This bird died at my friends house while I was in my way over to dispatch it. Upon inspection, the lungs (?) and the fat around the gizzard had these nodules. I was in a hurry and didn’t look too much further, but she also had a large volume of green fluid and a little bit of smelly/eggy debris...

I’ve been struggling with poor hatchability with my two pair of Diamond doves. Usually the eggs die in the last two days of incubation. I break out all dead eggs to check what stage they are. I tossed the latest two eggs right into the incubator after they were laid, to see if we’re looking at...

Good afternoon everyone. I banded one of my babies two days ago, and the next monring she had developed a very swollen foot, though the band was still loose and moved freely. I don't know if she injured that foot on the band somehow, or what happened, but I removed it for now and started...

Warning, graphic images below text. Context; I put 10 fertile button quail eggs from my birds in the incubator. Lost power early on for 24hrs and eggs got down to 70° F by the time power came back. That was day 4 or 5. By lockdown, I had weeded out several that had quit early. I didn’t open...

These guys hatched 5/19. I ordered 20 eggs. 10 hatched and 3 were DIS at breakout. Any thoughts on colors?

I’ve not hatched any buttons since maybe 2015, or so, and my last button died in 2020. I have recently ordered 15+ CBBQ eggs from burtonspirogue aviaries and they will be arriving on the 26th! I’m hoping for a good hatch rate, but these are shipped eggs so I’m not sure what to expect (my last...

Good morning everyone. I have two pairs of Diamond doves and one of the hens has been having frequent stools, with yellow liquid. The solid part seems normal. She is also tail bobbing mildly when she breathes. I have a 4-in-1 medication coming, my research seems to suggest it could be...

These two were hatched approx March 9th. They’re hatchery birds from my local feed store. Thoughts on sex? They were sold as sexed pullets.

This one was given to us out of the SLW bin, but they didn’t know what she was. They had only pullets that day. The other breeds that day were supposedly Easter Eggers, Welsummers, Barred Rock, and assorted bantams. Any ideas? I’m leaning toward maybe Easter egger, if they’re right about what...

This is Babycakes, a supposed Dunlap hatchery silver laced Wyandotte. The feed store gave her to us for free since she was doing poorly. She was practically dead, but we gave her pedialyte and nutrical every hour around the clock for the first few days, and then every two hours. At first she...

Sprinkles, barred rock, about 4-5 weeks old. Am I correct in assuming he’s a cockerel?

These two were from a feed store. They were marked as cream legbar pullets. I’m not sure what to make of the light one. Could she be recessive white? They’re about four weeks old. Both have yellow legs, and their little crests are starting to come in.

This is Blackberry. I’m trying to confirm her sex. She’s a feed store chick, so probably an easter egger, right? Or maybe an olive egger? She was labeled as an Ameraucana but that’s probably unlikely. She’s about 4wks old, I think. She does have puffy little cheeks. As a two or three day old...
