leg injury

Really worried as I came outside to check on the goslings only to see that one of them can’t walk. It seems to be one foot that it can’t fully stand on, I’ve checked it all over and I can’t see any injury and he doesn’t flail or act in pain when I touch or move any part of it and it all seems to...

video My 3 year old drake’s leg is straight back. He can’t walk on it, can’t even move it. I cannot feel a break, when I move it around he doesn’t seem to be in pain. I have tried pushing it around to see if it might pop back but no luck. Everything else if fine, including the other leg. Any...

I have a roughly 3/12 or 4 year old hen who has suddenly stopped moving. Two days ago I found her stumbling around in her coop while the others were roosting for the night, looking around as if she couldn't see well and walking into walls and stumbling. Yesterday she acted fine. This morning I...

Hi all - my 4 year old Pekin hen, Jane, has been struggling for awhile with an apparent sinus infection and injured leg. There are photos to show how awful she looks. Information: - she developed an extreme limp very suddenly 4 months ago (left leg). - her limp has slowly gotten worse to the...

Cherry, my 2 year old barred rock hen began limping yesterday. I brought her inside overnight to isolate her and let her rest in the hospital box. She has not improved any, and will not bear weight on the leg at all. There is no external sign of injury. She is eating normal commercial feed and...

About a week ago this chick (2.5 weeks old) started limping, thinking it was a sprain we examined her and found her leg to look just like her other, no heat, no discoloration, no bend, no swelling, it appeared normal. However 2 days ago I noticed some redness and some swelling near the top of...

On Monday one of our 3 mo. old chicks took a fall out of the coop about 1.5 - 2 ft, and broke her leg. That same day, having not known exactly what happened yet, I brought her inside for quarantine. Her left leg was very swollen and totally limp. I knew something was wrong but it wasn’t until...

I wanted to make a separate thread for Miss BBs foot/leg injury. She holds up her leg close to her body and just hops around when she has to. She mostly just lays all day. When she tries to put it down her wing falls down almost like a crutch to break the fall. This has been going on for 3 weeks...

Hello there, I could really use an advice from people who have geese and had experience with injuries in the ankle area. I have lots of experience with chickens but none with geese. I saw this poor little guy in a park. He hopped on one leg, raising the other. I brought him home, examined the...

Hey everyone, I’ve decided to post here because I need some insight into helping my duck Remi. About a week ago I noticed that Remi was limping, and then the next day he couldn’t put any pressure on his left foot at all. It was super swollen and he was having to use his wings to get around...

I have a 3yo Black Astralop that had bad heat stroke last fall (northern California), during which her legs seemed to give out for a day or so until recovered and reintroduced with her flock. She immediately went into an early molt. She has never laid since and does not roost with her sisters...

Hello, Earlier this month I had a very sick hen (3 1/2 year old Rhode Island Red). I spent a week giving her antibiotics and feeding her recovery food and yogurt with a syringe. She recovered beautifully at the beginning of last week and appeared to return to her normal, active self. She was...

Eight days ago, while letting my birds out of the coop, one of them made a particularly high jump from her roost that I thought was concerning; she did not seem at all bothered and showed no signs or injury, walked just fine the rest of the day and even roosted again that night. Seven days ago I...

So Drunk Waddles was attacked right above his leg. Everything seemed to be healing fine but in the past couple of days his leg has been swollen and looks like it could explode due to the pressure. I have started him on antibiotics. Looking for more recommendations please.

hello, we recently came across an injured chicken while visiting where we get our eggs from. I need some help figuring out how to help it, splint, letting it rest, or doing something further. We dont have it yet since it took a lot of thought to say yes since it will get killed if it doesn't do...

A dog got at my hens and while I don’t think it actually got to this one I believe she injured her leg or foot getting away. She can’t put any weight on it and is using her wing to balance and hobbles over. Vet can’t find a break. She can’t sprawl her foot, it’s scrunched up like this all the...

Hey everyone looking for some help. I have this emu (Oscar) who just started on having issues on his one leg. It looks like it's starting to bend sideways is this considered pulled tendon? How can I help this guy out any advice would be appreciated. I've attached some photos. I've also tape his...

I am posting on behalf of a chicken owner who does not have an account here, so bear with me. (Yes, I will inform them this forum exists. :-] ) Said chicken owner noticed their ~3wk old Brahma chick limping suddenly. It is eating and drinking perfectly, and seems to be aware and active despite...
