walking

So last Monday my baby seramas hatched. All but 3 out of 15. Tuesday 2 pipped and waited 12+ hours with no progress. I intervened with both. One did good coming out but other not so good. I only helped enough for them to do the rest. So after a few more hours, I helped a little more...

I made a hiking one but I wanted to make one specifically for walking and running cause it’s slightly different and I currently walk a lot more than I hike. Which still isn’t much but better than nothing. And it’s starting to be more lately. Yesterday I walked a lot because I went to an...

Do you like hiking!? I do!!! I don’t really do it that often anymore but I want to get back into it.

I have about a 1 year old pekin. He hasn’t had any issues until the last week when he started dragging his feet. He’s fine with walking some but will just need to sit down and rest. I occasionally will find him walking fine but it looks like he’s dragging his feet when he walks. No swelling or...

Hello, I recently acquired a few ducklings & geese from a hatchery. My Jumbo Peking seems to have (overnight, literally) grown a deformity! Last night she was zooming around & playing with the others. She cannot walk & is obviously having trouble getting around. 🥺 Upon further inspection, it...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and have a couple of fairly serious chicken problems to ask about... They're separate questions so I'll ask them in separate posts. One of our chickens, Polly, is unable to stand up today. She was fine yesterday, and last night when we closed up the coop she was on...

Hi there, Me again, with the pekin ducks that mysteriously cannot walk. My two year old girl is now struggling to walk. She started about a year ago with a limp and after visit to the vet, xrays saying she's perfectly fine, and carprofen that did nothing, she's gradually gotten worse. Now she...

Hi My rhode island red rooster about 5 months old has one leg lame, it is usually lying down and walks crisscrossing. Should i cull the rooster? I have tried giving multivitamins and provide calcium supplements, but no improvement. It seems to get worse as the rooster gains more weight growing up.

Hey everyone! So back in late august I noticed 3 of my hens’ laying slowed down. Then in September it completely stopped. They were growing noon feathers and losing feathers (especially large wing feathers). Now, those three hens haven’t laid, except for maybe 3 eggs, one or two a broken/soft...

So we recently hatched some tuxedo quail chicks from an incubator about a week ago and they were all doing fine. But this morning we noticed one laying down and not walking as much as the others and now he is barely walking, he was fine yesterday! He is using his wings to support himself when...

My 2 day old chick wasn’t walking and always had it’s wings out. After reading many posts, I realized it most likely had double slipped tendons. I believe I got them popped back into place and wrapped his legs. Since both of them are wrapped, I don’t know whether I should lay it in the brooder...

I recently purchased up 2 Indian runners and the male doesn’t seem to be able to walk properly, I rang the person I purchased him from and he told me there was nothing wrong with him when I picked him up, he was in a box so I didn’t get to see him running around. He seemed to think it’s because...

I noticed my goose's foot is making a clicking noise every time she takes a step, should I be concerned she is 4-5 months old and she walks fine other then the noise with every step.

I have a young salmon faverolle cockerel who is not walking right. He seems to be able to take only tiny steps and loses his balance easily; sometimes he spins in circles. Most of the time he gets to where he's going (food, water, his buddies) and then lay down. I have checked him well for...

My ten day-old goslings are falling ill, and I don’t know of what or why. They are currently on a chick starter formula with supplemented brewer’s yeast- not optimal, I know, but it is what’s available to me. They’ve also been receiving fresh grass with chick grit, oyster shell, and occasionally...

We got these ducks one month ago-they are about 5 weeks old. One of them, about 2-3 weeks ago, jumped out of my sister’s hands while she was swimming the ducks and, while we didn’t think the duck was injured then, seems to have injured itself. The duck hobbles when it walks, and the foot looks...

I have a white breasted turkey that is about a month old and I noticed a few days ago one of his leg appears bent or twisted. He almost walks on the side of his foot and I checked it out and it seems to me the lower bone of his leg that connects his foot to his knee is side ways. I thought maybe...

Hi this baby chick was walking with its mom previously and then was unable to and she left him behind. Her feet seem okay as she is able to hobble and use wings to balance but not sure what's going on. Video is a bit more explanatory. https://streamable.com/t101ev

Hi everyone, I searched and didn’t find anything that seems to apply to my duck so I’m hoping someone can help. One of my Cayuga ducks, Miss Chevious, can’t walk. She will be three years old in May. She lives inside with two ducklings we got her who are now full grown. She has chronic bumble...

Hi all. Need your help here. Theres a baby chick just hatched today. However, its legs are abnormal, makes it unable to walk or stand. Chick can only crawl using its wings and chest. The mama hen tried to help but couldnt do anything. Eventually accidentally stepped on chick very hard...
