    Can I vaccinate chicks after 24 hours?

    Hello all! Please let me know if this is better posted elsewhere. I'm ordering chicks from a small farm that doesn't vaccinate their birds.

    Large growth/damage to beak

    Hi all, Today I noticed a large wound on my hen, Ede (6YO). My chickens are free range and don't have a ton of contact with us outside of feeding/picking up eggs so I'm not sure how long this has been going on. She was eating and drinking normally. All other chickens appear fine. I'll be putting...

    HELP! Goose with possible respiratory infection with strange symptoms

    One of my geese recently became pretty ill over the past few days. A month ago both of my geese had a respiratory infection and was treated with Baytril. The symptoms mostly cleared up and after the 5 days I stopped medicating them. 2 days ago I noticed my 2 month old goose (Gilly) was breathing...

    Blisters and wounds on face and combs

    I “rescued” some silkies and one black (supposed) Astrolop. We aren’t sure what all is wrong. I have them isolated away from my main flock, with an electric fence buffer to keep a 6 ft DMZ type zone). They aren’t as active as my normal flock but they aren’t lethargic either. Their legs have...

    What’s wrong with my Pekin ducks feet?

    Hey y’all, I got a 2 year old Pekin duck recently from someone who was getting rid of all their birds. I checked her feet today just making sure there’s no bumblefoot going on, to my surprise I saw on the ends of some of her toes were big and were missing toenails, could she have froze some toes...

    We have a small flock of Cornish Cross due to be processed by the end of this month. However when tending to them, we noticed on one of our roosters this skin issue? Maybe? We aren't entirely sure what it could be and Google has come up empty. Thought maybe someone here could help photos...

    Duck Call/Signal: Emergencies that Need Help!

    I would suggest that we in this forum have a sticky thread that serves as a digital ER - at least the best we can. It should be a sticky because I have seen too many emergency threads not get the attention they need simply because, in their distress, folks can't verbalize and be descriptive...

    Recently a fox got into our backyard and killed one of our ducks and injured the other, a little over a year old khaki Campbell.

    VERY BAD Hen Injury!

    Our poor Red Orpington "Scarlett" was severely injured on her side, while we was away. She was badly over mated by our Rhode Island Red rooster. It is a very deep and gruesome wound. If anyone has any good medical advice for this, Please Share. More images will follow this one.
