Hello, I am pretty sure we just brought home a duckling that has wry neck. Any suggestions? It constantly stares up and falls over backwards. We had this in a chicken once that we fixed, but we are pretty new to ducks.

Hi! So today we got our first ducks! We have lots of chickens (almost 80) and we have 7 guineas, but ducks are a first to us! We got three babies. One khaki campbell, one mallard, and one of what we believe is either a Swedish blue, or a blue runner duck. So if anyone has any information...

One of our Svart Hona hens eyes within the last couple days appear to be getting a grey film over them. Like it almost looks like blindness, but she can see, at least for right now. I've read about this possibly being Marek's or Leukosis. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of anything else it...

Does anyone have any info or ideas for how to cure thrush? I think we may be dealing with it in a baby chick. I posted on here the other day asking if there was a tumor in our baby chick’s mouth... after further researcher I decided I thought it was canker. However, for days more yellow gunk...

This Chick is just about 1 week old. Our broody hen hatched it. We noticed since it hatched that it’s been stretching it’s mouth a lot, which is more noticeable when it drinks water. Right now it actually seems like it’s breathing from its mouth. Since we were just watching it, we noticed...

We have a broody sex link currently hatching out guinea keets. There is a full waterer full of electrolyte water right in front of her that she and the keets have access to. She will not drink. We hold the waterer up to her beak, she still won't drink it. So, we got a dropper and filled that...

Some of you may remember back in October, one of my silkie hens had a prolapse. Well, two days ago I noticed for the first time since then that she had a prolapse again. I gave her a warm bath with coilloidal silver, put it back in like 6 times, cleaned it with vetricyn each time, and then...

We are thinking about setting a broody hen on some chicken eggs within the next week, but we also want to hatch some guinea eggs- would it be ok to put the guinea eggs under her too, or should we try to get a guinea hen to go broody too? Have any of you ever hatched guinea eggs under a chicken?

An Australorp rooster in Western PA needs to be rehomed by tomorrow, or he will be killed. I know lots of people eat their chickens and that's their way of doing things. We need to eat, I get that. Personally, I do not want to eat my chickens. That's for each person to decide. This rooster...

Hi! I know this may be a long shot, and I would have never thought of this before hatching out chicken eggs. I just found yesterday a perfect robin egg under our maple tree. It doesn’t have any cracks or anything. Is there a way to incubate it? Before I would’ve just thought “cool a robin...

I cracked this egg into a pan and noticed there was something weird in it. It is from our Blue Copper Marans hen, who has been laying extremely light colored eggs that are very odd shaped lately. This thing was covered in what appears to be tiny blood spots, and it is hard almost like cartilage...

Hello! I realized a couple of months back (in November, I think) that one of my silkie hens had a swollen abdomen. Like, very swollen. You touch it and it feels like it must be full of water or something; it definitely didn't seem "normal" at the time. I thought she either must have been...

Hi, So one of my silkies has been acting odd today, it is the same silkie that had a prolapse back in October. She is a little over a year old. She's mainly been standing/huddling in the corner acting like she doesn't feel well (we saw her do plenty of this while recovering from her prolapse)...

:celebrateSooo after our venture to get girl bantams this year for our little roosters, we have a TON of little baby banties!!! :love Especially after we said we were only getting four and the evil (but awesome) lady at our TSC threw in 7 extras as “rescues”! LOL We know what most of them are...

I started a thread just asking about one chick, and I didn’t post pictures, and then realized I don’t know for sure what they are except for the silkie and OEGB. Ok so we have a silkie, one of what we believe is a silver duckwing old English bantam, one of what we believe is a black-tailed...

Hello! Chick days are back at Tractor Supply! *does little happy dance* We just got 6 bantams-- 1 silkie, 2 mille fleur d'uccles, 1 silver duckwing old English game bantam, 1 of what we think is a white Japanese bantam, and one that we aren't entirely sure about. The one we aren't entirely...

Hi! I am curious to know if any of you have any information and/or experience with veterinary acupuncture for chickens.... particularly with seizures in chickens. As some of you may of seen in one of my threads last night, we have a Svart pullet having seizures with wry neck as a symptom. I...

I just went out the the brooder to give our chicks water. This svart hen is about 2 1/2 months old. She was laying in the box away from the other chicks, and she got up and got a sip of water after having a very white runny poop. I thought she was just itching herself but she appears to be...

This is another courtesy post for a relative. Her problems here started with frostbite, but there seems there has to be something else going on. Our roosters have frostbite but they do NOT look like this. As in, the flaky face and flaky skin, and pale waddles. Aside from the obvious frostbite...
