    Mysterious Mauling

    So, I'm a college student and this previous week was the first week of the fall semester. I didn't check in on my chickens yesterday because I had work until 5 and then went to the library to study. I didn't think much of it, my chickens had plenty of food and water, and it wasn't a big deal...

I've checked the foot and leg twice now and I know it's not Bumblefoot, there's no injury in sight but the ankle feels a bit swollen compared to the other leg/ankle.

First and third are the same duck. There are 4 runner ducks holding their necks like this. I assume a raccoon was trying to...

    Walking/leg issues. Injury? Merek's?

    For the past couple of days I thought my 10 month old Olive Egger was on the verge of going broody as she was sitting in the nest boxes for longer than usual each day just like all my other broody's have before sticking with it. Last night she roosted on the floor next to a very low roost where...

    Duck hurt won’t eat

    one of my two ducklings was recently injured by a pet. No bites or deep cuts but more of a blunt injury situation. Checked her over and she’s got no broken bones and can walk,chirp, breathe, and drink water. However she doesn’t have much interest in her feed. I tried pulverizing some and mixing...

    Crooked / Wry Neck

    Hi all, about 7 weeks ago, one of my hens was attacked by dogs. Her external injuries healed really well and after a couple of weeks I put her back in the flock, but a day or two later I noticed she developed a crooked neck (I presume from her injuries during hte attack). I've been treating...

    Turkey fumble. Life or Death?

    Hi there. 2 days ago there was a knock on my door. It ended up being some workman tree cutters trimming the trees on the ranch where I live. They said that there was a small turkey dying out by one of their ladders. Apparently it had a broken leg and the other turkeys were pecking it to death...
