    Fly Strike?

    I have an issue with my 6 year old rescue Henny. After finding piles blood in the coop, I checked all of my 4 chickens and found that Henny had a big lump and wound under her oil gland.

    Hi everyone! I wish I was coming with better news. My broad breasted white turkey, Evelyn, is not doing well at all. Earlier yesterday she was doing fine going after food.

    HELP DUCK FOOT INJURY

    Two of my ducks were attacked by a raccoon around two weeks ago. Personality wise, they seem great and extremely active. However I’m growing concerned for both of their feet but mainly my smaller Pekin, Fae. He is the most active but his foot is blackening, smells, and doesn’t seem to harbor...

    Is hen ready to be re-introduced to flock?

    It's been nearly a month since the bear attack that got our rooster & 2 of our older hens, along with taking a good chunk out of this girl's back. I'm really happy with how it's been healing. I see no inflamed or infected area, and no strange odor. Here's a pic of what her wound currently looks...

    Bear mauled chicken

    I need your help, y'all, and your input on what I should do for one of my girls that was badly clawed at by a bear last night. Last night, we had our first successful bear attack (well, successful for the bear). We thought we'd done enough to deter them (we live in the southern Sierras), as...

    Yellow coming from feather - possibly wound

    Hi I have rescued a cockerel that was abandoned - he had been attacked but his neck is recovering very well and he seems much better in himself. I have noticed recently that he has yellow coming from top of his tail feathers - looks a bit bald this patch so I’m thinking it could be a wound from...

I checked with a flashlight and saw maggots streaming across what I thought was his butt, idk it was dark and I...

    Do I bandage the duck's leg or not?

    One of our ducks has a leg wound (not on the foot). I've emphasized that because everything we have looked up has talked about foot injuries but it's not the same. It's a long gash, one of two wounds we found her with several days ago. We believe a predator attacked her but did not see what...

    Fly strike & possible rat attack

    Our biggest rooster overheated a few days ago, he's big and active and doesn't stop to care for himself if he feels "at risk" ... We're fighting a big rat problem this summer and he's killed a few himself already, so I assume he's been worried about the rats and not drinking ... Well he decided...

    Infection? (Graphic photos)

    This chick was scalped 2 nights ago. The first night I used peroxide, saline and white cream Neosporin. The next morning I tried taking off the Neosporin but some of it wouldn't come off. I used saline and then iodine to rinse it after getting off as much cream as I could. Then applied clear...

    Princess, a 4 month old hen, disturbing wound

    Hello. Princess is a 4 month old Red Star. Well, that's what the lady who sold her to us said. She's the smallest of her group, all the same age. She had strange wounds on her back about 2 months ago, so we separated her from the flock, thinking it was from attacks. We just put everyone...

I have only had chickens for about 6 weeks and these were a family member who needed to re-home because of moving. They are a year old at the end of the month. There...

    Raw, red spot on rooster.

    My rooster, Dinner, has had this spot for a few weeks now. 😕 I can't figure out how he got it & I can't get rid of it either! I tried bag balm & a "poultry wound spray".. I also checked for mites that might be on him, but I didn't see anything. Does anyone have any idea about what this could...

    What to do about a bully rooster?

    We recently got a silkie rooster to add to our flock. The lady who we got him from didn't know how old he was as she got him from someone else (she got him in a random assortment of chickens and didn't need any more roosters), but he seems to be about 1 year old to me. He is our only rooster and...
