I got 5 quail in the usps mail about 10 days ago. All appeared healthy. I made a cage of pvc frame/ 1/2" chicken wire. All males, I think bobwhite. One had blood on his back leg. I removed him. He died overnight . Another day, another bloody leg. Foot fine, knee and thigh not. This has...
Hello, I Have a have a Guinea keet that I got almost a week ago and has had constant pasty butt and also has a strange “growth” like thing near its vent. I soak and clean the keet up many times a day and it has seemed healthy but today it definitely looks weaker and I really don’t know what this...
My chicken has been doing this yawning type motion very very regularly for around (every few minutes and then usually shakes her head directly after the “yawn”. Nobody else is yawning in the flock, but one other bird has a runny nose. She has been normal until recently she started to become...
This has been going on since May. For nearly two months my chickens have been dropping like flies. At first it was coccidia, but the deaths I always saw coming. Chickens were weak, super thin, and died within hours of these symptoms.
But somewhere in that turmoil, something else began killing...
I have a broody hen that did a really nice job hatching out and raising a few chicks early last fall. This spring she was sitting on a few eggs then left and started sitting on eggs on another nest. The eggs she abandoned had partially developed dead chicks when we opened them. Today she of...

Okay. Hopefully you are able to understand me in this post.

One of my baby silkies has stopped eating and drinking, is smaller than the rest and is now not standing up and just making a weird clicking noise when breathing. I have tried to give water and nothing is working! She is about 3 weeks old.
I bought a pair of gouldian finches from a very well know avairy shop with 5 stars and always good reviews. After 2 days i came out and saw one of the finches dead on the ground. The shop gave me anothet gouldian as a refund, and now just then i see the older finch i got dead to. No other of my...
In the past 2 months I have lost my 3 oldest chickens, all 4-5 years old. They all get to moving very slow, look "COLD," keep their necks/head tucked in, walk around real slow. They do eat and drink, but eventually they end up having to be put down because they have nasty poop all over their...
Hello! I have an Americauna rooster. He has been acting strange for the past 3 days. We think he's suffering from dry fowl pox, but we are unsure of how to treat it. He's been sleeping in the corner of my horse's barn. He hasn't come out to eat, but when i bring food to him, he will. Just this...

Hello everyone, I am desperately seeking help for my girls. I inquired at a few local vets offices and it seems the nearest Poultry vet is about 2 hours away from us. I have three hens in a coop and two in another. The two are new and I bought them from a flea market. They showed no signs of...
i received chicks through mail for the first time and I've had them for abt three days but one of my silkie chicks had been lethargic since we got her, at first she seemed normal, she slept a lot but I saw her eat and drink just fine then sleep again. By second day she was wobbling on one foot...
Good morning everyone,
This is long and detailed so please bear with me. We've had chickens for the past three years. We lived in town at first, but were allowed to have them in our yard. We got 4 to start as chicks, they were free range, grew healthy and laid with no issues. When we moved from...
My speckled Sussex has had a large crop for probably 2 weeks, and with this being my first time with chickens, I thought she just liked to gorge herself on food. She kept doing the weird head/neck movements and I thought she was just trying to get her food to go down (I was wrong). So I finally...
This is...well...a bit of a rant post on top of maybe some suggestions as to what I can do. I made two orders of poultry, tallying 110 straightrun (and one rooster), so 111 chicks altogether, between Ideal Hatchery and Welp Hatchery. They both shipped Wednesday this past week, and...
