    Dark red lump under wing

    Hello, my chicken was holding her wing awkwardly and when I looked underneath there is a horrifically big lump. Does anyone know what it could be and if it's curable or if I need to cull her please? I've learned the hard way not to let them suffer if they're very sick.

    I had a chicken injured last fall by a dog that we were able to save, but in the process, I had to clip back feathers on one wing, so the feathers didn’t contaminate the wound and reduce risk of infection and irritation from rubbing, as the wound was right behind/under the back of her wing...

    Holding wing away from body

    This girl is intermittently holding one wing away from her body. Sometimes she’s doing it and sometimes she’s not. She doesn’t appear in distress. Is this a common injury or strain? And how long before you would seek veterinary care?

    Angel wing?

    First time duck owner and a couple of my ducks developed a wing/wings that stick out. First we thought it was just the weight of all the incoming feathers. Thought it couldn't be angel wing as when they would spread their wings out (flapping them) wing looked normal. Diet info: Fed duckling...
