I have an Ayam Cemani chick that is only a few days old, seems to be in perfect health, eating, drinking, pooping, but then will start to chirp in distress and collapse, itching frantically at her eyes and ears until she passes out from exhaustion. I have given her nutridench, chick...
Hello, we have a few roosters in our flock (accidentally) but we love them so we have separate enclosures. One single rooster fights gladiator style with everyone else so he lives in this cottage on property we turned into his coop. We let him hang out outside when we are home and he just walks...
Hi y'all! Yesterday I was at the local feedstore and noticed these 3 were separated from the rest of the chicks. The black one is always looking down (maybe a neck deformity?), one orange chick has a slightly misaligned beak and a malformed left eye, the other orange one has a very crossed beak...
Hi everyone,

I have a cream legbar pullet whose eyes look… odd. She’s absolutely healthy, preening, scratching, pooping, eating, drinking, etc.

Hi, I was holding my drake silver Appleyard today and noticed that his eyes look different. The area around his eye on one side is reddish/white and the other side is brown. Is something wrong with one of them? Which eye is normal? Thanks
My guard goose has some type of eye issue. Cloudy discharge and weak looking eyes. He was also very grumpy with his chickens and sleeping more. I've used homeopathic pink eye drops for the last 1 and a half days and it seems to have helped with him being more himself and clearer eyes. But his...
