    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. She drinks water but seems like she’s struggling to swallow, attempts to eat but almost looks like she’s choking on it, she appears to be losing weight...

    Abnormal looking stool

    I have seen many odd chicken poops over the past few years, but this is a new one for me. The multiple grit pieces caught my attention first. I then “dissected” it and saw what appeared to be grass. That’s strange because we haven’t been able to see it for a couple weeks now! I have given them...

    Cedar needles

    I have cedar trees near the coop, is it bad if the needles get in the water for the chickens? I could rig something up to stop it, but wasn’t sure if it was bad for them.

    Hello everyone! I have a little self blue cochin chick that I bought from one of my personal favorite hatcheries, Ideal Poultry.

    Do I need to take my rabbit to the vet?

    Hey, I am almost entirely positive that my three-year-old giant angora rabbit has Weepy-Eye. He has been lethargic, and has refused to eat anything that isn't sugary other than alfalfa pellets. I checked his teeth and gums; they all look great. His nose isn't runny and looks good. But his eyes...

    I think my Rabbit is sick

    Hey, can anyone help me determine whether or not I should take my rabbit to the vet? He is a three-year-old Giant Angora named Wimmy, and I've had him for almost a year. He hasn't been super active in the first place, but I have hardly seen him out of a laying position. I haven't seen him eating...

    Help! Hen is sick/dying

    When I got up this morning to let out my chickens, I found one on the floor not being able to move. I brought her in immediately and tried to find out what was wrong. I don’t think she’s egg bound because she just pooped a few minutes ago. And I don’t think it’s bumblefoot stopping her from...

    Antibiotics - treat, pause, then treat again?

    I've got one chicken who has been sluggish for the last few months. A month ago I gave her Clavamox pills for 5 days and she got slightly better (maybe coincidence). Can I give her another 5-7 day treatment?

    Maybe 3-4 days ago this chicken had signs of waterbelly. We drained some fluid out and she was doing better. Eager to be out with her friends, so I put her back on this morning. Now she's mostly sitting again and moves a bit gingerly. Legs seem like they're sticking out a bit, but maybe that's...
