meat terms. We treated her by cleaning the wound and stitching her up. She is sleeping inside in a dog crate. It is covered and...

    I suspect my chick is getting picked on

    Hi, I have 13 chicks ages 14 to 16 weeks and I came home from work today and one has a wound on her head. I’m not sure if she’s been getting picked on or if this is an injury that she incurred herself but I suspect it is from another chicken. I have separated her and I put her in a dog cage...
