I went out to sit with my chickens Saturday afternoon, my lap hen, Bandit jumped up to sit on my lap as she usually does. After she was done, she got down and it looked like her chest was puffed out - not quite penguin stance, but like something wasn't right. It was about 4pm. I decided I would...

Hi everyone. A few hours ago, a family member found a raven lying in a driveway. It was apathetic and didn’t seem to be able to lift its head. I ended up with it for the night. He can fly, although not for a long distance. Both legs are moving but one seems to be having muscle spasms. He...

My broody hen hatched out a few chicks so far and we are about half way through the hatch day. So far, 4 out of 12 hatched with 3 more pipped. All are healthy but one. The area around its ear is all missing. It looks like the skin may have been cut and peeled, but I can’t be sure. The hen...

I have a hen that was given to me by a friend because she was a wanderer and always getting into trouble. We allowed her to live with us because we have a free ranch farm and she would be more in her environment. That was about 2 years ago, and now, she is probably around 6-8 years old. She has...

Hey all, I found a chicken on the side of the road in a ditch while I was walking my weiner dog. We both thought she was a dead animal but she was still alive. So i ran back to my house and got my car and grabbed her. The first day I gave her a bath and didn’t see anything but a small puncture...

I have a chicken with a severely deformed neck. Issue presented itself about 4 days ago and all I've been able to think and do is isolate, give her asprin and soak her food...she looks to be in severe pain and I don't have any idea what is wrong with her. Would it be a broken neck? She doesn't...

Hello, I have a chick about a week old and I am treating his crooked leg. He won't eat pellets so I've been feeding him egg yolk mixed with water. He's real talkative and eats the mixture own his own, so I thought he was getting better. Well, when I came to visit him he had a real thick yolk...

Hi! I have a 11 week old silkie that is pooping blood. I’m pretty sure it’s cocci for the obvious reasons, but wanting to make sure I’m treating correctly. She’s acting totally normal,not puffed up or hiding, she’s scratching around with everyone else. I just found some in the coop this...

Just had a quail chick hatch that needs separation from the others, and I'm not sure what to do in terms of heating. The only two heat lamps I have are either way too hot or too cold. Does anyone know how I could cool down the hot one or what else I can get? I can't afford another heating plate...

It's still warm, I've been massaging it to give back circulation. I've got the wire out unfortunately I'm not able to post any videos or pictures. The nearest vet that could help me is an hour away and I can't make the trip. She's acting fine and has some mobility in the wing, as she pulled it...
