Hello,
We we were checking in on our hens yesterday, and noticed this gash/abscess/sore on our lovely lady.
There was never any evidence of blood, so I suspect it comes from the inside out but am not entirely sure how to proceed.
She does not appear to be in any pain and is exhibiting no other...
I have a week old turkey poult who I believe is blocked up. They aren't doing good. They've been crying a lot almost constantly for 2 days. I assumed it was because it was imprinted, and was just crying bc it missed me. I thought something might be wrong but I was afraid if I asked I'd just get...
I have a peafowl chick who is not eating and has steadily been getting worse over the last several hours. They have a heat lamp and clean water and game fowl starter. The other two are drinking and eating plenty, but this one is under half their weight and barley is able to stand. I have been...
Hello, I have a duck that has been attacked by something a few days ago on his wing and it seems to be rotting. It smells and I recently brought him inside today and cleaned it with iodine and put neosporin on it. Does anyone know how I could fix it? I can also see some of his bone(or maybe it...
I have a 3 day blue Swedish female duckling that has a prolapse vent. I’ve tried sugar and preparation H but it keeps coming back out after awhile. Anything I can do to keep it in? All the vets around us are out for the holiday. I’ve taken her away from her siblings which she’s very upset about...
We have a broody chicken who we are hoping to be able to use to raise some chicks. We haven't ordered the chicks yet as we hope to first move her to a dog crate on the ground where it's safer for her and the chicks. Last night we tried moving her, however, this morning when we went to check on...
Hi my 3 months old cock pants in the summer heat but yawns a lot under the fan, but when i hand fan him with paper he stays cool what to do?(sorry for bad grammar)
So there was this guy selling muscovies on Craigslist and today we went to go get some. $15 a piece when they're typically only around $5 here. So we get there and go to the guys backyard and well let me just say what I saw broke my heart. Their living area is so so awful. It's very dirty. Their...
My gosling started to flip over puke up water nd seizure yesterday and is now completely better. The new one is a muscovy and he started to flip over and puke up a whole crop of water a few minutes ago, he is also getting better. What is this? Did they drink too much? I've had this happen before...
She's currently my my only egger chick, and my only seemingly troubled hatch (out of a hatch of 12/18 if she hatches & survives). The incubator temp is 99% and humidity is 60%. She pipped about 30-31 hours ago, but we're going on 24+ with the zip line and half crack away. The exposed membrane...
So I don't know if this is where to post this, but it is a chick and it doesn't fit squarely into any other category.
I found a baby bird on my patio. It's not a chicken, I'm not sure what sort it is. It probably fell from the broken light that birds have tried to make nests for in the past...
Help! My duck egg is on day 30 and it’s externally pipped. I can see it’s beak. It’s been almost 40 hours since the initial external pip, but he is hatching slow and steady until I went to check earlier and he wasn’t making any noise! I’m so worried! I’ve been checking the other eggs for...
Can anyone please advise: I found a hen laying in the nest box this morning; head down, eyes closed, wings droopy, tail ruffled and partially up. She just let me pick her up, never opened her eyes so I separated her from the flock, she is laying in the cage just the same and breathing seems...
One of my hens who I’ve been treating for a small wound has suddenly developed a purple looking comb and is uncomfortable when I pick her up.
I’ve had her in my Avery for a couple weeks just cleaning and looking after the small wound, it’s finally healed up and there’s only a tiny scar of where...
I have a sapphire splash, big and healthy who suddenly fell ill tonight. She is very lethargic, unable to walk, salivating. There is a goo coming from her vent. She has labored breathing. I have no clue how to help her or what to do. Any ideas??
