Please help. My daughter got her way and added 3 babies to our flock. Everything has been wonderful with them all pekings. A couple of days ago they were playing around and one got tangled where its feet became discombobulated around one of the water hoses as their pool was being filled. The...

Hi all, This morning unfortunately we had a fox visit the garden but due to hearing it and my partner darting out, the fox dropped my precious poppet and scarpered. (5am). She has a puncture wound above her right wing and to her tummy. She’s had a bath, I’ve cleaned the wounds with vetericyn...

my gosling just pooped this and there was a bit of blood she’s less than 3 weeks and no gaping to breathe but sometimes sounds like a crackle when breathing in very very quiet tho. Only started a high pitched sneeze noise today. No eye discharge and I can’t see anything in her throat yet but...

I feel like my goslings are falling apart with my frequent post. But today I noticed my 7 week old Chinese gosling’s wing was red and swollen. Last week I treated him for Angel wing and this was not present at the time, and I haven’t noticed it until now so I believe this is new. The feathers...

Hi all— I’ve been referencing this form a lot for my newly hatched ducklings, but I haven’t found a definitive answer on this. I have five, five day old ducklings, and this morning, woke to one not standing like the rest. I immediately tried to make some diy sugar solution and also mashed some...

Hello! I am making this post in hopes that someone can suggest something to help my duck… I have a Muscovy duck named SPLASH who is quite old, he is about 15 yrs old, has lost sight in one eye, but still kicking :) SPLASH has always had wat we just called a ‘wonky wing’ ((we assumed he injured...

Help! My hen is sitting on eggs in the cracking stage about to hatch. I moved my hen to an isolated coop for her safey from some bullys. But I just found some sort of feather mites all over my hens inner feathers. I put dimostacious Earth all over her and then relized that may be harmful for the...

Hello! I have a hen who has been walking funny today and slightly lethargic. She was eating and drinking earlier in the day though. I thought she was eggbound by the penguin walk and have given her 2 Epsom salt baths. She is breathing heavy and her vent is consistently pulsating. Her belly also...

I came across my duck laying down, barely able to move this morning. He is unable to stand or move much and it appears that he is unable to open his bill on his own. He has been cheeping constantly. I do not see any physical injures but am new to ducks. I did check the band on his leg but it’s...

So a few days ago I noticed one of my chickens seemed a bit off but I chalked it up to it being an unusually hot day. But tonight when I went to close up the coop she was laying on the ground not moving so I checked her out and she couldn’t stand, had some poop stuck to her butt, and felt a bit...

Hello! I am a stubborn gal who was told by her neighbors that chickens were illegal in our small town of Smithfield, NC. I want to be able to have a nice urban chicken coup and raise a few Silkie chickens. Im looking for like minded individuals to help create change in our little town. I would...

Hello, I come back for a simple question, we have a hen who's not doing well and we are now thinking about trying to put her down just so she stops suffering. We have never really put down our birds except for once and that was our first year of getting chickens so we don't know how to put them...

So for context I've been away at uni for about 3 months and recently came back and my sister had told me this over the phone but I didn't know how bad it was. My speculation is that something bit her or she's been infected with some sort of bacteria. The flesh around the eye is hard and the eye...

Hello. I have a Black Australorp chick. She had been fine and her beak was normal for the past 3 weeks. I brought them home April 6th. But, today I noticed that her beak is F***ed up big time. It actually looks broken to me. It hangs open and when I touch it gently it seems to be loose. She is...

I’ve got a frizzle chicken that because of her past experience with chickens she is an honorary duck and has decided to hatch out three duck eggs. She has been very good at sitting on them everyday and today is supposedly hatch day. I candled them a week ago to make sure they were still alive...

This is my first time ever hatching in an incubator. It’s day 21 and two eggs have pipped so far, but one of them has blood leaking from the crack. Not pouring out by any means, but enough that it’s easily noticeable from such a tiny crack. Should I intervene? Leave it alone and see what...

We just hatched a baby chick in my class, and it seems like one of its legs isn’t working properly, but it’s can still move. The chick was stuck in the egg for about 3 days, but she did get out. It has had a couple good drink of water, but now is peeping because she can’t get up. We think her...
