#injured

About 7 month ago my duck had a small odd growth that kept growing untill it was pretty big, then one day I went out to check on the ducks when it had just fallen off and left a hole. I thought it was a good thing and that it could finally heal but it just won't heal. It stayed as a black scab...

Hey there! First timer for bumble foot and it has this chicken mama in a tizzy!! I’ve soaked and soaked her foot in warm epsom salt for the past 3 days and have been trying to pull the bumble out with a pair of clean tweezers. I’ve sprayed vetrx on it every night and keep it wrapped in guaze to...

I’m posting about my Porcelain D’uccle Bantam Hen. Her name is Irish, she just turned 3 years old and I love her to death. Last Tuesday (3-4 days ago) I noticed she was making a face and standing weird. She also retreated and refused to come to me like she usually does. I knew this wasn’t a good...

I need some help/advice. I went out to change water this afternoon and found my 3 month old Cuckoo Maran in some bushes. When I picked her up, I noticed dry blood and she was having trouble walking. After looking her over, it looks like something tried to get her. She has some puncture wounds...

So I have this rooster chicken and about 3 weeks ago I saw that his right wing was down and so I waited about 5 days to see if it healed and it didn’t so I tied it up for him and he kept taking the bandage off so we left his wing to see if it healed by itself and now that I checked his wing it’s...

I have only had chickens for about a year and this is the first time something like this has happened. I’m not sure exactly what happened to her but be piece of skin was ripped off exposing some flesh. What should I do about this? Thank you!

One of our light brahma chicks got attacked today by a neighbor's dog. There is proof of the dog, as I saw him in my neighbors yard earlier and there are paw prints under a tree, that look like he was running. The hens name is Rose, and she is around 14 weeks old. She is the biggest out of our...

7 days ago my polish hen was injured when my frizzle rooster, then my Wyandotte trying to jump on her back. She just kinda went down and hadn’t been able to walk since. I’ve nursed her continuously for 7 days: I feel like we are finally in a real good place as she has been able to stay in her...

Our two australorp broodies hatched out two chicks (one to each hen). Our less aggressive broody rejected her red chick before it had even fully hatched, and I moved it to the aggressive hen's nest with her black chick which was happy and healthy. The nest day- both hens were in the same nest (i...

So I have had chickens for many years and this, was the first time this has ever happened to me. To say the least it was an interesting experience for not only peanut but also myself. I got the egg out safely but everything has not gone back to normal. Anyone have any experience with this?
