Can anyone help me please? My little Silkie Minnie just appeared with this thing which looks to me like it's her ear that's all swelled up all the way around it? But I'm really not sure if it is the ear. Any ideas on what this can be? I don't see any mites or bugs of any kind. We recently got a...

Can anyone tell me what to do? Both my approximate 4mo old Silkies keep jerking their heads. However one of them, the little black one is also doing a really weird movement with her head as well. You can see it clearly in this video. They are eating and drinking and active so far. I'm really...

Hello everyone,
I have two hens. I have a 4yo Barred Rock and a 2yo Black Australorp. They both still lay although my older gal lays mainly very thin shelled eggs or soft shelled eggs. She's done this off and on from after about 2 years of age on. She lays big beautiful eggs every now and then...
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone would have any idea what this could be on my Aussie's neck? I just noticed these bald spots today. I have noticed for a few weeks that there are a few of those small feathers in the roost in the mornings when I go to clean it? I mean 2 to 4 little feathers maybe...
Can I give my nearly 3yo BR Hen Zimecterin Gold for TAPEWORMS,now even though she's going thru this huge molt for over a week now??? She had lost alot of weight due to what I believe was SERIOUS WORM INFESTATION after giving my 2 gals earthworms that A VET told me were great for them but never...
Does anyone know what the dose would be for SMZ TMP 480mg for a 4.1lb 21 wk Black Australorp??
I've only had her about 3 weeks now. I've noticed that she seems like she's sneezing sometimes?? Then she'll also make like this high pitched PEEP sound?? It almost sounds like if she had something...
I got A Black Australorp about 3 weeks ago. She is 21 weeks old now. She's energetic, been eating like a pig, seems healthy.... or so I thought??

My 2 1/2 yr old Barred Rock hen has lost quite a bit of weight in the past couple months though she's eating well just as she always has. She also is behaving normally as always. There are only 2 things that I've noticed that have me worried.
The FIRST.. She does not seem to be having much...
Hello,
Can anyone please help me shed some light on this?? My 2 1/2 yr old Barred Rock hen has started to CROW!!! we lost our only other little chicken almost 2 weeks ago. She was a very gentle, sweet Easter Egger and I'm just devastated. She was my little angel. Let me do anything to her. The...
i am re-homing my BR hen because she has become too aggressive for my gentle little EE. She's not letting her eat, go in the coup and now even problems with them roosting together.
However I cannot leave her alone either as she's still dependent on being with the BR even though she is doing...
Can anyone give me an idea as to what I can do about this?? Daisy just keeps bullying my poor, little Livie over food!! Please don't say to SEPARATE them to eat as Livie WILL NOT eat either if she isn't right beside and in the same bowl as Daisy!! I'd swear she likes being abused and bullied...
Has anyone had a chicken that would not drink water?? Livie, my nearly 2 yr old, Easter Egger just will not drink water?? I have put some ACV in the water a couple times when it was called for and I've recently, even put a vitamin in the water. She wasn't even eating a few weeks ago. I tube feed...
Has ANYONE ever had a chicken with a doughy crop?? It's NOT a sour or an impacted crop!! This is like a ball of dough that's in her crop?? You can knead it just like dough?? A cytology was done and nothing really stood out there and her bloodwork was all normal including a chemistry and a CBC...
My 2yo ee is not eating and lost alot of weight. The vet didn't find anything alarming on physical exam. I could not afford blood and xrays so he started her on Clavimox and calcium to see if it would help. I've been trying to force feed her with a small syringe but I cannot get enough in her...
My 22 month old Easter Egger started to go thru what I thought was her first molt several weeks ago. But all she lost was her big, back tail feather and some of the fluffy under feathers, but hardly any really. Since then she has barely been eating, not laying eggs and as of this morning I can...
