    Bloody Mucus

    Hi all, Is coughing up bloody mucus always ILT, or could there be other reasons? One of my bantams had a goopy eye a few days ago, which I assumed was MG and treated it as such. Today I saw a little bit of bloody mucus and two of my other bantams are coughing. I have the flock separated...

    Partridge Silkie

    Hi everyone! I normally wouldn’t ask this early but I heard Partridge is like the only color that can be used to sex silkies. This is Kiwi. Kiwi is only about five weeks old, but I don’t see black on its chest so I’m leaning girl? Maybe? Too early?

    Chicken with possible head injury?

    Hi everyone, I have a weird one - I have a teeny tiny kikiriki hen who is acting very oddly. It seems like she has a head injury, but I have no idea how. She presented a little while ago with one squinty eye. I assumed she got something in it, or was being bullied, and made sure she ate and...

    Lethargic Call Duck

    Hi all, I’m very new to ducks - I’ve only had my two calls for approximately 6 months, so I’m still learning. I have a hen and a drake. They are confined in a 60 sq ft pen, and do not free range. I have chickens, but they do not interact. The ducks eat Kalmbach duck and goose pellets...

    Umbilical Hernia on chick - anything to do?

    Hello, I had a teeny little d’uccle chick hatch tonight, and it has what I can only assume is an umbilical hernia. Is there anything I can do here? I lost a chick a week ago to a burst hernia, and I really don’t want it to happen again. It’s still in the incubator with its sibling (a...

    Depressed hen with hugely swollen eye

    I have a small kikiriki hen that has a HUGELY swollen eye. I’ve been trying to treat it for a long time now - about a month or so. At first she was acting normally, but at this point she’s not acting right. I’ve tried two different antibiotics (Enrofloxacin and Doxycycline), and tetramycin...

    Treating lice in the winter

    Hi all, I have a small lice issue - as far as I can tell it seems to only be affecting two of my roosters, but obviously I will treat the whole flock. My issue is, it’s cold outside - I live in New England, and it is currently around freezing to slightly below. I have Elector PSP, but...

    Rooster with seborrhea

    Hi all, My little Serama roo recently presented with a rash on his head/neck. He’s indoors for the winter, but does live outside in summer. He’s on wood pellets right now, but was on pine shavings prior to this. I noticed the loss of feathers awhile back, but thought it was the girls going at...

    Fowl Cholera or just bad bullying?

    Hi all, I have a girl who was going through a bad molt awhile ago, and noticed her pin feathers were being picked out. I tried to bring her inside but she freaked out so I left her with the flock hoping things would settle. Apparently they did not. I checked her today and she has a huge...

    Molting Issues

    Hi all! I have a 1.5 year old jersey giant who is going through a rough molt. She lost all her feathers and was growing in new ones except now they’re gone. I honestly don’t know what happened there (the other chickens picking on her?), but I’m really concerned. The good news is that she...

    Call Duck Drake with Chickens

    Hi all, I made a impulse decision and bought a call duck pair (one hen and one drake). My main questions is, can they live with standard size chickens? Will the drake inadvertently kill the chickens trying to mate? I'm leaning on the safe side and just building them a separate coop, but just...

    Hen with liquid diarrhea no other symptoms

    Hi all, It’s been awhile since I had a sick chicken so I just want to make sure I’m doing all I can here. I have a year old Salmon Faverolle hen that had a tough molt. She was being picked on and had some mildly bloody feathers from that. As a result she was not wanting to go in the coop at...

    Escaped chicks! Help!

    Hi all, I just got two 8 week old chicks, and brought them home. Within 15 minutes as I went to give them food, they flew out and escaped. I cannot find them. Is this hopeless? Will they stick around the area since I have other chickens? Is there anything I can do? Obviously I am devastated.

    Lice treatment question

    Hi all, I just noticed one of my roosters has a pretty heavy lice load (possibly mites too, it was hard to see but there were definitely tiny little bugs with the lice - immature lice maybe), and I want to treat him (and everyone else) ASAP. From what I can tell I have two options: permethrin...

    Chick with twisted hip/leg

    Hi everyone, As I am apparently a magnet for disabled chickens, I was given a little Easter egger chick with a badly twisted leg. At first I thought it was a simple splay leg, but now I’m thinking it’s a malformation of her hip joint. As of right now she is 2.5 weeks old. She gets around...

    Congenital torticollis getting worse

    Hi all, I have a weird little Serama named Nemo who hatched out with a mild congenital torticollis. He’s always had a head tilt (to his right), and his right side is messed up (tiny wing, etc). I’m pretty sure he’s a chimera, but that’s besides the point. He’s always been small, but healthy...

    Swedish flower hen or roo?

    Pretty sure I know the answer already, but just to confirm! They’re approximately five months old. Here they are with their two obviously hen buddies (black and white is my owlbeard and the grey/brown is a whiting true blue):

    Wobbly Chick - what to do??

    Hi everyone, I swear, I love keeping chickens but man is it stressful. My newest issue is a little chick who is super wobbly. Here’s the details: Chick was hatched around May 20th, so she is about 5 weeks old. She is a golden d’uccle with a porcelain d’uccle buddy. I bought them from a feed...

    Please help - my rooster is fading away

    Hi all, I have 1.5 year old Serama rooster who is not doing well. It started back in early May when I noticed he had green diarrhea. Over the past month his crow has gotten weaker and weaker, his poop more and more liquidy, and now he’s basically not eating. I’ve taken him to the vet and he’s...

    Sour Crop antifungal dosage for Serama

    Hi all, I have a 4 month old Serama hen that started acting off last night. I didn't realize something was actually wrong until this afternoon though. She has some pretty classic sour crop signs (large squishy crop, yellow liquid discharge from mouth - it doesn't smell though - I hope that's...
