    Gander with an infection? Help appreciated!

    Hi everyone! My 5-yr-old Sebastopol gander started acting sick yesterday. All he wanted to do was stand in front of his water bucket and drink. As far as I know, he didn't eat anything yesterday. (He's been pooping only water.) He could walk, but was pretty unsteady. Got into (and out of) the...

    Respiratory issue with a chicken.

    hey all. I have an old barred rock hen who we really love. Her name is Chick-choo. She's done laying, probably five years old, but she's really sweet. It's spring here, and we've let our chickens out in the yard, and we noticed Chick-choo listless and gasping for air. Her comb appeared to be...

    Bobcat attack

    Our orpington Brown chick was attacked by a bobcat last night. Its miraculous that she lived- I don’t think I’ve ever prayed for a chicken but I did last night! Her breathing was so labored I thought her lungs were filling with blood- but this morning- aside from seeming pretty traumatized-she...

    Help with duck with abscess

    last spring I got several khaki Campbells. Late summer I got a Muscovy drake from a lady and introduced him to the ducks. Until recently (3wks ago) he showed no real interest in them. Now he is mounting them repeatedly to the point that the back of one of the duck’s head started to swell. I’ve...

    Injured eye on hen, please help!

    I just checked on my hens and peafowl, who have been with a friend of mine in their chicken coop, and infuriated to find that one of my hens, Thelma, has a big problem with her eyes. They are both swollen, one much more than the other, and the right eye is almost completely shut, oozing with...

    I dug at this growth... what is this, what should I do?!

    (1.5 weeks ago) I found this "something" on my 2.5 year old chicken's tail next to the oil gland and at first thought it was a tick but it's under the skin and slightly exposed. It's very hard and you can tell it's larger under the skin (like a small iceberg). Any thoughts on what the heck it is...

    Hen With Foot Growth (not bumble foot)

    Hey, I wanted to hop on here and see if anyone could help me figure out what is going on with my hen. She is maybe 2 years old short and stout. We recently built a new coop for our hens but they haven't been using it as they have gotten in the habit of sleeping outside. It's just gotten cold...

    Help! My duck is unwell! Can’t walk and won’t eat.

    One night I discovered one of my drake, Riddick, couldn’t walk very well so I assumed he had sprained a leg and put him in his pool for some physio and rest. After putting them to bed, the next morning he couldn’t walk at all!! We took him to the vets and she gave him antibiotics (baytril) and...

    hello fellow chicken lovers :) it’s been a while since I posted. My flock has been fantastic, although laying has been inconsistent because of extreme heat here in Aus.

    Rooster Comb Injury

    It started with a little frostbite. We had a bad rain and wind storm on a 60 degree day, and that turned into a 15 degree night. My rooster, Jamie, suffered a bit of frostbite on the tips of his comb. Not a huge deal. Fast forward a week later and the center tip of his comb is bloody and just...

    First time bumblefoot surgery success!

    Well I had a chicken, Aretha, that had bumblefoot that I just noticed today. It was a fairly large scab, so I operated. I had my mother hold her in a towel and keep her head covered while I worked on her foot. Aretha, for the most part, was very calm during surgery. While I'm sure it still hurt...
