Hello. The left eye of my female Peking duck, seen in the photos about 2 weeks ago, was closed when I woke up in the morning. When I looked, it was pulled into the eye, but no damage was visible. (I don't know if he pecked my chickens or got garbage in his eyes, they stay in the coop with the...

Our flock of 4 ducks was taken down to 3 this morning. Our sweet welsh harlequin Moa seemingly succumbed to duck viral enteritis (DVE). I'm super worried about my other 3 ducks as they share all the same water and food, and DVE is contagious. Although google says there is no cure for DVE once...

Hello! My hens(2 OEGBs) are healthy and don't show any signs of illness. However, I've just learned that I should be deworming them regularly for prevention of infestation. They are nearly a year old and have never had any treatments whatsoever. I've started my research but I'm pretty confused...

Im currently treating my chicken from coryza and I have water soluble powder of Sulfamethoxazole Trimethoprim and Tylosin with Amoxicillin. Is it safe to mix them in 1 gallon water?? I couldn’t find any information about this. Thank you so much.

I have one quail chick that looks like it has dried poop stuck to the tip of one toe. I tried to carefully break it off but it is very hard, and seemed to be causing the bird distress. Now, it is walking fine, but it looked like there was some blood underneath it, so I am thinking now it injured...

Hello all! Firstly thank you for your time! Can you all tell me the best internal parasite treatment you guys have used? I’m looking for the safest and that obviously works! Any thoughts on Panacur? My vet recommended this but as the bottle doesn’t say for chickens I wanted to see if anyone...

One of our little silkies started sneezing about a week ago. Didn’t think much of it cause it was infrequent. Now she’s sneezing constantly. Other than the sneezing she’s fine - eating, drinking, foraging, no ocular or nasal discharge. She also seems to be the only member of the flock displaying...

Hi, So the past week or several days or so I have found bites on my body which I am positive are poultry mites from my chickens. Dealt with mites before last year summer and got rid of em with permethrin powder but now they are back. The permethrin works but it is a hassle to apply to the...

My most spunky chicken, a 5 year old, recently stopped perching, then had trouble walking and upon examining - I found a growth - for lack of a better word. It’s between her body and right leg. It’s hard to the touch and ranges from dark brown to yellow. She’s now on antibiotics, pain killers...

I have a chicken who has been struggling for weeks. I recently made a post about her, but her symptoms are: weakness in legs, light crop, mucus/drainage from nose, and struggle balancing. We debated just putting her down but she is still very responsive and we hate to if we don’t have to. The...

Help!!! My Rhode Island Red Bantam has sour crop. How can I help her? Will it go away on its own? I noticed that she was being really sad today (not eating, standing/sitting around, etc) and I felt that her crop was really squishy and fluid-like. Earlier she threw up a little bit of yellowish...
