Please help!!
My 1y/o buff Orpington hen has a really bad wound on her butt. I’m not sure what happened. Her bum has been dirty for a bit and i haven’t been able to clean it because it’s been cold (plus I’m at the end of my pregnancy so everything is harder right now). But last night i noticed...
When I found her, she seemed limp and hurt. Took her from dog, and wrapped her in a warm towel. Brought her inside and checked. No physically bleeding injuries, but it has been a bit and now she is alert, but not holding herself up. She keeps her eyes shut, and mostly is limp. She was breathing...
My hen yesterday at 4pm was found next to the water with their eyes closed and she would after 5 seconds drink more water, I picked her up and water came pouring out as soon as I touched it. It had a disgusting smell after she threw up when I pressed her crop to pick her up. I’m thinking it’s...
hello everyone , i’m currently at a lost at what my chicken might have and how to cure her. Yesterday i went to take everyone out of the coop and found her in a corner with her eye swollen. I brought her inside and cleaned it with saline and left it at that because she did have bubbles coming...

Hi all— I’ve been referencing this form a lot for my newly hatched ducklings, but I haven’t found a definitive answer on this.
I have five, five day old ducklings, and this morning, woke to one not standing like the rest. I immediately tried to make some diy sugar solution and also mashed some...
This morning I went to check my sweet quails. My favorite quail I found with her foot broken off and bleeding.
I immediately brought her in. I put cornstarch on her wound, but it's still bleeding a bit.
The foot is connected to her leg by a very small amount of skin and/or flesh.
What do I do...
I have a flock of 8 australorps and 2 of them now have bloody combs. I believe it is due to bullying by several members of the flock. I took the two victims and separated them from the rest for a night and treated their combs per the instruction of an online vet. I noticed today when I put them...
Photo attached above for reference, this little love is a pure Indian runner, under 48hours old.
Unfortunately she’s hatched with her leg stuck like this.. unsure if it is a fused joint or slipped tendon at this point.. joint is rather stiff, not a whole lot of movement, can very gently stretch...
My 1 yo hen Sol, was being her snuggly mischievous self yesterday. This morning I was dusting the coop in diatomaceous earth and found her in the nesting box. She was standing so I thought she was laying or did lay an egg. She pooped a super smelly, runny, gooey, poop. She is super lethargic and...
Double posting from the quail forum to see if I get more help here.
I have a quail who just hatched yesterday he hatched 1/4 size as the rest I was dumb and incubated a tiny egg now he’s just been screaming his head off no idea why he’s staggering around like he’s drunk and he I guess chooses...
** Update: she was standing and eating this morning!**
Hi! I have a 1 year and 3 month old Lavender Orpington named Priscilla.
Yesterday she had a soft shelled white membrane hanging from her vent. Soaked her in warm Epsom and it came right out. She was free ranging with her sisters, but...
I have a hen who looked healthy but hasn’t eaten too much. She’s six years old. This morning I found a soft shelled egg (that the chickens already devoured) with this bloody stuff in it. I have gotten soft shells before, just not like this. She still eats some treats and applesauce. I gave her...
One of my quarantined sickies keeps sneezing, and a few of the healthy chicks are occasionally sneezing as well.
One in particular is sneezing a whole lot, nearly every 30 seconds or less, and I'm worried she's not able to breathe properly. I've given her VetRX but that is all I have available...
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST BUT ITS URGENT. NEED HELP. So, I had a hen who had an egg break inside of her last week and took her to the vet. He gave me antibiotics to give for 3 weeks and meloxicam to give for 5 days. The meloxicam was up Monday. My mom had passed away so I couldn't keep her...
I am on day 24 and there is one egg left that has not hatched yet. I candled it a couple of times and it looked like it was in the air cell, but since it wasn't hatching, I made a safety hole early on day 23. This morning, my mom decided that she should have hatched by now, and took the egg out...
So i have 3 chicks and one has been having slightly odd poops and seems sick. It had really light tan poops and now just had really bad diarrhea with some mucus on my hand. They are on unmedicated feed and im concerned about coccidiosis. I can pick up meds tomorrow but im not even sure if thats...

She was fine Saturday but seemed off yesterday evening and then passed suddenly today

I’m first time owner of small flock of 7,
I think my rooster might have coccidiosis.
My rooster is looking really weak lately, he’s not really lethargic but he looks very weak, he can barely support his weight, his legs are shaking, walks around like drunk, little confused and has very watery...
