Baby turkey (about 1 week?) was unfortunately placed with ducklings and received a leg injury. He was promptly removed and placed in a separate box. At the beginning, he balanced on one leg, and held the other up with toes curled. I put cardboard on his toes to straighten them out, and Internet...

My dog just attacked one of my chickens... I've been crying all night lol. I love my animals so much, I know many of you understand this! He's a LG Dog (puppy) just under 5 months old and is 50+lbs so we've been training him and working with him every single day, all day. We just put a bunch of...

Our second little flock of 3 silkies (4-ish months) have shared a large yard with our original flock of 8 mostly standards (10 months: 7 girls 1 roo) The younger silkies spend days outside in pen area, deliberately not secure as I hoped they’d start adventuring out a bit. That also means the...

One of our hyline brown hens has had their leg injured. I can’t see anything external but she is definitely in pain and is limping, and will usually lie down instead of standing. We don’t want to take her to the vet because of the cost, but is there any way to help her leg at home?

Hey everyone! I have spent the last ten days dealing with what I thought was vent gleet and caked on feathers.
