My rooster is wobbling, tries to walk but stumbles, laid down with his feet in awkward position - mostly under but not Al the way and his wattle is dark purple on top and when he was laying down he just started closing his eyes. I thought he was dying- maybe is 😢 I went in to get some warm water...

Need some help for a young pullet who has recently lost her ability to walk and is stumbling. I brought home three approx. 8 week old pullets about 2 months ago, I noticed they had blood in their poop so my mind jumped to cocci and I started them on a Corid treatment for a week, then the next...

Hi there, I have 5 Rouen ducks, about 9 months old. They are fed Purina Flock Raiser and they have plenty of water all day. Today I noticed one of them stumbling, like a see saw, forward and backward. She’s eating and drinking normally and moving around a lot. I’ve attached a video. Any ideas...

I have a pair of female coturnix quail, approaching 5 months old now. Yesterday morning I noticed one seemed to be struggling to walk. It seemed to stumble sideways to the right, and then fall over. It then got up, walked a bit and did the same, but braced itself against the wall. Then went...

I have a 4 month old silkie pullet. A few days ago, she was laying around more than usual and when she walked, she walked low to the ground. The next day, when she tried to walk, she stumbled backwards and fell on her face. She can't stand up or even hold herself upright while laying down. She...

I have two 6 week old polish chicks and when I went to check on them, I noticed one of them wasn't acting right.
