Hello everyone,
One of our ducks got injured two days ago (6/18), we think she was hit in the road. She had a few wounds that we had a veterinarian t stitch up. He has experience with poultry.
Around the sutures are a few clear/white bubbles. Does anyone know what they are? Just pockets of...
hi all!
A while back we discovered a tiny scab on the neck of my chicken. We treated it with aluspray but she kept scratching at it. Now it looks like this. Her neck and face is all swollen and she keeps scratching. We put bandages on it and that seemed to help a little bit. We decided to air...
My Easter egger got attacked by 2 dogs and there’s a huge chunk of skin missing from her neck, I’ve never had to deal with wounds before and it being in the neck is so much worse. Below are some photos of how it looks. I probably need to clean it but there’s like a gap in the neck (circled in...
My little Americauna, Julia, got attacked by a Pitt bull Friday morning. The rest of the day she hid from me and tried to stay in the dark. I switched her food to Medicated Chick Starter feed from Manna Pro and giving her lots of water. I have some antibiotics and pain reliever from my other...

I’m new to chicken keeping and found my hen with this terrible wound on her side. She is very bald due to feather picking/ over grooming. I believe the rooster mounted her and sliced her with his spur when he couldn’t hold on due to lack of feathers. I am going to flush with peroxide and apply...
The wound is located on the back of her head, she has another smaller injury near the side of her face. I believe the cause was my older turkey hen.
The wound itself is small, but it does seem pretty deep. I cant tell if it's bad or not since I don't have experience with these injuries.
The...
Hey chicken tenders, one of my favorite chickens has a necrotic wound under her wing that they vet wanted $1k to surgically debride. I can't afford that, so I left with antibiotics and anti inflammatories, and I'm going to try to clean it up myself. Has anyone ever dealt with dead tissue before...
I have a hen that was attacked by a predator some time last night. She is 1-2 years old and lives in a large chicken tractor and attached run with 13 other hens and 2 roosters. They have pine bedding. She does not seem lighter than the others. She is awake and alert but somewhat subdued after...
So basically yesterday morning I woke up to find a random chick in with my girls, one of these sneak clutch moments, and clearly the poor thing had been stamped and/or pecked, because they have a few cuts and wounds. Fresh fresh baby. I managed to stem the bleeding from the ones they have around...
I didn’t check on my hens today as it was raining all day so I checked in the afternoon and my hen had blood like right by her ear so I got her and cleaned it. I also kept her separate but it’s a little whole in her ear what can I do to help her recover any recommendations???!!!🙏🙏 she seams...
Hey guys! I know it’s been awhile I have t had access to wifi to let you guys know what was going on. My hen dodo, as most of you know had her tongue sticking out from the skin under her beak.
I don’t have any vets around, but after using honey and giving her some apple cider vinegar water and...
My Lavender Orphinton, Sue - the sweetest girl I have that follows me around like a puppy - was severely injured today...about 2 hours ago. I have 13 chickens: 12 are hens; 1 Rooster. He is about 23 weeks old and in the past month, he's started showing his rooster behaviors. I am not absolutely...
OK new chicken owner here and I could use some help. My five pullets are four months old they've gotten along great up until today. This morning I noticed that one of them had some damage to her comb. I'm not sure if it was done by one of the others overnight but the blood was dried so I cleaned...
It’s going on 4 days now since 4 of my hens were attacked, 3 of which died. The one that survived has a large open wound on the back of her neck. I’m pretty sure I interrupted whatever animal it was that was attacking my hens because the bodies were still warm and one was still alive. I...
Hello all. As my chicks feathers are coming in ive noticed red, almost bleeding bald spots on their backs near shoulder blades. I believe it’s from other chicks pecking at her back. Should I seperate the perpetrator? Can I put neosporin (not sure if that’s spelt right) on the effected area? This...
Hi all! Long time lurker here; finally gave in.
I’ve got an injured hen, as the title suggests, and it began about a month ago when I noticed swelling in her foot. She had the classic plug scab for bumblefoot, so I took her to an avian vet. The vet said it looked like there had been an injury...
We just rescued 7 roosters a few days ago and it seems that 6 of them think that the 7th is a hen. This does make sense because none of them have ever seen a hen. This poor guy has a huge hard bump on the top of his head where the other roosters keep trying to grab him when they attempt to mount...
