treatment help

I hatched this chick in an incubator, but unfortunately, it's unable to stand up or lift its body. I've tried various methods, like taping its fingers to improve grip and keeping its toes in the right position, but it hasn't made any difference. It keeps falling to the ground and struggling to...

Hi all. So I have a 2-year-old Partridge Olive Egger hen who has had chronic diarrhea for at least the last couple of months. It almost comes out in a stream and her vent is almost always dirty. At first I thought that that was just her, but after a little more research, I’m pretty sure she has...
