    Mucus in beak??

    I have a hen who has mucus in her beak. She has no sores or patches in her mouth, no obstructions, no mites on her body. She’s quite lethargic.

    Wet Feed

    Treating my rooster for an illness. He wouldn't eat anything, just kept going through water like a fish. So, I took some crumble and mixed it with water until it was mush. I made about half a cup total. Question is, how long can I keep that half cup of water/crumble mixture in front of him...

    I have a 2.5 month old turkey who's been acting sick these last couple of days. Hunched over/droopiness, ruffled feathers, pale, definitely weak and not as active as usual, some weight loss (from loss of appetite), and this weird green diarrhea.

    Groggy chick. Need help!

    So, we hatched a bunch of eggs on October 30th and 31st, and one of them, who might be half golden laced wyandotte, has been acting groggy lately. He stands kind of huddled and fluffy up, he stays by himself sometimes, when I give water to him he won't drink. He also wobbles when he walks, and...

    What is killing my hens? Two died, a third one seems about to.

    Hi. Sorry, this is probably going to be a really long and complicated case. If you find it too long to read, please tell me and I'll shorten it. I adopted 3 hens from my neighbour, about a month ago. Two of them died, in circumstances I'll detail later. In total, I have 7 hens. I had 9 before...

    Fowl pox in chick 12-16 weeks old; vaccines/treatment?

    Hello, I have a happy, seemingly healthy young chick born mid April. She showed a few black spots on her comb. One quickly became inflamed and scabbed over. Now she has one on her eye and one on her chest. They get bigger daily. Is this fowl pox? If so, do I just use the sprays or vaccinate? If...
