    Chick emergency!

    I have a chick that's about 2 days old. She can't stand up and she just face-plants and scoots around. The other chicks were trampling her so we took her inside with a heat lamp. She can walk, but only with assistance. She also won't eat or drink by herself, we put a little bit of yolk or water...

    Peacock can not stand. Please help!!

    A few weeks ago I notice my almost 3 year old peacock limping. He free ranges so I planned to check on him later that evening when I would be able to catch him. All I could tell was he had a small scrape on his "hock" area and seeing Peas heal quickly I was not too concerned. By the next day he...

    Quail hen won't stand or drink, listless

    This afternoon I found our little quail Ozzy laying down, fluffed, eyes closed, listless. She had an egg stuck to her tummy feathers; apparently she laid it, but was unable to stand enough to get away from it, so it dried to her. She allowed us to pick her up (unusual for her, shows how ill she...
