injured

Hi friends! I have four beautiful hens, and tonight when I was putting them to bed, I noticed one was injured. It was one of my other birds picking on her, not a wild animal. She has a wound on her comb which is bleeding a lot all over the place. I have had this issue in the past and didn’t...

I’ve got a turken that’s almost 4 weeks old, I’m not sure if its a boy or a girl, but 4-5 days ago she started displaying issues with depth perception and was sleeping a little more. I made notice that she was babying the eye when I examined all the chicks, but I didn’t think much of it except...

I have a 1/2 Sumatra 1/4 cubalaya 1/4 Easter egger rooster that is a little under 3 months old, that other day he was flapping around and hit his wind on some cinder blocks. I noticed his left wing seemed to have a couple of odd feathers sticking odd that were attached to what looked to be his...

My duck appears to have cut 2 small holes in the webbing on her foot. I’m not exactly sure what happened, but should how should I treat this? She and my other duck both live free range in our property and I don’t want it to get infected. Should I keep her in the coop for a while until it heals...

My 7-8 week old Cream Legbar had her face scratched by a possum on Tuesday night (we caught it and fixed the weakness in her housing). It seemed fine, but then I noticed that it is a green color above the wound. My daughter also thinks her face looks a little more red than usual. Is there...

About 2 weeks ago my 5 month old chicken hurt her leg, I don’t know how but I found her limping around. Since then I’ve isolated her from the other, been giving her aspirin, and spraying her leg with anti septic spray. However she does not seem to be getting better she stopped laying her eggs...

My dad was letting three standard chicks and our two oegbs at the same time. One of the chicks ran towards our bantam rooster, who spurred the poor chick half an hour ago. This situation should never have occurred but it has been limping and doesn't use it's right leg. What could this be and how...

I was watching my chickens free range yesterday when I noticed that my production red was curling up one of her feet as she walked. I went to see what was wrong and saw that she has an extremely swollen toe. It is really bulbous and the toe and claw are both bent sideways. Does anyone know...

I have a young hen who is suddenly not putting weight on her left foot. She has been this way for a few days now. She is eating and drinking but not putting any weight at all on the leg. Yesterday I did not notice anything on the foot that might indicate an injury or infection but today I do see...

I noticed this morning that two of my chickens got pretty picked on. One of their bottoms like like this. I’m worried. I have him/her(?) separated in a separated cage for now with food and water. What should I do?

Two of my hens are having a little issue. One of them has not been walking for two days now, and one has been limping for around the same amount of time. I inspected them for injury and found these round black-brown balls that pulled out from between their toes (the one not walking only had...

About 2 weeks ago I came home from work and I checked on my ducklings and they all were doing great so I went in and started dinner. After going back outside I noticed one wasn’t acting the same. She was unable to walk and when she tried she just fell forwards and started flapping her wings all...

Hi, I have my own chickens I'm raising from incubation, I've noticed today my chick has what looks like a broken leg but I understand it could be a slipped tendon? I have no idea what's happened, one day the chick was fine and now it's not. I have it in a small box to restrict movement, it has...

Hey, I know I only post when something goes wrong lol, but my buff orpington, Angel, almost 2 years old, is normally a really healthy girl. I've never thought she might be sick or in pain, she's a very vibrant girl with an attitude. She lets me know when she doesn't like something, but that's...

Hey...I’m literally writing this with tears in my eyes because I love my ducks so dearly and it’s hurting my heart that one got injured. Tonight my husband found our Pekin Duck, Violet, full of blood. But upon first look couldn’t figure out where. We looked underneath her bill and there’s no...
