If she has a limp it could be a neurological issue like Marek's or Leukosis. The dark green poo can mean that she is dehydrated. What are you feeding her and is she eating/ drinking? She should be separated from the flock in her own cage, and it should be warm and private, but ideally she can...
He unfortunately kept declining. He was a big heavy cockerel actually, not even a year old, Idk what he did but had he filled out completely upon reaching adulthood he would've been huge. He never had any symptoms except the lameness in the one leg so I'm sure it was an injury and we just...
Anyone had any luck curing these? We have a big rooster whose hock joint is sore. He's been on hospital pen rest with baby aspirin for a week with no improvement. No other symptoms and he is eating well. I'm thinking vet wrapping it might be an option, and we are going to try epsom salts...
OH wonderful. Well all i can say is beware. I prefer not to post an online review as I'm not interested in dealing with retaliation and I'm sure she would try to.
For sale, central Ohio. He would like to find a good home with IB peahens. (he dislikes other colors). 5 years old. Will deliver within 50 miles, or pick up. No shipping.
Geez! I wonder what he would've done to the lawn mower? :D My last two peacocks were very friendly, curious birds who never acted aggressive like that, except to the white roosters. (what is it with white??} and then only during breeding season. They would fight with each other of course...
I havent seen any more pea eggs since then and she never acts broody.. So apparently it was a one time thing, very strange. I wonder what could be bothering him...maybe the roosters? He has always been more stressed out than our other peacocks in the past. But why just Pearl? He has never...
She's already seen this, I think, so apparently not. Poor Pearl. This afternoon though she was not too far away from him, happily having some sunflower seed treats, and he left her alone.
I've mentioned this before but just have to again because it is so strange to me. We have a 5 year old IB peacock who of course thinks he's the best thing ever. We also have a Charcoal peahen who is 6 years old. They have lived together for the past five years. Every spring and summer as soon...
Omg we've had so many of these plants and trees in our yard and on our property and honestly have never had any problems. And I beg to differ....chickens are cautious about what they sample. Also I accidentally gave our flock avocado on a leftover salad recently...and nothing happened. We've had...
In our flock we have never had more than one bird with Marek's (or whatever neuro problem it is, and there are a few conditions that have similar symptoms) get it at a time. Many develop immunity naturally. If your chick hasn't developed additional symptoms by now, it is probably an injury.
