So my poor Poppy girl has something going on with her eye. I noticed it a couple days ago and finally took a picture of it tonight to post. No redness or swelling, she is acting fine, can see fine, pupils are equal with no problem. Do you think maybe she just scratched it or is this something...
Every night my Easter egger tries to sleep on a resting bar that she isn’t supposed to be on and every morning she sends herself off of it so we can’t tell if the swelling in her photo is from bumblefoot or a sprain please help because she has recently started limping
Hey everyone, last week there was a fox in our coop, and it killed 19 chickens (my parents think that the fox probably got stuck in the coop, couldn't find the way out, and because of that it killed that many chickens). A few of them got injured, and we had to euthanize them, there is one...
This has been going on for a little under a week - I noticed his eye was irritated about 6 days ago but it’s progressively (and rather rapidly) gotten worse. Tonight it was swollen shut and I could barely get anything in.
I have been trying to routinely flush it out with saline and putting...
Woke up to a bunch of feathers laying in the coop and saw this on two of my chickens today, they both have this exact same thing. Does this look like molting or are they pecking out the feathers? Have had my chickens for about a year and have never seen this. Any tips and tricks are wanted!!
Baby turkey (about 1 week?) was unfortunately placed with ducklings and received a leg injury. He was promptly removed and placed in a separate box. At the beginning, he balanced on one leg, and held the other up with toes curled. I put cardboard on his toes to straighten them out, and Internet...
My dog just attacked one of my chickens... I've been crying all night lol. I love my animals so much, I know many of you understand this! He's a LG Dog (puppy) just under 5 months old and is 50+lbs so we've been training him and working with him every single day, all day. We just put a bunch of...
Our second little flock of 3 silkies (4-ish months) have shared a large yard with our original flock of 8 mostly standards (10 months: 7 girls 1 roo) The younger silkies spend days outside in pen area, deliberately not secure as I hoped they’d start adventuring out a bit. That also means the...
One of our hyline brown hens has had their leg injured. I can’t see anything external but she is definitely in pain and is limping, and will usually lie down instead of standing. We don’t want to take her to the vet because of the cost, but is there any way to help her leg at home?
I have a 9 month old buff orpington. The last few days she seems a little off. Eating and drinking normal. Poop normal. But she seems a little tired and stand offish. I picked her up to give her an inspection and from how she looks she is fine. But. When she started flapping her wings she only...
Hi!! New to quails. I’ve noticed these last few days my quail is slowing down and saw this on her foot. Not sure what to do :( please advise - no farm vets near by.
please help! I was hanging out with my girls today and I noticed one of my hens had 2 different eye colors. One is dark brown the other is yellowish-gold. I also noticed her eyes are sunken and weird looking. Both of them. Her eyes have always looked funky after previous eye injuries (that were...
I took my ducks swimming like usual, then I noticed my little one had something red on their toe, I took them (Still unsure of gender) out of their carrier, and realized their whole nail was gone, now that’s left is this red thing. I think it’s the quick?
It doesn’t seem to hurt them because I...
Hi I’m new to keeping quail. This morning my dog got out and tried to jump on the quail cage. Unfortunately one of my quails was injured. She seems to be walking around ok I have her in a cardboard box in the bathroom. Her foot looks swollen. There was blood on the cage but I wasn’t able to see...
Hey everyone! I have spent the last ten days dealing with what I thought was vent gleet and caked on feathers. I used tweezers and got the "feather chunk" off above her vent to realize it was torn and scabbed. A fox attacked and I found my girl unable to walk good the next day and not coming out...

Help! This is kind of urgent. So I have a Rhode Island Red hen who is fully grown, and just raised up 2 Silkies. One Silkie is a rooster and the other is a hen. NOTE: my RIR is very friendly and kind and I’ve never noticed any aggressive behavior from her. I decided to finally merge the two...
