My little silkie rooster hasn't been doing well. He has had what I call "Bubbly eye" for the past couple days. He's been limping for about the same amount of time. Today he can barely stand and is having a hard time breathing. I was giving him some Terramycin for his eye when I noticed this...
I have two 1 week old ducklings that got out and were chased by my older ducks today. They are fine, but during the craziness, one started having a gooey snot-like substance come out of her mouth. When they calmed down, it seemed to go away. Should I be worried about this? Thanks in advance!
Hello,
My husband and I got chickens two weeks ago for our backyard in the city. They have seemed very happy and love foraging around in our yard. We feed them laying feed mixed with peanuts and sunflower seeds. We’ve also given them dried lentils, cooked porridge, pieces of onions, kale and...
Hi everyone, today I'd like to share one discovery that might be useful to those who needed it! :D

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with similar symptoms in their chickens. My rooster has been throwing up mucus/head shaking once or twice daily. The mucus is clear (no blood) In addition, some of my hens are shaking their heads, as well, with the occasional sneeze. I've...

Hi guys, I'm English and we live in Spain. My poor 4-week old chick has a nasty, humongous, what I believe to be as we've been inundated with them, wasp sting on its eye (pictures provided). It's been there for what feels like a lifetime and we've tried bathing it with olive oil, English tea and...
I'm new to this site and new to living on water front. We have a female mallard duck that appeared to have to wounded wings. So I penned her and taped the wings up for one week. While she was in her pen I noticed that she has mucus coming from her bill when she shakes her head. I let her ou t...
This morning my 5 month old Barred Rock hen was showing signs of lethargy. She was sitting quietly in the corner of the pen. I thought maybe she was trying to lay an egg as she hasn't laid one yet. But then she started shaking her chest and neck like she was gagging. Then I noticed thick...

We have had a run of bad luck lately. A fox has been killing off my flock. He killed my rooster and three hens two weeks ago but didn't make off with them. He came back yesterday, when I thought he'd moved on, to kill one of my geese and take off with a hen and a duck. Now I have one chicken...
