    Cuddling, piling, hot or cold??

    I have 7 week old chicks, we live in Maine and the temps outside are now around 50-60 degrees F during the day and around 40 degrees F at night. Is this a safe temp to move them outside?

    Unsure what’s up with our hen…

    Hey all!! I made a post a little while back about my hen having worms. We treated for worms and she seemed to be getting better!! We did the dose each day for 5 days and then we did one more at the 14 day mark just to make sure we got everything. Worms were never present in poo. Now she is...

    Safeguard Fenbendazole Dewormer Liquid Dose??

    I recently got my chicken’s fecal float test back from our vet and she has 2 types of worms, they recommended this for deworming and I have seen it posted in groups.

    Respiratory or Gapeworm?

    I have a chicken that was almost gasping for air last night for around 10 minutes. I brought her inside, she ate a scrambled egg and seemed to be okay after that. I am worried that it’s a respiratory infection, I looked down her throat and could not see any worms. Unsure of what to do and what...

    Chicken sick?

    Hi all!! I have a hen, she is about 3 years old. I noticed she is standing around outside but not moving around a whole lot. She’s standing, I go over and she is alert and runs away from me when I go over which is typical for her. She’s not mean, but none of my chicks love being picked up as it...

    Bumblefoot

    My 1 year old jumbo pekin has a black scab, possibly Bumblefoot, on the bottom of her foot and some swelling around the top/ankle. She is babying the foot immensely and prefers to sit or lay down and she is picking up the foot and tucking it under her wing. I know it’s very very sore as we have...

    Bumblefoot treatment

    My duck has been walking normally up until yesterday when I noticed she was limping quite harshly. It definitely appears she has Bumblefoot, she has the black scab on the bottom foot pad.

    Molting?

    Hi!! My two oldest ducks (about 1.5 - 2 years old) appear to be possibly molting. It is the beginning prime summer time where I live (Maine) and it’s starting to get very hot out daily. I’m unsure if it is molting or if they are sick. They are acting normal, eating and drinking, their poop looks...

    Weird looking bill, unsure if it’s infection or just injury from foraging around the yard (sticks, branches, rocks)

    Hey all, my duck’s bill seems to be looking rather interesting. I looked at it up close and have wiped it with warm water and dawn to remove any debris. She has water deep enough to clean her nostrils, food and water given daily. I did remove piece of debris last night that was hard and sort of...
