swollen leg

Hi all, We have a hen that has received some kind of injury. We noticed her not coming out of the coop in the mornings with the others. This is common, as one often stays inside and lays an egg before coming out. However the same one wasn't coming out, so we checked on her to see that she seems...

Hen born 2.22.22 Lives in a completely enclosed Colorado coop and run. Never had any issues like this purple bleu leg before on any girl. Two separate runs w one fence line between 20 hens on each side. This girl’s side HAS a roo. She may have bumble foot spots which I treated tonight w a spa...

My speckled Sussex Beebee has been looking worse and worse. Her comb has been pale for a while, but she's been molting. Now, though, one of her legs is swollen and she has that sick, hunched over look. She's starting to shake her head every few seconds when she's standing still, and every now...

Sorry, this is a long post. I have a 8 week old turkey poult who has had a variety of symptoms for a while now and we cannot figure out what is wrong with it. At about 4 weeks I noticed that this particular poult was presenting with blackness on the beak by the nose and a few days later on the...

I have a 1yr old male coturnix quail that l lost one of his toes a few months back due to an infection. I recently noticed him laying down more and limping when walking and after a little searching, found his left elbow severely swollen. I read on a seperate thread that it could be...

My 4 week old brahma has had an injured foot since we got her at a few weeks ago, it seems like she can't really move her toes but she's been walking on it pretty normally until a few days ago. Now shes been keeping it curled up and has been walking on her toes and she has a hard swollen purple...

help, one of our chicks got caught in between the incubator sections and her leg is red and swollen, it looks really bad and we don’t know what to do, we can’t put a splint on it like we have in the past as it is closer to the body

Hi I have a 6 month old black copper maran who about a month ago started limping with a swollen leg overnight. I checked and there does not appear to be any bumble foot issues going on so I assumed she had strained/ broken it at first and splinted her leg. It then seemed to get a bit worse and...

So this morning I let my flock out of the coop to free range and my Dalmatian duck, Pongo, was huddled in the corner. When I moved towards her she ran out limping. I caught her and her foot looks fine. No signs of bumble foot or any other injury. The leg is a bit swollen and compared to the...

I have a beautiful brahma / rhode island rooster who is about three years old. We noticed him kicking his right leg out behind him a lot. Almost like he was being irritated by something. I had recently moved him into a new run while I added new hens so I thought maybe he was just being sassy...

I have visited my parents and I have noticed that one of their chickens has a swollen leg. They said they noticed it last week and have added apple cider vinegar to the water and also treated the whole leg with betadine. She is eating her laying pellets and vegetables, drinking and pooping...

I have a young rooster, who is maybe 4 months old, who has a swollen leg. It looks like it is the joint part where the leg starts that is swollen. He was getting beat up by the ladies so he is currently separated. His foot is not swollen and I don’t see any scabs or cuts on his leg that would...

i wa looking at a thread from 2014 regarding leg scale mites. I believe, and thank you for the excellent photos from Bahana ( I’ll recheck the members name fter I post), that my Roo has same affliction. I wonder the outcome of your treatments? Beginning of winter now, nervous about how I cannot...

Hi all! This is a very strange problem for me, but so far I haven't been able to find any online help for it so I figured I'd ask my fellow chicken lovers. I have a 2 week old lavender orpington (we are 90% sure it's a roo based on wing sexing) that seems to have a very swollen hip. It's whole...

my duck has one swollen leg. No scab on the bottom of the foot so I don’t think it’s Bumblefoot. He has black spots in his leg. Anyone have an idea?

Several days ago, I noticed our Rooster was laying down, and when up, limping. Upon inspection, his right front leg was extremely swollen (no obvious injury, bumblefoot, etc) I took him to my vet (who does not have a lot of chicken experience) and was Rx'ed Amoxi and Meticam (for pain) I have...

Hello, I have a 2 year old male pekin who has had a swollen, hot leg for several months, on and off. For the last few weeks it has been persistent and getting worse. We have taken him to the vet 3x now over the past year, and though the vet tries to help he is not really a specialist in poultry...
