limping chick

I have a 3mo old Salmon Faverolle who is limping and has a black circle scab on her foot. I am a first time chicken mum, should I take her to the vet? It looks like she’s in pain and I’ve been spraying the vetericyn on her injury twice a day and cleaned out her bedding area. What should I do?

Hi, new chick owner here. I have done research and talked to other chicken parents, but thought I would come here for other advice/thoughts. I have a 4 week old barred rock that is limping.

One of my 7 week old barred rocks has a swollen foot. She's been laying around a lot the last 2 days. She's still eating and drinking and seems otherwise normal. There's no scab, so I don't think it's bumblefoot. I was wondering if she broke or dislocated her toe. It stills out at a different...

My chick, River, is dragging her leg after a cat attack. She is not eating or drinking and we are syringe feeding her and using an eye dropper to give her water. We have been putting Neosporin and Vetricyn on the tiny wound. (It’s not bad) I really need help QUICK. What should I do. I’m raising...

Do any of you know what this could be? She is a 7 1/2 week old Maran. She started limping last week but is acting fine otherwise. She has this bump on her leg. No mites that I’m aware of. Her scales and legs look fine otherwise. She does hold her tail in the down position but always has so I...

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.
